HIGmAY HITNOSIS
Is thh Actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it just
plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lack
of
awareness, or whatever.
There is something about an easy stretch
of road with the same scenery,
along with the hum
of the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and
the rush
of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy. Don’t
let it happen to you!
If it does, your vehicle can leave the road in less than
a second, and you could crash and be injured.
What can you do about highway hypnosis? First, be aware that it can
happen.
Then here are some tips:
Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a comfortably cool
interior.
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to the sides. Check
your rearview mirrors and your instruments frequently.
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service, or parking area
and take a nap, get some exercise, or both. For safety, treat drowsiness
on the highway as an emergency.

you can use
SAE 5W-30 if it's going to be colder than 60°F (16OC)
before your next oil change. When it's
very cold, you should use SAE
5W-30. These numbers on an oil container show its viscosity, or thickness.

Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted
surface
of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish,
abrasive cleaners or abrasive cleaning brushes on them because you could
damage this coating. After rinsing thoroughly, a wax may be applied.
I
Don’t use an automatic vehicle wash that has hard silicon
carbide cleaning brushes. These brushes can take
off the
protective coating.
WEATHERSTRlpS
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last longer, seal better,
and not stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth at least
every
six months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent
application may be required. (See “Recommended Fluids
& Lubricants”
in the Index.)
NOTICE:
Excessive amounts of grease may transfer onto clothing. Use a
light coating and wipe thoroughly after each application
SHEETMETAL DAlMAGE
If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the
body repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material to the parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection.
FOREIGN M!ATERL.IL
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree
sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, and other
foreign matter can damage your vehicle’s finish
if they remain on painted
