DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS
AND DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream reduces
coordination, delays reaction time and impairs
judgment. Driving after drinking alcohol
increases the likelihood of being involved in
an accident injuring yourself and others.
Additionally, if you are injured in an accident,
alcohol can increase the severity of the injury.
Mitsubishi Motors is committed to safe driving.
However, you must choose not to drive under
the influence of alcohol. Every year thousands
of people are injured or killed in alcohol-related
accidents. Although the local laws vary on what
is considered to be legally intoxicated, the fact
is that alcohol affects all people differently and
most people underestimate the effects of
alcohol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!
And that is true for drugs, too (over-the-counter,
prescription, and illegal drugs). Don’t drive if
your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired
by alcohol, drugs, or some other physical
condition.
DRIVING SAFETY PRECAU-
TIONS
Your vehicle has been designed for both normal
and occasional off-road use. However, avoid
driving the vehicle through areas where the tires
may get stuck in deep sand or mud as your
vehicle is designed primarily for use on
pavement, unlike a conventional off-road ve-
hicle.
Keep in mind that 2-wheel drive vehicles are
less capable than 4-wheel drive vehicles for
driving on muddy, slippery, wet or snow-
covered roads.
Please observe the following precautions:
WARNING
.
Drive carefully when off the road and
avoid dangerous areas. Every person who
drives or rides in this vehicle should be
seated with their seat belt fastened. This
will keep you and your passengers in
position when driving over rough terrain.
.
Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead
drive either straight up or straight down
the slopes. Off-road vehicles can tip over
sideways much more easily than they can
forward or backward.
