DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of collisions. Your driving ability can
be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels far below the legal mini\
mum. If you are drinking, don’t
drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.
WARNING
Driving after drinking can lead to a collision. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower,
and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink a\
nd then drive.

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in a collision and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the
driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may tak\
e their attention off the road. Use of
any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, computers, portable\
radios, vehicle navigation or other devices, by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and coul\
d lead to a serious collision. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while the vehic\
le is moving. If you find yourself
unable to devote your full attention to vehicle operation, pull off the \
road to a safe location and stop your
vehicle. Some states or provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephone\
s or texting while driving. It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
