BCAA cautions motorists to be prepared for the challenges of winter driving. Have your car winterized by a ‘licensed mechanic to ensure everything is in good running order. If you will be travelling to parts of. the province where temperatures . frequently drop below zero, make sure you carry a foul-weather kit. BCAA reminds motorists. that driving on ice and snow can be dangerous, so remember two key words: slow down. ‘““We sometimes forget that we can’t drive in. winter conditions like we would during the sum- mer,’’ says Marian Zadra, BCAA public affairs officer. ‘‘As motorists, we must remember that roads are generally: slippery, visibility can be poor — all condi- tions which require extra cau- tion.” In a recently released winter driving brochure, BCAA offers motorists important advice on winter driving precautions in- cluding a car maintenance check list, items required in a foul- weather kit and pointers on driv- ing in winter weather. To pick up a free copy of the Winter Driving Brochure, drop by BCAA’s service centre in Park Royal Shopping Centre’s south mall. W BRAKES w SHOCKS TUNE: UPS @& EXHAUST WW AUGNMENT We Rexyce Great Selection of USED Tires Neglecting maintenance at root of most emergencies AS THE mercury drops to levels fer below Freezing, medical ex- perts issue warnings about potential health dangers, While we heed the advice to take nee- essary precautions, we realize how vulnerable we really are. We also need to realize that the machine is vulnerable as well, This is evident by the tens of thousands of people whose cars fail them on that first cold morning. Most of these emergencies should not be attributed to the weather but, instead, to ne- glected mechanical maintenance, Here is a list for cold-weather dependability: C) Battery: Is it fully charged? Ef not, either the battery or the charging system may need atten- tion. C) Cooling System: fs your an- freeze still strong enough to provide protection against freezing? Are belts and hoses OK? Are the thermostat and pressure cap) functioniag like they should? C] Engine: Time for a tuneup? The best battery cannot start an engine that needs maintenance. Malfunctioning emission controls TO CATCH are found to be a cause of er- ratic engine operation in cold weather, C) O and Filter: An engine with dirty oil won't turr, over as easily on acald morning. Oil and filter should be changed as part of seasonal service. C) Tires: Avoid trouble by going into winter with good tires, pro- perly balanced and aligned. O Brakes: For safe, smooth stopping, check brakes before ice and snow cover the roads. C] Lights: All lights, including flashers,. should be checked; burned-out bulbs replaced.
