Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases or \
other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust.
If the surface of a disc is
soiled, dampen
a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean
it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never
ta touch the signal surface when handling discs. Pick up discs
by grasping the outer edges or
the edge of the. hole and the outer edge.
Fixed Masf Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand most c,ar washes without being
damaged.
If the mast should ever become sli,ghtly bent, you can straighten \
it
out by band.
If the mast is badly bent, as it might be by' vandals, you should
replace it.
Check every once in a while to be sure the mast is still tightened to the
fender.

:c. 1-
1 -- ,- -. , ..
The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively\
,
Please start with a
very important safety device in your vehicle: Buckle up.
(See “Safety Belts”
in the Index.)
Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.” On city streets,
rural roads, or freeways, it means “always expect the unexpected.”
Assume that pedestrians or other drivers are going to be carel\
ess and make
mistakes. Anticipate what they might do. Be ready for their mistakes.
Rear-end collisions are about the most preventable
of accidents. Yet they
are common. Allow enough following distance. It’s the best d\
efensive
driving maneuver, in both city and rural driving. You never know when the
vehicle
in front of you is going to brake or turn suddenly.
Drunken Driving
Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is a nat\
ional tragedy.
It’s the number one contributor to the highway death toll, \
claiming
thousands
of victims every year. Alcohol takes away three things that
anyone needs to drive a vehicle:
Judgment
Muscular Coordination
Vision
Police records show mar almost half
of all motor vehicle-related deaths
involve alcohol
- a driver, a passenger or someone else, such as a
pedestrian, had been drinking. In most cases, these deaths are \
the result of
someone who was drinking and driving. About
20,000 motor
vehicle-related deaths occur each year because of alcohol, and \
thousands
01
people are injured.
Just how much alcohol is too much if a person plans to drive\
? Ideally, no one should drink alcohol and then drive. But
if one does, then what’s “too
much”? It can be a lot less than many might think. Although it depends on
each person and situation, here is some.genera1 information
on the problem.
The Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)
of someone who is drinking depends
upon four things:
How much alcohol is in the drink.
0 The drinker’s body weight.
The amount of food that is consumed before and during drinking.
The length of time it has taken the drinker to consume the alcohol.
4-2

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 &ounce (120
ml) glasses of wine or three mixed
drinks
if each had 1-1/2 ounces (45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey, gin or
vodka.
It’s the amount of alcohol that counts. For example,
if the sue 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.
I
The law in most U.S. states sets the legal limit at a BAC of 0.10 percent. In
Canada the limit is
0.08 percent, and in some other countries it’s lower than
that. The BAC will be over 0.10 percent after three to six drinks (in \
one
hour).
Of course, as we’ve seen, it depends on how much alcohol is in the
drinks, and how quickly the person drinks them.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine “I’ll be carehl” isn’t the right answer. What if there’s an emergency, a need
to take sudden action, as when a child darts into the street?\
A
P~~SOS with a
bgher
BAC might not be able to react quickly enough to avoid the collis\
ion.
There’s something else about drinking-and driving that many p\
eople don’t
know. Medical research shows that alcohol in a person’s system can make
crash injuries worse. That’s especially true for brain, spinal cord and heart
injuries. That means that
if anyone who has been drinking - driver or
passenger
- is in a crash, the chance of being killed or permanently
disabled is higher than if that person had not been drinking. And we’ve\

already seen that the chance
of a crash itself is higher for drinking drivers. .~
