Just "fillin' it up" at the gas station isn't enough.
Drivers need to keep their cars fully maintained-from plugs and pumps to tires and wires.
Program 3 surveys possible mechanical problems and emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance.
One sure fire way to reduce the risk of car trouble is by really getting to
know your car. This includes learning how it works and what it needs to
keep going. Good maintenance is a 3,000 mile interval oil change which
includes checking things like fluids/filters, wiper blades, tire tread and
condition.
Tires must be properly inflated for safety and long wear. No matter how
well you maintain them, though, your tires can still have a blowout.
Learn how to handle one safely as well as how to change the tire.
Different cars have different kinds of brakes and on a slick road they will
perform differently.
Also addressed is how to handle emergencies like how jump starting a car
and what to do when your engine stalls or is overheated.
