4 Driving, alcohol and drugs
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even with blood
alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have been
drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking
driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation.
Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower will not make you
sober.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your
alertness, perception and reaction time. Consult with your doc-
tor or pharmacist before driving while under the influence of
any of these medications.
Vehicle preparation before driving
N00629000555
For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the fol-
lowing:Seat belts and seatsBefore starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all
passengers are seated and wearing their seat belts properly
(with children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints),
and that all the doors and liftgate are locked.
Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while
still keeping good visibility, and good control of the steer-
ing wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls. Check the
instrument panel indicators and multi-information display
for any possible problem.
In the same way, the front passenger seat should also be
moved as far back as possible.
Make sure that infants and small children are properly
restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.Floor matAlways properly position floor mat and assure it does not inter-
fere with operation of the pedals. Always use retaining clip on
the driver’s floorboard to secure the Mitsubishi genuine floor
mat. When used, this clip will help prevent the floor mat from
moving forward and possibly interfering with the operation of
the pedals. To prevent the floor mat from moving forward and
possibly interfering with the operation of the pedals, Mitsub-
ishi genuine floor mats are recommended.
