Drinking and driving is dangerous.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount

perceptions and judgment. Driving

is as dangerous or more dangerous
than driving drunk.

serious accident if you drink or
take drugs and drive.

don’t drive. Do not ride with a driv-
er who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver
or call a cab.

Be sure there are no obstacles behind
you if you intend to back up.
• Be sure that all lights work.

Check the operation of warning lights
when the engine start/stop button is
turned to the ON position.

coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid

tion 7, “Maintenance”.

sure the brake warning light goes out.

iar with your vehicle and its equipment.
