16 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, March 13, 1990 RE EER SE a3 RRL le SS a Rs TAKE THE HEAT OUT OF SUMMER DRIVING! Since it is often difficult to know when your car needs attention, the following sug- gestions will aid you in knowing what needs to be done to your auto and when to do it. Watch to see if your engine is hard to start, uses gas excessively, is sluggish, smokes or is excessively noisy. Be sure that your cooling system is in good condition. The advent of more hot weather could bring about the failure of a hose, belt or other components. How long has it been since your antifreeze /coolant has been tested? How about the condition of your tires? Heavy loads at high speeds on hot surfaces are hard on tires. To avoid failure, make sure tires have plenty of tread and are properly inflated. How's your 0il? Oil is not only a lubricant, it is a coolant as well. And clean, well filtered oil will help your engine survive the heat.

Does it slip when you shift gears? Is it noisy? Does it shift erratically? For those who tow a trailer, it is especially vital for your transmission to be in the best working order possible. Be sure that brakes stop evenly, and are not making any "funny" noises. Watch to see if that lights are working and that they are focused correctly. Also check turning signals and windshield wipers for smearing or streaking. Even if your car is in top condition, safeguarding it from summer heat is very important. The most com- mon complaint from sum- mer drivers is that the heat affects the car's radiator, causing it to boil over. However, automotive ex- perts believe that heat can affect the entire car, not just the coolant in the radiator. Tires that are ""over- heated" can blow out or shred if the recommended air pressure is not main- tained. Strong sunlight combined with pollutants and salt can damage a car's finish. Washing your car regularly is the best way to combat this problem. Keeping your car in the best condition possible with regular checkups is the best way to assure a car's longevity and the best way for you to enjoy a spring and summer of safe, happy driving.
