fuel reserve OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE 1998 Owners 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 a while.
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.

Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it
may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label
is inside
the trunk lid. The label 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 you can carry. This
includes the weight
of all occupants, cargo and all
nonfactory-installed options.
