All GM vehicles, including the new Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy sport-util- ity vehicles, benefit from GM’s expertise. Since state-of-the-art safe- ty features are high on the lists of compact sport utility customers, the 1995 Blazer and Jimmy offer a compre- hensive safety package. This systematic approach to safety emphasizes crash avoidance and minimizes the consequences of unavoidable collisions. Safety features in the all- new Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy include: * Standard 4-wheel anti- lock brakes to help prevent wheel lock-up during hard braking situations and under hazardous driving condi- tions, helping the driver maintain control even on slippery surfaces. « Standard driver-side air bag, designed for use with safety belts, restrains driver in the event of a moderate or sever frontal impact. ¢ Reinforced safety cage, including side- guard door beams, helps protect the passenger compartment with strong structural components. + Front and rear crush zones designed to absorb energy during a crash in a controlled manner. « A new LED (light-emit- ting diode) centre high- mounted stop lamp illuminates when brake is applied to signal drivers behind the vehicle that it’s slowing or stopping. + New standard front and rear stabilizer bars reduce body roll during hard cor- Winter driving tips (NC) - The familiar slogan that accompanies MICHELIN advertising, “BECAUSE SO MUCH IS RIDING ON YOUR TIRES”, reflects the company’s concern for the safety of its customers and their families. Nowhere is that safety so threatened than in sever weather situations that can come up suddenly. Reacting to such dangerous highway conditions often calls for a different set of behaviours tHan one would formally practice at home or at work. The best protection is to keep your car in constant state of preparedness. Here are a few preventive and safe- ty hints to help you with your winter driving: + Have your car winterized before winter storm season Starts. + Have the right tires for the driving conditions common to your area. Your MICHE- LIN dealer can help you with your choice. * Keep the car’s gas tank full for emergency use and to keep the fuel line from freezing. ¢ Inventory and replace your car’s stock of emer- gency supplies. When driving: + Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the car in front. ¢ Choose your speed sensibly. Brake carefully. « Never trust the pavement further than you can see. « Check tire pressures more frequently in winter, and maintain proper infla- tion pressures to keep your tires working to the best of their ability. - ICBC Claims Handled Promptly - Complete Auto Body Repairs - Custom Painting - Factory Paint Matching - Windowshield Replacement * Stay out of skids by antic- ipating. Skidding usually occurs when negotiating a curve. Stay out of trouble by not accelerating, braking, or steering too sharply. + If you get stuck. DO NOT rey the engine high in hopes of getting clear. Especially with an automatic transmis- sion, this can result in spin- ning the tire beyond its speed capability and causing it to disintegrate. Remove any packed snow “from under the Car. Press gen- tly on the accelerator to avoid wheelspin. Always stand well clear of a spinning wheel. The best way to get out is to rock the car back and forth, always respecting the recom- mendations set by the car manufacturer. And if you do get stuck in a winter storm... ¢ Stay in the car. Do not attempt to walk out of the storm unless you can see a definite safe haven at a rea- sonable distance. ¢ Leave your dome light on at night.
