Lincoln Navigator (1999) — безопасное вождение через воду и загрузка автомобиля [124/216]

Превью страниц Страница 124 / 216

If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very

slowly. Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the

hubs.

Once through the water, always try the brakes. Wet brakes do not stop

the vehicle as effectively as dry brakes. Drying can be improved by

moving your vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake

pedal.

Driving through deep water where the transmission is submerged

may allow water into the transmission and cause internal

transmission damage.

VEHICLE LOADING

Before loading a vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms:

• Base Curb Weight : Weight of the vehicle including any standard

equipment, fluids, lubricants, etc. It does not include passengers or

aftermarket equipment.

• Payload : Combined maximum allowable weight of cargo, passengers

and optional equipment. The payload equals the gross vehicle weight

rating minus base curb weight.

• GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) : Base curb weight plus payload

weight. The GVW is not a limit or a specification.

• GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) : Maximum total weight of

the base vehicle, passengers, optional equipment and cargo. The

GVWR is specific to each vehicle and is listed on the Safety

Compliance Label on the driver’s door pillar.

• GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) : Carrying capacity for each

axle system. The GAWR is specific to each vehicle and is listed on the

Safety Compliance Label on the driver’s door pillar.

• GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) : Maximum combined

weight of towing vehicle (including passengers and cargo) and the

trailer. The GCWR indicates the maximum loaded weight that the

vehicle is designed to tow.

• Maximum Trailer Weight Rating : Maximum weight of a trailer the

vehicle is permitted to tow. The maximum trailer weight rating is

determined by subtracting the vehicle curb weight for each

engine/transmission combination, any required option weight for trailer

towing and the weight of the driver from the GCWR for the towing

vehicle.
