Run
your
engine 'only
as
long'as you must.
This
saves
fuel. When you run the engine,
make
it go
a
little faster
than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. This
uses less fuel for the-heat that you get
and
it keeps the
battery charged.
You will
need a well-charged battery to
restart the vehicle, and.possibly.for signaling later on
with your headlamps. Let-the heater
run
for awhile.
Then, shut'the ,engine off 'and close the window almost
all the way to preserve the heat.
Start
the engine again
and
repeat this only when you feel really uncornfortable
from the cold. But do it as little as possible. Preserve the
fuel as long as you can. To help keep
warm,
you can get
out of the vehicle and do some
fairly
vigorous exercises
every half hour or
so
until help comes.

may properly
carry.
The Tire-Loading Information label
found
on
the driver's door tells you the proper size,
speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for
the tires on your vehicle. It also gives you important
infomation about the number of people that can be in
your vehicle and
the
total weight that you can carry.
This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight
and
includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and all
options not installed in
