FALLCAR CARE

(NewsUSA) - As the leaves fall and the cold weather approaches, ev-eryone begins to feel a little football fever. Just like the greatest coaches check their starting line-ups each year, make sure that your vehicle’s most important parts and systems aren’t corroded, empty, deflated or worn out. With kick-off around the corner, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers the following tips to ensure your vehicle is ready for fall after a long, hot summer.

Run some drills• Remember to have your belts,

hoses, air filters, windshield wipers, lights, fluids, and battery cables and terminals all checked by a profession-al before the fall season begins.

• Fall weather can be wet and drea-ry. One way to prepare your vehicle for the wet weather is to check the tire treads with the “penny test.” Insert a penny in the tread, Lincoln’s head down. If you can see the top of Lin-coln’s head, the tread is worn and the tire probably needs to be replaced.

• Make sure to have your tires rotated according to the schedule in your vehicle’s maintenance guide -- usually every 5,000 miles. Regular rotation will even out the wear pat-terns on your tires.

Hydrate• Check your vehicle’s fluid levels,

including transmission, brake, power steering, windshield washer fluids and coolant to make sure they’re properly filled.

Get some air• You can’t tell if a tire needs air

just by looking at it. The only sure-fire way to determine if your tire needs air is with a tire gauge. The tire could be six to 10 PSI under-inflated and still look fine.

Having a creative playbook is a must for any successful football team, but having a well-maintained vehicle is a must for any driver. So blitz the bad weather, and make sure your car is well equipped for this fall!

(NewsUSA) - Many drivers don’t know what the “check engine” or “service en-gine soon” warning light on the instrument panel really means. Understanding the purpose of this light, and knowing what actions to take when it comes on, can help you nip problems in the bud -- and possi-bly prevent major damage.

An illuminated “check engine” light is telling you the engine control computer has detected a problem that is causing the vehicle to produce excessive exhaust emis-sions. Sometimes the light will be accom-panied by noticeable performance prob-lems, such as an engine miss or hesitation, but other times the vehicle will appear to operate normally. Common failures that can trigger a “check engine” light include:

• Failed engine-control components such as an oxygen, coolant temperature, MAP (manifold absolute pressure) or airflow sensor.

• Engine misfires from faulty sparkplugs,

sparkplug wires, ignition components, fuel injectors or other fuel system parts.

• Emission-control failures such as loose or cracked vacuum hoses, a loose or miss-ing gas cap or a defective EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve.

How you should react to a “check en-gine” light depends on how the light behaves. If the light comes on for a little while and then goes out, you may have had a momentary problem in the system. The light goes out when the problem stops, but the computer could have stored a diagnostic trouble code in its memory. If the light does not recur, it can be ignored. However, if the light comes and goes inter-mittently, take the vehicle in for a checkup.

If the light comes on and stays on, the car has an ongoing problem. While that problem may not be severe, it will nega-tively impact your car’s performance, gas mileage and exhaust emissions. Take your vehicle to a repair shop as soon as possible

for further diagnosis.If the “check engine” light begins to flash

on and off, a severe problem is causing the catalytic converter to overheat. This can destroy the converter and possibly even start a fire.

If your repair shop is nearby, drive there immediately. If the shop is some distance away, shut off the car and call for assis-tance. Always have the cause of a flash-ing “check engine” light investigated right away to prevent damage to important components that can greatly increase the cost of repairs.

AAA Approved Auto Repair facilities can diagnose “check engine” light problems and provide a full range of vehicle mainte-nance and repair services. Approved Auto Repair shops meet AAA’s high standards for customer care and technical proficiency. To locate a shop near you, look for the AAA Approved Auto Repair logo or visit www.AAA.com/repair.

(NewsUSA) - When a chill is in the air and clutter is in the garage, your car is often forced out in the cold.

“Like any other meaningful and valuable item in our life, cars need protection,” said Alan Taylor of Car & Driver Radio. “I’m often asked how people can make their cars last longer, and it’s not always just about the mechanics, it is also about protec-tion and shelter. I tell them to get their car in their garage.”

Whether its colors are fading or it’s taking even longer to “warm” the car on those chilly winter morn-ings, Mother Nature’s elements take their toll on your car. As the mercury drops, now is the time to get the car back in the garage.

Rakes and shovels, gardening pots, tools, golf clubs, basketballs, footballs and other sporting equipment lit-ter most garages, leaving little to no space to move within, let alone park a car.

“Getting the car in the garage starts with getting the garage in order,” says do-it-yourself expert Karl Champley. Champley points out that the first step to organizing the garage and getting the car back inside requires lifting the junk up off the floor and organizing

it on the walls. The walls are storage space too often left unused. Plus, many people leave items on the floor, loosely stacked against the walls with no support, leaving the chance that if you bump them getting in or out of the car, they may fall onto the car and scratch it or cause other damage.

To clear the mess, get the car inside, and avoid damaging the car when it’s in its proper home -- the garage -- Champley suggests the fol-lowing tips:

• From Garage Floor Sprawl to On the Wall. Clear every inch of floor space to make it clutter-free. Products are available from companies like Gladiator GarageWorks, which offers modular hooks, shelving and storage cabinets that allow you to organize what you have on the wall. You can even hang your bike, wheel barrow and ladders to clear additional floor space and prevent damage to the car when parked in the garage.

• Organize the Place with Tailored Space. Once you know what needs to go up on the wall, it’s time to create zones for your sports equipment, your workshop projects, your gardening center or other hobbies you’re pas-sionate about. Items are not only off

the floor but in a familiar place every time you need something.

• To Keep It Straight, You Must Create. As you accumulate more and more keepsakes or other materials that need a home in the garage, get creative. Use organization tools like

507-437-6661USA’s 2nd Oldest Honda Dealer!

(NewsUSA) - The economic recession continues, and many Americans plan on driving less to save on gas. What they don’t know is that doing so can save them on more than just gas money.

According to a national survey that polled more than 5,000 drivers, 30 percent of drivers plan to drive less in the next year. However, 93 percent had never heard of pay-as-you-go auto insurance. After learning more about pay-as-you-go plans, 35 per-cent of drivers said that they would enroll if given the option.

What is pay-as-you-go auto insurance? It’s an af-fordable insurance option that rewards people who drive less.

For example, GMAC Insurance’s Low-Mileage

Discount, available in 35 states, offers personalized insurance discounts without compromising cover-age. Eligible customers with active OnStar sub-scriptions can save up to 54 percent on their auto insurance premiums based on the number of miles driven. Using mileage-based insurance discount tiers, those who drive less than 15,000 miles annu-ally are eligible for the Low-Mileage Discount.

Of course, driving less reaps many benefits. People who drive 15,000 miles or fewer per year save money on general transportation costs, like gasoline, maintenance and general wear and tear.

Drivers want to spend less time behind the wheel to save money and reduce their environmental

impact, and pay-as-you-go insurance plans offer an extra incentive for doing so. According to the Brookings Institution, if every American driver had a pay-as-you-go insurance plan, nearly two out of every three households would receive an annual average discount of $270 per car.

The Federal Highway Administration reports that Americans have traveled 112 billion fewer miles in the past few months. It stands to reason that many Americans can save with pay-as-you-go auto insurance.

Find Extra Savings By Driving Less

(NewsUSA) - Beginning with the 2008 model year, tire pressure moni-toring systems (TPMS) are now stan-dard on all new cars in the United States, but many drivers don’t know about them. Often, drivers are first introduced to TPMS when the icon on their dashboard illuminates, signaling that the air pressure in one or more tires is low -- potentially dangerously low.

On average, underinflated tires are responsible for nearly 700 vehicle crashes every day. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that, when all passenger vehicles are equipped with TPMS, the number of annual motor vehicle crash fatalities will decrease by about 120, and the annual number of injuries due to motor vehicle crashes will decrease by about 8,500.

To help raise awareness about TPMS and the importance of proper tire pressure, Schrader, the pioneer and leading manufacturer of tire pressure monitoring systems, has created TPMSMadeSimple.com. This comprehensive site offers drivers key facts about TPMS, including how it enhances vehicle safety and why it is now mandatory on all U.S. vehicles. In addition to safety information, drivers can also find out how much money they can save with properly inflated tires and how proper inflation

helps the environment.If your car is equipped with TPMS,

the light will come on when one or more of your tires are at least 25 percent below the recommended in-flation pressure. When this happens, take caution and:

• Find a safe place to pull off to check your tire pressure. Keep a tire gauge with your set of emergency items in your vehicle.

• If the light comes on while driv-ing at highway speed, immediately grab hold of the steering wheel with both hands in case you are experi-encing a blow-out (rapid deflation) scenario. Slowly decelerate to a safe speed and find a safe place to pull off to check your tire pressure.

• Once checked, if the tires all ap-pear normal, proceed with caution to have your tire pressure checked and filled to the proper tire pressure. This can be done at a gas station or tire service center.

• If needed, have the problem tire or tires and the TPMS system serviced at your nearest tire service center.

The TPMS light should go off within several minutes of driving on the repaired or re-inflated tires.

Visit TPMSMadeSimple.com for more information about TPMS and the importance and benefits of maintain-ing proper tire pressure.
