Tips Given By
Auto Engineers
Detroit '(U.R) With wintry
weather back again,' here are
some tips from automotive en
gineers that might make winter
driving a bit easier:
" A bag of sand in the car trunk,
to sprinkle under the rear wheels
for traction, might mean the dif
ference between getting stuck
and getting home. The sand in
the trunk also adds weight to
the rear of the car, improving
traction.
- Motorists who must park their
cars in the open can save them
selves work by getting a couple
of pieces of cardboard. The card
boards, tucked under windshield
wipers, will insure clear glass
against freezing rain or snow
when a motorist is ready to use
the car.
An old windshild wiper blade,
kept in the glove compartment,
will come in useful on rare
occasions when cold weather
moisture is heavy and causes
fogging on the inside of the car.
The blade will keep the wind
shield glass clean longer than
the palm of a driver's hand.
On sub-freezing days, drivers
shouldn't ' add water to their
batteries unless they plan to go
farther than just a few blocks
afterwards. Until the water
mixes thoroughly with the bat
tery acid, it may freeze and
damage the battery.
One good trick to . thaw a
frozen door lock is to hold a
lighted match or the flame of
a cigarette lighter to the car
key. The heated key will then
slip into the lock easily.
If a motorists get caught in a
sudden cold snap without suf
ficient anti-freeze, he can save
his radiator by slipping a large
cardboard or flattened paper
shopping bag in front of the
radiator until he reaches his
garage for servicing.
When a sharp dip in tempera
ture is due overnights a car
owner can guard against a frozen
radiator by hanging a lighted
electric bulb under the hood of
his car and draping a blanket
over the radiator.
