Driving and Operating 9-3 Medical research shows that alcohol in a person's system can make crash injuries worse, especially injuries to the brain, spinal cord, or heart. This means that when anyone who has been drinking — driver or passenger — is in a crash, that person's chance of being killed or permanently disabled is higher than if the person had not been drinking. Control of a V ehicle The following three systems help to control the vehicle while driving — brakes, steering, and accelerator . At times, as when driving on snow or ice, it is easy to ask more of those control systems than the tires and road can provide. Meaning, you can lose control of the vehicle. See Stab[...]

9-4 Driving and Operating If the engine ever stops while the vehicle is being driven, brake normally but do not pump the brakes. If the brakes are pumped, the pedal could get harder to push down. If the engine stops, there will still be some power brake assist but it will be used when the brake is applied. Once the power assist is used up, it can take longer to stop and the brake pedal will be harder to push. Adding non ‐ dealer/non ‐ retailer accessories can affect vehicle performance. See Accessories and Modifications on page 10 ‑ 3 .

Driving and Operating 9-5 An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick decision. If holding the steering wheel at the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock positions, it can be turned a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly , and just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have avoided the object. The fact that such emergency situations are always possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving at all times and wear safety belts properly . Off-Road Recovery The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pav[...]

9-6 Driving and Operating Skidding In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonable care suited to existing conditions, and by not overdriving those conditions. But skids are always possible. The three types of skids correspond to the vehicle's three control systems. In the braking skid, the wheels are not rolling. In the steering or cornering skid, too much speed or steering in a curve causes tires to slip and lose cornering force. And in the acceleration skid, too much throttle causes the driving wheels to spin. If the vehicle starts to slide, ease your foot off the accelerator pedal and quickly steer the way you want the veh[...]

9-52 Driving and Operating If a weight-carrying hitch or a weight-distributing hitch is being used, the trailer tongue (A) should weigh 10 ‐ 15 percent of the total loaded trailer weight (B). After loading the trailer , weigh the trailer and then the tongue, separately , to see if the weights are proper . If they are not, adjustments might be made by moving some items around in the trailer . T railering may be limited by the vehicle's ability to carry tongue weight. T ongue weight cannot cause the vehicle to exceed the GVWR (Gross V ehicle Weight Rating) or the RGA WR (Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating). The effect of additional weight may reduce the trailering capacity more than the tota[...]

Driving and Operating 9-53 Weight is still below 3 266 kg (7,200 lbs) and you might think 318 additional kilograms (700 lbs) should be subtracted from the trailering capacity to stay within GCWR limits. The maximum trailer would only be 3 538 kg (7,800 lbs). Y ou may go further and think the tongue weight should be limited to less than 454 kg (1,000 lbs) to avoid exceeding GVWR. But the effect on the rear axle must still be considered. Because the rear axle now weighs 1 406 kg (3,100 lbs), 408 kg (900 lbs) can be put on the rear axle without exceeding RGAWR. The effect of tongue weight is about 1.5 times the actual weight. Dividing the 408 kg (900 lbs) by 1.5 leaves only 272 kg (600 lbs) of [...]
