Before the therinome-
.ter dips below freezing
levels, take advantage of the
remaining warm weather to
condition your car for the
cold months ahead. The Au-
tomotive Information Coun-
cil offers the following tips:
Starting with the exterior
of the car, put the high-
pressure nozzle on your
garden hose and clean the
under parts of the car
thoroughly. Pay special
attention to the fender wells,
the door sills and door
bottoms where rust can get
a head start.
Make sure the under-door
drain openings haven't be-
come clogged by the sum-
mer's mud or road tar. If
clogged, moisture will build
up inside the door panels and
provide an environment for
rust.
Then give the car a good
wax coating to protect the
finish.
If you spot any paint bub-
bles or brown blotches, sand
the surface gently and repaint
the affected areas.
Read owner's manual
Then read your owner's
manual, especially the sec-
tions on seasonal mainte-.
nance. Tire pressure, cooling
system care and ignition sys-
tem maintenance are most
important for the upcoming
months.
Find an open road or a
vacant parking lot and run
the car at various speeds to
evaluate performance of the
steering, brakes, shock ab-
sorbers and front-end align-
ment.
Listen for unusual noises
such as pings, screeches,
groans or rattles and look at
the color of the exhaust
smoke—it it burns blue or
black you could have a prob-
lem. If in doubt, consult a
mechanic.
Poor
shifting
wastes
gas
Even though manual
transmissions can help re-
duce fuel consumption, you
may be robbing yourself of
this gas-saving advantage by
using poor shifting tech-
niques.
Shift into high as quickly as
possible. Racing along in
second gear can use up to 45
percent more fuel depending
on the age and model of your
car.
Don't postpone a tune-up
of your car simply because it
seems to be running okay.
Spark plug misfiring you may
not notice will cause your
engine to drink extra gas.

for noises before winter
