h e e l . When you
run
the engine, make it go

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 uncomfortable
3m 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
everyhalf hour or
so
until help comes.

may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label,
found in the glove compartment, tells you the proper
size, speed rating and recornended inflation pressures

for the tires on your vehicle. It also gives you important
information 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
nonfactory-installed options.
