D 2 ·The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday January 1, 2003 __________________________ » n t n ii n : i, s · o m I 1 1 , 1 ______________________________ Helpful tips for making auto insurance claims easier (NAPSA)-There's no need to stall when it comes to servicing your car. It's less challenging if you follow these basic maintenance tips: Maintain Fluids 1 . Washer fluid. Use a commercial windshield washer solvent. 2. Brake fluid. Most brake fluids absorb moisture, causing fluid deteriora tion and contamination over time. It's generally recommended that it be flushed during brake work. 3. Engine oil. Engine oil is generally changed once every three months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first. 4.Radiator/Engine Coolant/ Antifreeze. This should be changed according to your owner's manual. 5. Transmission fluid. Most vehicle manufacturers suggest changing this fluid every' 15.000-30.000 miles. 6. Power steering fluid. Low fluid can mean the loss of power steering. Most manufacturers don't have a scheduled maintenance for this fluid. Cheek Your Tires Spend a few minutes each month checking your tires: 1 . Inflate. Check your owner's manu al or inside the driver-side doorjamb for inflation guidelines specific to your car. Tires can lose one psi (pound per square inch) per month under normal condi tions. Use a tire gauge for an accurate reading. 2. Rotate. Feel the tread of your tires. If you feel high and low areas or very smooth areas, you may have irregular tread wear. Proper tire rotation, align ment and balancing will help your tires last longer and provide a smoother, safer ride. For maximum mileage, rotate tires every 5,000 miles. 3. Evaluate. Be on the lookout for damage to your tires. If your tire looks worn or damaged, take it to a service center and have it checked out immedi ately. Use Your Senses Trust yourself and what you see, smell and hear. 1 . Look. Watch for leaks under the car. or steam or smoke coming from the engine. Pay attention to dashboard warn ing lights. 2. Smell. Many fluids have their own unique odor. If you smell something unusual, you may have a leak. 3. Listen. Describe noises to your service technician as accurately as possi ble. Observe as many things as you can: when it's happening, how fast you're going, whether you're applying the brakes or gas, turning left or right, is the car hot or cold, etc. ANYTHINGYOUWANTYOU You got it!

Sealed-beam headlights come In only two shapes -- rectangular and round. Aside from the higher light output that halogens offer, the system allows auto designers more freedom, because they don't have to design around simple round, or square headlights. Instead, the bulb fits within a customdesigned reflector 'bucket.' Retaining ring turns clockwise to secure light to reflector assembly. O-ring seals out dirt and moisture Headlight bucket' (shown from the rear). The bulb is filled with gas under pressure The bulb is fragile and can explode if dropped Aside from being extremely hot, if the bulb end is handled, the fingerprints will cause the light to quickly burn out Depending on the system, the halogen bulb can contain multiple filaments -- for high and low beam Alignment slots line up with matching slots on the headlight bucket C h ry s le r S e b rin g C h ry s le r PT C ru is e r Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan J e e p G rand C h e ro ke e D odge D a k o ta Sealed-beam headlights Electrical socket On most remaining 2002 models choose: Nn GST and $1,000 off on your purchase before trade-in.
