Home for the Holidays: Is Your Car Up for the Journey? AUTOMOTIVE Pre Trip Inspection- Is Your Car Ready for the Holiday JourneyBefore you pack up the car to head home for the holidays, the Car Care Council reminds you to make sure your vehicle is ready for the journey. Conducting a thorough vehicle inspection will help you avoid the inconvenience and potential safety hazards of breaking down miles away from home. “It’s easy to remember to get your family ready for the holiday festivities, but what about preparing the car that’s going to get you there?” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Having a pre-inspection performed on your car will give you peace of mind as you travel and help make your journey safer.” Before leaving home, the Car Care Council recommends a check of the following, often overlooked, items: tires and tire pressure, brakes, hoses and belts, air lters, wipers, exterior and interior lighting, and uid levels, including engine oil, windshield washer solvent and antifreeze/coolant. “A pre-trip inspection provides the opportunity to have service repairs made at home by your own trusted technician who knows the vehicle, and helps reduce the chance of costly and dangerous trouble on the road,” said Rich While. 9 Steps For a Winter Ready Car Steps to Winterize You VehicleThe last thing any driver needs is to break down in cold, harsh winter weather. A vehicle check now before winter arrives is a sensible way to be car care aware and avoid the inconvenience of being stranded out in the cold and with the unexpected expense of emergency repairs, says the Car Care Council. “Winterizing your vehicle before the temperatures drop is a wise idea,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “An investment of an hour or two to have your vehicle checked is all it takes to have peace of mind and help avoid the cost and hassle of car trouble during severe weather.” The Car Care Council recommends the following steps for winterizing your vehicle: If you’re due for a tune-up, have it done before winter sets in. inter magnies existing problems such as pings, hard starts, sluggish performance or rough idling. Have the battery and charging system checked for optimum performance. Cold weather is hard on batteries. lean, ush and put new antifreee in the cooling system. As a general rule of thumb, this should be done every two years. Make sure heaters, defrosters and wipers work properly. Consider winter wiper blades and use cold weather washer uid. s a general rule, wiper blades should be replaced every six months. Check the tire tread depth and tire pressure. If snow and ice are a problem in your area, consider special tires designed to grip slick roads. During winter, tire pressure should be checked weekly. Have the brakes checked. The braking system is the vehicle’s most important safety item. Have the exhaust system checked for carbon monoxide leaks, which can be especially dangerous during cold weather driving when windows are closed. • • • The Car Care Council also recommends that drivers keep important telephone numbers in their cell phone or glove box in case of a breakdown or travel emergency. Vehicles should have a roadside emergency kit that includes items such as a rst aid kit, a tire-changing ack, a tire pressure gauge, umper cables, a ashlight and a blanket. copy of the recently-updated 80-page Car Care Guide should be kept in the glove box and can be ordered free of charge at www. carcare.org/car-care-guide.

Check to see that exterior and interior lights work and headlights are properly aimed. e diligent about changing the oil and lter at recommended intervals. Dirty oil can spell trouble in winter. Consider changing to “winter weight” oil if you live in a cold climate. Have your technician check the fuel, air and transmission lters at the same time. Motorists should also keep the gas tank at least half full at all times to decrease the chances of moisture forming in the gas lines and possibly freezing. Drivers should check the tire pressure of the spare in the trunk and stock an emergency kit with an ice scraper and snowbrush, jumper cables, ashlight, ares, blanket, extra clothes, candlesmatches, bottled water, dry food snacks and needed medication.
