According to the American Medical Association, a 180-pound (82 kg) person
who drinks three 12-ounce
(355 ml) bottles of beer in an hour will end up
with a BAC of about
0.06 percent. The person would reach the same BAC
by drinking three 4-ounce
(120 ml) glasses of wine or three mixed drinks if
each had 142 ounces (45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey, gin or vodka.
It's the amount of alcohol that counts. For example,
if the same person drank
three double martinis
(3 ounces or 90 ml of liquor each) within an hour, the
person's BAC
would be close to 0.12 percent. A person who consumes food
just before or during drinking will have a slightly lower BAC level.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Controlling your vehicle is the key to successful off-road driving. One of the
best ways to control your vehicle is to control your speed. Here are some
things to keep in mind. At higher speeds:
you approach things faster and you have less time to scan the terrain
for obstacles.
you have less time to react.
you have more vehicle bounce when you drive over obstacles.
you’ll need more distance for braking, especially since you’\
re on an
unpaved surface.
I CAUTION
A When you’re driving off road, bouncing and quick changes in direc-
1 tion can easily throw you out of position. This could cause you to
lose control and crash. So, whether you’re driving on or off the road,
you and your passengers should wear safety belts.
Scanning the Terrain
Off-road driving can take you over many different kinds of terrain. You need
to be familiar with the terrain and its many different features. \
Here are some
things
to consider.
Surface Conditions
Off-roading can take you over hard-packed dirt, gravel, rocks, grass, sand,
mud, snow or ice. Each of these surfaces affects the steering, acceleration,
and braking of your truck in different ways. Depending upon the kind of
surface you are on, you may experience slipping, sliding, wheel spinning,
delayed acceleration, poor traction, and longer braking distances\
.
Surface Obstacles
Unseen or hidden obstacles can be hazardous. A rock, log, hole, rut, or
bump can startle you
if you’re not prepared for them. Often these obstacles
are hidden by grass, bushes, snow or even the rise and fall of the terrain
itself. Here are some things to consider:
Is the path ahead clear?
Will the surface texture change abruptly up ahead?
Does the travel take you uphill or downhill? (There’s more discussion of
Will you have to stop suddenly or change direction quickly?
these subjects
later.)

1. Set the parking brake firmly.
2. Place the auto’matic transmission in P (Park) or the manual transmission
in th:e lowest gear
(1 st gear).
3. Firmly attach the vehicle being towed to the tow vehicle. Refer to the
hitch manufacturer’s instructions.
Shifting the transfer case to N (Neutral) can cause your veh\
icle
to
roll even if the transmission is in P (Park), for an automatic
transmission, or
if your vehicle is in gear, for a manual transmission.
This is because the transfer case overrides the transmission.

. Unlock-
ing the steering column will allow for proper movement of the front
wheelshires during towing.

When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition key off. The steering
wheel should be clamped in a straight-ahead position with a clamping device
designed for a towing service. Do not use the vehicle's steeri\
ng column
lock for this. The transmission (either automatic or manual) should\
be in
N (Neutral) and the transfer case (either manual shift or elec\
tronic shift), if
you have one, should be in 2 WHEEL (two-wheel drive). The parking brake
should be released.
Don't have your vehicle towed on the rear (drive) wheels, un\
less you have
to,
If the vehicle must be towed on the rear wheels, don't go more than 35 mph
(56 km/h) or farther than 50 miles (80 km) or your transmission will be
damaged.
If these limits must be exceeded, then the rear drive wheels have\
to be supported on a dolly.
If your vehicle has the four-wheel-drive option, a dolly
MUST be used under
the rear wheels when towing from the front.
