Automotive 1998 \*******,,,,
Tips to help women understand their car and travel safely
More than 40 per cent of women
entering the marketplace today to
purchase a vehicle are likely to be
shopping for a new car, says a 1998
report prepared by automotive
consultants. That means that close
to 60 per cent of women in the
market for a car will be buying a
Used vehicle. The same report also
indicates that those motorists who
own a used vehicle plan to have it
for 6 - 8 years.
More and more households are
run by single women, so women
are responsible for vehicle
maintenance in a growing number
of household and families. Even if
there is a male partner in the
household, many women are still
responsible for their vehicle's
maintenance. Historically women
have reported that they felt they.
were treated "differently" than their
male counterparts by repair
facilities.
Attitudes in repair facilities are
finally changing. More and more
repair facilities recognize that a
large part of their customer base is
female and that those customers
should be treated with respect, just
like any other customer. Surveys
show that women er.joy the safety
and security of having a well-
maintained vehicle, but dislike
having limited knowledge.
How can women learn more
about their vehicles, practice good
safety measures, and even save
money? First, Car Care Canada
recommends to female motorists
that they practise proper overall
vehicle maintenance. A properly
maintained vehicle is less likely to
break down and costs less money to
maintain in the long run.
The average annual cost for
vehicle repair in Canada is around
$777, so you should budget
accordingly.
Of course, the older the car, the
more the annual cost for
maintenance is likely to increase.
Secondly,. Car Care has
developed an easy to understand
booklet about vehicles called Car
Maintenance Made Easy. It covers
the basic parts of a car and what
they do. To order your copy, write
Car Care Canada, 1272 Wellington
Street, Ottawa, ON KlY 3A7.
Finally, Car Care Canada also
recommends ensuring that all the
safety features on the care are
properly maintained and in proper
working order. One area to focus
on is the Safety Triangle, three
parts of a vehicle — brakes, tires and
shocks — that work all together. If
any one of these key components is
not in top working condition,
stopping distances can increase
dramatically and driver control can
be seriously diminished.
There is a strong relationship
between shocks, brakes and tires
and Car Care Canada believes it is
vital to ensure proper maintenance
of each point on this safety triangle.
Straightforward Safety
Suggestions
Women may want to remember a
few other key safety points. If your
vehicle does break down, you
should pull as far off the road as
you can, and put your hazard lights
on. Your emergency kit should
include a sign that says "Call
Police".
And motorists should remember
to be careful when looking under
the hood while trying to assess a
vehicle problem. Engine parts can
be VERY hot, and can cause severe
burns.
Inexpensive items that are vital
to safety include:
Wiper Blades — we all take them
for granted, but wiper blades keep
the front, and in some cases back
Windshield, clear of rain or dirt, so
you can see where you are going.
And seeing where you are going,
and what is happening ahead and
behind you, is one of the keys to
safe driving. Car Care Canada
recommends switching blades
every six months, in the fall and
in the spring. The average cost of
a new set of wiper blades is less
than $10.
Headlights — darkness at night
causes you to have a reduced field
of vision, considerably reduced
contrast detection and difficulty in
recognizing colour. A brighter and
wider illumination of the road
leads to safer driving. A vehicle's
headlights, including high-beams,
play a significant role in keeping
your field of vision as large as
possible. In essence, the lighting
provided by headlights allows for
greater safety by making road-size
hazards more visible. Again,
headlights aren't considered
costly, the average cost for a
headlight bulb is $10.
Signal lights (including brake
lights and turn signals) — if other
drivers can anticipate your next
move because they see your
vehicle's brake lights and/or a turn
signal, then they can react
appropriately and you can help to
avoid any accidents.
The last safety reminder is for
everyone to ensure they /have a
properly equipped first aid or
emergency kit in their vehicle.
Temps change
tire pressure
(NC)—Tire pressure is very
important for fuel economy,
handling, safety and tire life. What
many people do not realize is that
tire pressure changes rapidly when
the temperature goes down. If the
temperature drops by 10° Celsius,
your tire lose about 7kPa (lpsi) in
pressure.
