WINTER CAR CARE
OCTOBER 22, 2010
Preparing your vehicle for winter With the cold winds and snow, your car will have to work harder to get you around. That’s why it is important to keep your vehicle in good operating condition. Avoiding a breakdown in bad weather is the best case scenario. A poorly maintainted vehicle could leave you stranded, an unsafe situation. Maintaining a vehicle only takes a few minutes but could save you thousands of dollars and much time in having your car being broken down. To prepare your vehicle for winter, you can do some preventive maintenance or have a qualified service technician do it for you. Twelve basic things should be done, including: Be sure the engine is running smoothly. Have your local mechanic listen to your engine run. He may detect a misfire you may not hear. Make sure all fluid levels are adequate. Change the oil. Check your owner’s manual or
talk to a professional about the correct oil weight to use in the winter. Generally, you will want to use 10W30 instead of 10W40. Heavier oil will get thicker in the winter. Have the anti-freeze checked for the proper temperature protection. Make sure it is full. Your windshield wipers should be in good working order. If not, replace them. If they come off or don’t remove the ice and snow while you’re driving you won’t be able to see. Make sure your tires are in good shape. Buy new ones if the tread is worn. It is amazing the difference in traction on snowy roads when you have tires with good tread. By thinking you can get through one more winter on “May Pops” (tires that could pop at any moment) you could be jeopardizing your safety. If you are not sure what the prop-
er inflation level of your tires is check your owner’s manual. Fill the tires to the proper P.S.I. that is listed in your manual or imprinted on the tire. Check your headlights and taillights. If they are not working properly check the fuses and bulbs. Be sure to test the turn signals and brake lights also. Winterize your belts and hoses. Inspect
them for wear. Replace them if necessary. Make sure the heater and defroster is working correctly. Check the thermostat. Make sure you have the proper one for the size of your car and its options. All season tires can be used year around. If you find that they are not satisfactory for your region or for the amount of driving you do, you can buy snow tires. Snow tires are sug-

gested for areas that get a heavy accumulation of snow. They are designed to get better traction and have greater stability on slushy roads. More stable tires will give you greater control. Snow tires come with special features, which may include studs, specialized rubber compounds or additional traction enhancers molded directly into the tire. Since your battery is the source of power for your
heater and defroster fans, lights and various other things. Test it to make sure it is operating at optimal performance. When it is cold, you car will need a strong battery to turn over the engine. Once general maintenance has been performed, it’s time to accessorize your car with items that are helpful in case of getting caught in the weather. The possibility of being stranded is always there. Being prepared will make the difference between getting you and your vehicle home safely or not. A winter emergency kit to keep in your car could include all or some of the following items: jumper cables, a warm pair of gloves, hat, boots, ice scraper, flashlight, blanket and a first aid kit, shovel, traction pads or chains, flares, candles, nonperishable food items such as snack bars and a cellular phone.

WINTER CAR CARE
OCTOBER 22, 2010
Roadside emergency! What to do if you break down If your car breaks down three blocks from home on a sunny, Sunday afternoon, you're going to be inconvenienced, but that's about all. However, if your vehicle stops in the middle of a four-lane highway during evening rush hour with a freezing rain blowing, everything changes. Few motorists are prepared to meet the challenges of an automotive emergency. Because they assume it will never happen to them they have no plan and little equipment. When their turn finally arrives, their safety and perhaps their lives may depend on split second decisions, having the proper items and knowing how to use them. Think through the worst case scenario and figure out what to do. For example, if you can't get off the road, set up flares or reflectors. Exit the car away from the traffic. Raise the hood and leave it open. Often motorists are completely unprepared for a breakdown. They need to know how to fix the simple things, like changing a flat tire. This not only means knowing the procedure, it also entails having the right jack and a good, inflated spare. If you haven't had experience with this process, practice at home under
familiar conditions. Another worthy lesson is how to jumpstart a car. Although there is nothing mysterious about connecting the cables to the battery, done incorrectly it can be dangerous. Learn the procedure or keep the instructions handy. Buy a set of jumper cables and put them in the trunk. Having to abandon your vehicle is another intimidating scenario. Motorists should stay with their vehicle if at all possible and wait for a uniformed law enforcement officer. However, if you must walk, leave an information sheet on the dash with your name, date, time you left and the direction you are walking. Finally, be prepared with items such as reflectors, a blanket, tire inflator, first aid kit, bottled water, etc. Ask yourself what you would need if you were stranded in extreme heat or cold for an extended period. The best defense against an automotive crisis is a mechanically dependable vehicle. However, proper emergency preparation can mean the difference between an inconvenience and a tragedy.

WINTER CAR CARE
PAGE 11
Create your own car safety kit Every day hundreds of motorists find themselves stranded in their cars for one reason or another. It may be a flat tire, an empty gas tank, or a mechanical problem. Thankfully most of these situations occur on well-traveled roads, and in daytime hours. With a cell phone, most motorists simply call a towing service tat takes care of their problem after a brief wait. But what about those times when there aren’t a lot of other vehicles nearby or you are in an area far away from home? And what about folks who don’t have their own cell phones? These situations require a bit of forethought and a little preparation. Climate affects the kind of preparations one should make. Motorists in winter
climates can be frost bitten or freeze to death while trapped in a stalled car in freezing conditions. There is also a danger of being struck by another vehicle wandering into blizzard conditions. Commuters shouldn’t be afraid of becoming stranded in their car! Instead, be prepared. By following these basic instructions, you can create a care safety kit designed to handle even the most obscure of emergencies. The items are all readily available in your local stores and many of them are already within your own home. This kit is economical, simple to put together, and intended to provide a sense of calm in light of minor motoring mishaps. Suggested Materials: Plastic container with sealed lid: Approximately
1x2 feet around, and about six inches deep. A solar blanket: These come in many medical emergency kits. They are used to generate body or solar heat, and can help the human body retain its heat for quite some time. Flares: This should be self-explanatory, but for those with questions, the flares may be used to signal help in the event that your car has gone off the road, or you find yourself in a desolate area. Towel: For the mechanically inclined, this will clean your greasy hands and provide something to kneel on when attempting to change that flat! Water: This is imperative. Bottled water lasts years, and may be used to wash wounds, fill a radiator, and yes—even to drink. When the tempera-

ture drops far below freezing you should remove your bottle of water from the car between trips to prevent the bottle from freezing and soaking everything in your container, Food: Sealed packages of fruit snacks are ideal. They have a long shelf life and provide a burst of carbohydrates in the event that hours go by without a meal. Medication: Single sealed packets of aspirin. This is helpful in aiding an injury and is especially important if someone is experiencing chest pains. Matches: A plasticsealed box of wooden matches. In case those flares fail, stir up a few smoke signals of your own. Sneakers or sturdy shoes: This is especially
important for business commuters who would typically be dressed in business attire. If the situation mandates any walking in adverse terrain, those Liz Claiborne slingbacks won’t do you much good! Children’s items: If you have small children, pack extra bottles, diapers, and food during winter. I know what you’re thinking! You’re undoubtedly picturing your car’s trunk. Visually wading past the lawn chair and gym bag, the ten-pound bag of dog food you forgot to bring inside and your weathered set of golf clubs—you think, “Oh, sure! Where am I supposed to pack a safety kit with all that junk in it?” Take heart. Check out the dimensions of the container. A bit of strategic
planning will ascertain all items fit conveniently (and neatly!) inside. They will take up but a mere fraction of trunk space. Maybe while you’re arranging your carefully assembled car safety kit you may be struck with inspiration and clean out the trunk. After all, when you’re involved in a mishap, breakdown, or off-the-road incident—what purpose will those golf clubs actually serve? A car safety kit may seem like a tiny contribution to keeping safe on the highway but they have been known to provide aid in a variety of motoring situations. Reflect on the wisdoms of your youth. Remember the old Scouting adage, “Be prepared!” Copyright Publishers-Edge
WADERICH’S
WHY ALIGN? The maintenance council recommends for trucks: • New Vehicles - 1st alignment should occur 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Every 80,000 - 100,000 miles or 12 - 18 months, whichever comes first. • Trailer Alignment Maintenance every 6 months - more often if trailer is subjected to severe service. Misaligned axles will cause excessive, irregular and expensive tire wear.
