It can become "hair - triggered" in time and release when a passing car causes the parked vehicle to sway. Releasing the brake should require a Arm effort. Safety checks on tires, foot brakes, steering, etc., have been necessary since the first single - cylinder runabout made its Ameri­ can debut before the turn of this century. Today, we have dual braking systems on all cars. If one system goes, you still have sufficient braking to bring your car ,, to a halt. Haeusler advises peri­ odic check of the brake fluid level. "When the brake warning light glows, it's not really a warning," he says. ' 'It means that one of your systems is not operating." He has some further ad­ vice on replacing brake fluid: "Before you check the fluid level, wipe the area around it to make certain no dirt enters the fluid chamber. Otherwise, it might have been better not to check it. Also, don't use fluid that hasn't been kept in an air tight con- taineer. Moisture destroys the fluid." Finally, the safety ex­ pert notes the growing popularity of sun roofs . and warns owners to make •• sure the roof is properly latched -- especially if vou don't wear seat belts.

"Nothing beats experience... and we have lots of it at McHenry Savings" AUGUSTINE (GUS) FREUND LOAN OFFICER "As a long-time McHenry businessman and banker-some 31 years.so far-I've learned a lot about our community, and how to serve our people best. The same goes for McHENRY SAVINGS, hor more than 20 years, we've been helping McHenry residents with their homes and with their financial future. McHenry's our home. That's why we say we're McHENRY PEOPLE HELPING McHENRY PEOPLE." Much of the safety equipment on your car was mandated by the Fed­ eral Government but it's up to you, the motorist, to make sure the devices continue to do their job. Except for some exer­ tion in fastening lap and shoulder belts, the safety features require little ef­ fort on your part. How­ ever, that doesn't mean that regular maintenance or inspection should be ignored. The Automotive Infor­ mation Council consulted one of the auto industry's pioneers in the vehicle safety area for his recom­ mendations. He is Roy Haeusler, who even has earned the plaudits of the industry's severest critics. Haeusler, who retired as a safety engineer, was wear­ ing belts long before they became the law of the highway and always wears a safety helmet. Seat and shoulder belts are one area you don't have to be concerned about. "The belts on your car are good for the life of the car," Haeusler says. The webbing has been subjected to prolonged pe­ riods of artificial radia­ tion to determine how they resist brilliant sun­ light. The belts withstood all tests." In the past year, seat belts used in the south­ western part of the coun­ try for many years were removed for inspection. T h e y p a s s e d f e d e r a l standards by a wide mar­ gin. It's still a good idea to check the belt retractors, according to Haeusler. He cautions: "You can't check shoul­ der belts on newer cars by tugging at them. You have to slam the brakes and that should lock the belt. A speed of 15 to 20 miles an hour would be enough for the test -- but be sure nobody is driving in back of you.M He warned that seat b e l t s w i t h r e t r a c t o r s should be examined to determine whether addi­ tional webbing can be pulled while .the belt is being worn. Some other safety de­ vice tips: Steering column Energy absorbing steering column: Even the slightest vertical movement in the column calls for a service check. Two small, hidden capsules hold the column rigid, but give way in the event of a crash.

Head rest Head rest: Haeusler con­ cedes this device has gen­ erated controversy ^ over its merits but he favors it and urges front seat pas­ sengers to raise the head rest to the proper height. If the head rest should come down when the car is driven over a bump or a railroad track, it obvi­ ously needs tightening. Doors Door latehes: Their job is to keep the passengers from being thrown from the car in the event of a collision. Statistics prove the ch&nces for survival are greater if the passen­ ger remains in the car. Latches should keep the door closed even when the lock button is "up." Some latches, in time, become "hair-triggered" and even a slight bump against thp door or the door handle can cause the door to fly open. The handle or lever should move at least a quarter of an inch before it releases the latch and opens the door. Door locks i-^The lock buttons can become faulty and there may be times when you think the door is locked, but it isnt. This is particularly true of pow­ er door locks. Occasionally, check the doors on the outside to make certain they lock properly. Seats Seat latches: There are safety standards on seat strength but the latching mechanism should keep them firmly in place -- enough to hold fast in a 30 - mile - an - hour crash. Obviously, it can't be test­ ed too easily. If you can move the seat by applying body pressure, it isn't latching and is dangerous if the car is moving. at the Transom past.
