PLANNING AHEAD IS KEY. DON’T FORGET THESE MUST-DOS FOR SMOOTH AND HAPPY TRAVELS.

not driving with the task of keeping it on him or her at all times. No one likes a lockout!


GRAB A MAP. Old-school rules for brainstorming


routes and following along. Plus, you don’t need a good mobile connection.


SCREEN THE SUN. Prevent surprise car-ride sunburns


with sunblock, sunglasses, hats and/or window-mount sunshades.


SAVE MONEY ON GAS


CHILL OUT ON THE A/C. Cool off by rolling down your windows when you initially start the vehicle


and when you drive at lower speeds or when the temperature and humidity are low.


DRIVE SENSIBLY. Speeding, rapid acceleration, tail-


gating and unnecessary braking are dangerous and wasteful. Togeth- er, they can lower fuel economy by more than 30 percent. At highway speeds, drive the speed limit and, if traffic and weather permit, use your cruise control.


PROPERLY INFLATE TIRES. Use the psi listed on the driver-side doorjamb, not what’s on the tire. Every 1 psi makes a difference.


ON-THE-ROAD SAFETY FOR PETS


KEEP THE FURRIEST MEMBER OF THE FAMILY SAFE ON YOUR PET-FRIENDLY ADVENTURE.


KENNEL UP The safest way for an animal to travel is in a roomy kennel anchored to the vehicle. According to the Humane Society, dog restraints and seat belts don’t provide crash protection.
