Use checklist wit!' new ear
The day you take delivery of your new car
is always a special one. Unfortunately,
many people temporarily blinded by "new
car fever" forget to look the car over before
driving it home.
Many misunderstandings could be avoid-
ed, according to automotive specialists at
General Motors, if the new car buyer spent a
few minutes examining his or her new car
and asking any questions before driving off
the lot.
Here are some helpful tips for taking
delivery of your new car:
®Avoid picking up your car in the evening
if possible. It's much easier to give a car a
thorough inspection in the daylight.
•Check all the options you ordered by
comparing the window sticker, the bill of
sale and the vehicle itself. It's easier to cor-
m
rect the problem then rather than months
later.
eCars can sometimes be damaged by acci-
dent, theft or vandalism while in transit to
the dealership. While most transit damage
will be spotted and corrected by the dea ,r
before you pick up the car, it's a good idea to
carefully inspect the paint, trim and body.
Make sure all doors, hood and trunk lid line
up properly and open and close easily.
•Check the car's interior to be sure that
upholstery and trim all fit correctly. While
you're sitting in the car, get out the owner's
manual and look it over for the placement
and function of all knobs and buttons. Be
sure to read the manual cover to cover once
at home, noting all warranty information
and maintenance schedules.

Compression test The colinpres n- in all
of the engine's cylinders should.b within 20
percent of the highest reading in any
cylinder. You must have good compression
in order to attain a good tune-up.
Spark plugs. Spark plugs should be chang-
ed regularly in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendation. Worn
spark plugs can cause hard starting and
misfiring. Every time a spark plug misfires,
fuel is wasted. It actually pays- to change
spark plugs.

tive, they can cause misfiring.

amined to make sure it is reasonably clean,

filter, PCV valve, heatriser valve and air
cleaner preheat system.
Final check-up. During the final check,
the engine is started, the basic timing is set,
and the carburetor is adjusted for proper
air -fuel mixture and engine idling speed.
