KNOW YOUR CAR.
The new owner of a car, whether it
be a new one or a used one, is compelled at once—before he can attempt to drive it—to familiarise himself (or herself) with the controls. But, having done so, and having applied the knowledge gained to the actual driving of the car, a considerable proportion, probably the majority, of owners give little or no thought for a while to the almost equally important aspect of car ownership, upkeep, processes, and facilities.
They may find out by observation or inquiry how and where the petrol tank and the engine sump are re!plenished, but those are often the only matters unconcerned with driving in which interest is displavvl— until necessity compels. Briefly stated, the suggestion $is that an hour or so should be devoted at the first opportunity to a study'& the instruction manual with the car^ at hand, so that the parts referred to! can be definitely located and the routine processes clearly understood.
