Routine checks can
prevent '.problems
A motorist should make
many routing checks of the
"small things" that are
important too. See that all
lights, turn signals and
emergency flashers are
working properly, headlamps
and other fights free of dirt,
ice and snow for greater
visibility, Make certain
windshield wiper blades are
in working order and use a
cleaning fluid if they're dirty;
look under the hood for a
.check of the windshield
washer fluid container, and
keep the level up (adding
only an anti-freeze solution
in winter). Ensure the heater
and defroster are working
correctly - the latter is a
necessity for keeping the
.windshield clear, so check
the outlet vents for any
obstructions,.
Keep the gas
tank as full as possible to
avoid condensation and
possible freezing of the gas
line.
You should assemble and
carry a number of tools and
supplies in your trunk during
winter. Among the essentials
is a shovel', or ,sturdy spade
with a hard, sharp blade;
you'll need this tool, not only
to shovel your wheels free of
snow, but to chop and
"corrugate" ice under the
wheels so they can obtain a
grip. Carry a bag of dry sand
or pieces of carpet (or similar
'fabric); sand sprinkled under
and ahead of rear wheels, or
carpet laid down in those
areas, will provide a grip for
wheels on ice of hard-packed
wet snow.
Battery jumper cables are
useful, should you .be unable
to start and are offered help
from a neighbour or passing
motorist. The cables boost
your battery into action from
the battery of the operating
car. Be sure to read your
owner's manual for
instructions on how to hook
up to a booster battery. And
be careful in connecting
cables; sparks can be
dangerous around batteries.
What else for the trunk? A
strong rope or chain will
permit you to get a tow from
another car. ' Carry flares
(they're inexpensive) so that,
if stopped on a roadway, you
can light them and warn'
other, motorists. A flashlight
is handy too for this purpose
(ideally, one with a red-
flasher light). In assembling
your kit, don't forget a sturdy
ice scraper and snow brush,
a dry cloth, extra supplies of
windshield washer solution,
perhaps a de-misting spray
for windows and a spray can
of de-icer solution for badly
iced windows.
Many drivers in areas of
severe cold and snow will
add several more items to the
list: extra gloves, snow
boots, a blanket, even
candles and chocolate bars
(for warmth and energy in a
real emergency).
