VISIBILITY/WIPER
The warning labels that are posted on the front of the sun visors are a visual distraction that diminish the forward sight line of the driver. When I cover the warning label with my hand the depth of field and forward sight line is greatly improved. I removed this label from previous vehicles that I owned. However, the sticker on this vehicle is part of the visor and can not be removed. I have never read this warning label, nor has anyone in my family. In my opinion, all warnings and precautions should be placed in the owner's manual. It is impossible to place every precaution or warning on a sun visor label. The label diminishes the drivers visibility and is another item that has to be mentally and visually processed. Driving safely requires focus and concentration, this label only adds a constant distraction while driving. Removing the label or placing it on the underside of the visor would improve visibility and safety.
