Carry Emergency Equipment
Depending on the severity of the
weather where you drive your car, you
should carry appropriate emergency
equipment. Some of the items you
may want to carry include tire chains,
tow straps or chains, flashlight, emer-
gency flares, sand, a shovel, jumper
cables, a window scraper, gloves,
ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.

Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumu-
late Underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driv-
ing in severe winter conditions where
this may happen, you should periodi-
cally check underneath the car to be
sure the movement of the front wheels
and the steering components is not
obstructed.

Pre-Trip Inspections
1. Tires:
Adjust the tire inflation pressures to
specification. Low tire inflation pres-
sures will result in overheating and
possible failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires
which may result in reduced traction or
tire failure.
NOTE:
Never exceed the maximum tire in-
flation pressure shown on the tires.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and
engine oil:
High speed travel consumes more fuel
than urban motoring. Do not forget to
check both engine coolant and engine
oil.
3. Drive belt:
A loose or damaged drive belt may
result in overheating of the engine.
USE OF LIGHTS
C180A01A-AAT
Check your lights regularly for correct
operation and always keep them clean.
When driving during the day in condi-
tions of poor visibility, it is helpful to
drive with headlights on low beam.
This enables you to be seen as well as
to see.
