Be prepared for winter

IT WON’T be too long before the entire province
starts to feel winter’s grip. :

To make sure you don’t feel more of the cold than
you have to, the B.C. Automobile Association sug-
gests you prepare now for the cold weather that’s
bound to arrive.

BCAA’s supervisor of vehicle inspections, Dave
Chapman, advises you to give your car the chance it
deserves, with a complete pre-winter service and
tune-up. .

“Have your mechanic tune the engine, check and
service the brakes, cooling system, battery, tires and
exhaust system and give it an oil change and iubrica-
tion. Ensuze that the lights and windshield wipers are
working properly,’’ Chapman says.

Once your car is ready for the road, there are a few
items you should pack in case a fierce winter storm
should strike without warning. (Even when warnings
have been issued, and the storm is'creating havoc,
many motorists stiff insist on driving.)

BCAA recommends you carry these essential items

in your car throughout the winter:

¢ shovel and sand

© first aid kit

© wool blanket

© booster cables

© tire chains

© coins and emergency phone numbers

« warning light or road flares

© ice scraper and brush

© (working) flashlight

© extra fuses

© road maps

If you are travelling long distances on the highway
you should also include:

© matches and a slow burning candle

e warm clothing and footwear

® non-perishable food

An emergency kit such as this one will keep you
safe, warm and dry until the storm passes or help ar-
rives. Winter's arrival might take you by surprise, but
it won’t be a problem if both you and your car are
prepared.
