福克斯新闻 安全汽车旅行小贴士

It's FOX Wheels.

More people have gotten away this Labor¹ Day then any year since 1998.

(Hunter) "35 million are traveling — 29.7 million will be traveling by car."

Heather Hunter with AAA says more people are getting behind the wheel in part because it's cheaper, but also a reminder² before you head home…

(Hunter) "Ensure that all your precious cargo³ is safe and properly restrained in the vehicle."

Check your oil, other fluids, and tire pressure too.

And here's a tip with tires… Experts say if you keep them properly inflated⁴ at all times that you could save up to 11-cents per gallon if you fuel up once a week.

After scores of vehicle recalls this year, it's tough to keep track and easy to begin tuning⁵ out of recall news. That's why the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has launched a new website that allows us to check the recall status of our cars trucks and SUVs. All you need is your vehicle's vin number and this website: Safercar.gov.

That's FOX Wheels, I'm Jeff Monosso.
