Teaching to the new driver the sure operations of a vehicle is crucial. But sometimes the safety darkens other considerations, like the importance that have the routine services for the vehicle.
“ Many people ignore the fact that a vehicle badly elegant is a safety risk not alone for adolescent drivers, but also for those that walk at the same time in the streets”, showed John Nielsen, the director of the network of repair of motorcars of the Association of Motoring of the United States (AAA, for his initials in English).

His adolescent received his license, but: really is it ready to seize way?

“ And to drive with worn-out components of the vehicle not only increases the possibilities of an accident but it reduces also the fuel economy”, he told.
Two orders
For that reason, before delivering the keys to his young driver, make sure that it should be conscious of at least two operations of maintenance that everything conductive one should practise:
1. - Pressure of the rims. - The adolescent drivers should know that to inflate appropriately each of the tires is fundamental for the sure operation of a vehicle. A flat tire makes the maneuvers difficult and can become overheated and exploit.
The suitable pressures of inflated for the tire can be in the motor manual or in the tag of information of the tire that normally is aside of the door of the driver.
Teach him to his son or adolescent friend to check the pressure when the tires are cold. Such is the case of the vehicles that have not been handled in at least three hours. Use a quality gage and not of that it is adhered to the air hoses.
2. - Level of Oil in the engine. - To Teach his adolescent to support a suitable oil level in the engine is the most important thing that you can do to help to extend the life of the engine of his vehicle. If an adolescent informed evil allows the level of the oil to go down too much, the result can be an overheating, an increasing and enclosed wear a catastrophic flaw of the engine, which can be of extreme danger in the highways under certain circumstances.
The adolescents, men and women, also need to understand the importance of taking his vehicle to a reliable repairs workshop, as we mention in a previous edition of this supplement. The establishments recommended by AAA fulfill with rigorous rules for quality satisfaction the client. To find one in his area visit AAA.com/Repair.

The Senate decided by means of a majority voting to grant a taxes clipping to the buyers of new cars. The approval for 72 affirmative votes and 26 in against ocurrió in moments in which the president Barack Obama had revealed the press that was happening some nights without being able to sleep, worried by the economy, and that it would try to exclude provisions of “buying American products” in the law initiative to avoid a trade war.
The taxes clipping to the buyers of new cars might mean a saving of $ 1,500 in a model valued for $ 25.000 or almost 6 per cent of the entire value.
The democratic senator Barbara Mikulski, of Maryland, headed the efforts that turned out to be successful to allow many buyers to request the return of the tax that they paid for the buy of his new cars and of the payments of interests to his car loans, when they realize his tax returns on his income.
The legislator indicated that the plan would help to the revival of the struck motor-car industry and that it would create new jobs in a period in which the economy has been losing work places to an intensive rhythm.
“ I believe that we can help taking the consumers to the exhibition rooms (and sale of cars) ”, he added.
The initiative was included inside the law of economic stimuli, the fundamental part of the plan of economic recovery of the government of the president Obama.
The above mentioned initiative was approved by both legislative cameras (House of Representatives and Senate), last month.

Self-propelled Ford Motor announced That an intelligent, so called technology should Activate Park Assist, which it will be allowed the vehicles to park in parallel for his account, avoiding rayons and blows.
The technology there will be incorporated like an option into the sedan Lincoln MKS of 2010 and into new Lincoln MKT for seven passengers.
Ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear of the vehicle get together with an electrical power steering frill to guide it to a parking space. For it, it will be enough to oppress a button without need to touch the frill, since the sensors will direct the motorcar in the space needed for the parking.
Ford is not the company first in introducing motorcars that practically are parked by his account. Motive Lexus de Toyota Corp. has a parking system with included video camera that can calculate if a vehicle is provided with sufficient space in a place in particular.
But, according to Mark Fields, Ford's president for the United States, the technology of the company is easier to use and it operates also when it is necessary to park in a track in descent, in contrast to the systems of the competition.
“ This function, to the touch of a button, will be much surer of using and less intimidante”, told Fields.
But the driver still will need to operate on the transmission and the pedals of the brake and of the starter, while a visual or audible interface will announce to him the proximity of other vehicles, objects and persons. Anyhow, the driver will not need to touch in any moment the electrical power steering frill.
The sensors system also detects blind spots and can inform the driver with a signs light if a vehicle approaches.
The company plans to place the system in almost 90 per cent of his motor Ford, Lincoln and Mercury of 2012 who have the electrical power steering frill.
Between the manufacturers of motorcars of Detroit, Ford seems to be in better conditions to face the vertiginous fall in the sales of vehicles. Inclusive he announced that he does not need federal loans to survive, in contrast to General Motors and Chrysler.
Fields warned that the prices of the new models are not available.
Another advantage. - The new system also helps to improve the fuel economy up to 5 per cent, while it reduces the pollutant emission (CO) and intensifies the yield.
The Active Park Assist presents numerous advantages on his competitors since it needs a minor interaction of the driver, reduces the risk of selecting a space to park too small and also it is employed at parking situations in earring, in contrast to other rival systems.
