Put Car on `I -C®'
Canadian Council Advise
If you've put off having your car serviced for cold
weather, let the word ICE serve as a reminder. I, C and E
are the initials for the Ignition, Cooling, and Electrical sys-
tems, the three main factors affecting your car's depend-
ability .when temperatures drop.
According to Car Care Council of Canada, these are the
points that should get attention:
IGNITION SYSTEM — YOU
may be well advised to in-
vest in a tune-up if you're
nearing the -10,000 mile
mark„ since the last time
that work was done. This
usually involves replace-
ment of distributor points,
condenser, and rotor plus
spark plugs (and sometimes
wiring) . The service in-
cludes adjustment of igni-
tion timing, idle speed and
automatic choke.
• • •
COOLING SYSTEM—There's
more to cooling system
maintenance than flushing
the radiator and replacing
the anti -freeze. The system
should be pressure tested
for potential leaks. Hoses
and belts should be exam-
ined and replaced as neces-
sary.
The thermostat, which
maintains engine tempera-
ture within specified limits,
should be checked, too. If
it's not working properly
you could have either` an
„overheating engine or re-
duced . engine efficiency. A
faultyi thermostat also can
cause your car's heater to
lose its effectiveness.
* * *
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM—That
sickening "click -click" that
signifies a dead battery may
be nothing more than a.cor-
roded connection creating
an abnormal resistance in
your starting circuit. Or it
could be a problem in your
car's alternator or voltage
regulator.
Then again, it could be
the battery itself. A bat-
tery's average life is from 26
to 36 months. To play it safe,
have your car's charging
circuit, battery and connec-
tions checked while you are
in command of the situa-
tion.
