Wouldn't skid you To the motorist who lives in cold, snowy winter weather, getting a car out of a skid is hardly more than a routine annoyance. However, motorists used to driving on normally dry pavements can run into problems should they be traveling in frigid areas or be confronted by a freak snow storm at home. Therefore, the Rubber Association of Canada shares its experience in safe driving on bad roads. With the reminder that stopping on a wet road can take four times the normal distance as on a dry road, the association urges re- duced speeds. Also dis- tance between your car and the one in front should be doubled. On starting out and with no cars around, test the surface by braking the car lightly. When braking, pump the pedal, bringing the car to a gradual stop. Jamming on the brakes is likely to lock the wheels and put the car into a skid. Should you start to enter a skid, take your foot off the gas pedal, stay off the brakes and steer in the direction of the skid. When the car is straightening out, pump the brakes gen- tly to slow down. The association offers these tire care tips to help avoid trouble. Keep the tires inflated properly. Un- equal pressure in the front tires promotes instability on bad roads. Another important rea- son to check tires fre- quently in cold weather is that tire pressure drops approximately one pound for every 10° drop in tem- perature. New good but not Electronic ignition sys- tems, standard equipment on most late model cars, were designed to help keep emissions low. But they still require periodic main- tenance, according to Champion Spark Plug Company. Largely due to require- ments stemming from emissions control, the car makers began using the electronic ignition systems to provide more voltage to fire a wider-gapped spr.rk plug. The new systems elimi- nate breaker points and condensers and replace them with magnetic com- ponents that trigger the system for secondary volt- age. However, many of the components of the elec- tronic system are the same as in convenUonal igni- tions and maintenance re- quirements are not too dissimilar, Champion says. The condition of the coil, dlstribu~r cap and rotor must still be check- ed. Correct timing is criti- cal to proper operation. Spark plugs are still sub- ject to fouling from con- taminent present in the combustion process such as carbon, calcium, bar- ium, etc. And ignition wir- ing can still deteriorate or suffer damage, causing misfire. Therefore, an annual ignition system service is still recommended by Champion, electronic sys- tem or not.
