What should I do if my car starts to overheat?

This is a very serious problem – if your car overheats for too long, you can damage your engine. As soon as possible, find a safe place to pull off the road and shut the engine off! Do not attempt to check the fluid level in the radiator as it can burn you. The best thing to do is have your car towed to a repair shop.

Guardian Interlock

How the Program Works

The program starts when an offender is sentenced to have a Guardian Interlock Device installed on his or her vehicle. The Guardian Interlock Device is a breath analyzer that is attached to the ignition system of the vehicle. Each time a participant starts the car, he or she must first blow into the unit.

The unit determines if the breath alcohol level is above or below a preset legal limit. If it is below this limit, the participant may start the car. If it is above the limit, the unit prevents the vehicle from starting.

Tip - Check Engine or Service Engine Soon

What does it mean if my "check engine" or "service engine soon" light comes on?

There are many sensors and computerized components that manage your vehicle’s engine performance and emissions. When one of these fails, the "check engine" light is illuminated. Although your car may seem to run fine, it is important to have the issue addressed to prevent long-term problems.

Tip - Timing belt

Is it really necessary to replace my timing belt at the recommended interval?

YES. The failure of a timing belt in many cars can result in major engine damage. The cost of repairing an engine with a broken timing belt is much greater than the cost of a timing belt replacement.

Tip

How often should I rotate my tires?

Your tires should be rotated every other oil change, or every 6000 miles. Neglecting to rotate tires is a major cause of premature tire wear
