Buick 1995 Automobile User Manual


 
Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves
fuel. When you run the engine, make it go
a
little faster
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
from 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
every half hour or
so
until help comes.

INFORMATION
Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight
it
may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label
found on the rear edge
of
the driver's door tells you the
proper size, speed rating and recommended 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.
