For many of us, it’s the season we remote-start our vehicle and idle the engine to warm it up, sometimes for many long minutes.  \nDid you know that this action, repeated daily, is harmful to the environment? Not to mention the role it plays in contributing to smog, climate change and acid rain….  \nThe advantages of short-idling an engine  \n• it reduces gas consumption;  \n• it saves money;  \n• it reduces engine wear;  \n• it also protects public health, because your vehicle is not emitting carbon dioxide (CO2), the principal greenhouse gas involved in climate change.  \nA few tips  \n1 After you start the vehicle, avoid accelerating quickly  \n2  \n3 4  \nduring the first few kilometres to allow the moving parts of your engine to warm up.  \nTurn off the engine if you are parked for longer than  \n10 seconds.  \nAvoid using a remote starter.  \nIn cold weather, use a timer and  \nengine block heater. Have the block heater come on 2 hours before you’re ready to start the car.  \nSomething to consider  \nAn idling engine consumes on average 1.8 l. of gas per hour.  \nLonger hours to reach us  \nOn October 4, 2004, our Monday to Friday call centre hours were extended:  \n• 8 am to 5:30 pm for general information  \nan additional 12 hours and 30 minutes each week  \n• 8:30 am to 5 pm for accident victims’ compensation  \nan additional 7 hours and 30 minutes each week  \nREADY FOR WINTER?  \nIn winter, adapting one’s driving to the prevailing conditions is important. The variety of weather systems that can affect road conditions underscores the need to be prepared for winter driving, and to exercise caution.  \nSo, before heading out, take the time to remove snow and ice  \nfrom your vehicle. Reduce your travel speed and keep a greater distance from the vehicle ahead. Watch out for schoolchildren and other pedestrians; their safety may hinge on your alertness.  \nWith cellphone use being recognized as a major source of distraction to drivers, its best position is “off” before you get behind the wheel1.  \nTo serve the public better, we have extended the business hours of our call centre. For  \ninformation on these hours, check out: To Contact Us in this issue.  \nThis winter, be on your guard!  \nJacques Brind’Amour  \nChairman and Chief Executive Officer  \n1. Although not a topic broached in this issue, a reminder can only serve all road users well.  \nCHECK YOUR DRIVING KNOWLEDGE  \nYou are at the wheel of your vehicle. You are about to make a right-hand turn. The orange pedestrian walk signal is on, but a pedestrian is crossing the intersection. What are you required to do?  \nA Yield the right-of-way to the pedestrian crossing the intersection.  \nB Sound your horn.  \nC Make sure that the pedestrian allows you to go through.  \n.noitcesretni  \neht retne ot ton meht gninraw langis ehttcepser otliaf yeht fi neve ,noitcesretni na gnissorc era oh w snairtsedep ot yaw-fo-thgireht dleiy tsu m uoY.
