E-ORLANDO, Fla. – Ngemigubho ye-Earth Day 2011 kuleli sonto, i-AAA inikeza abashayeli amathiphu okuthi bangashayela kanjani 'ngokuluhlaza' futhi bonge imali ethile kule nqubo.
"Abantu abaningi baseMelika bazama ukwenza izinqumo ezikhathalela kakhulu imvelo, futhi lokho kubaluleke kakhulu kuleli sonto njengoba sisondela kuSuku Lomhlaba luka-2011," kusho uJohn Nielsen, uMqondisi Kazwelonke we-AAA we-Auto Repair, Buying Services and Consumer Information. "Ziningi izinto esingayenza ukuze sinciphise umthelela wethu kwezemvelo ngenkathi songa imali."
1. Cabanga Amaqanda Ngaphansi Kwezinyosi
Indlela elula nesebenza ngempumelelo kakhulu yokushayela 'okuluhlaza' ukumane uguqule isitayela somuntu sokushayela. Esikhundleni sokwenza isiqalo esisheshayo nokuma kungazelelwe, hamba kalula kugesi kanye namabhuleki ama-pedal. Uma kunelambu elibomvu ngaphambili, yehlisa igesi bese ukhuphuka uye kuyo kunokulinda kuze kube isekhondi lokugcina ukuze ubhuleke. Uma ukukhanya kuba luhlaza, sheshisa ngobumnene kunokwenza isiqalo 'sonogwaja'.
“Cabanga nje kunamaqanda ngaphansi kwegesi yakho namabhuleki ama-pedal. Ufuna ukufaka ingcindezi kancane kumaphedali ukuze ugweme ukuphuka iqanda,” kuchaza uNielsen. “Ukushintsha indlela oshayela ngayo kungaba nomthelela omkhulu emalini kaphethiloli esetshenziswa yimoto yakho, kungenzeki nje ukukhetha ‘okuluhlaza’, kodwa okungakongela ngempela imali ngamanani aphezulu kaphethiloli anamuhla.”
UMnyango Wezamandla wase-US ubika ukuthi ukushayela ngobudlova kunganciphisa ukonga kukaphethiloli wemoto kuze kufike kumaphesenti angu-33.
2. Yehlisa Ijubane
Ukufika lapho uya khona ngokushesha akusho ukufika lapho 'kuluhlaza.' Ukusebenza kahle kukaphethiloli kwezimoto eziningi kuncipha ngokushesha ngesivinini esingaphezu kuka-60 mph.
“Uma i-AAA ithi yehlisa ijubane, lokho akusho ukuba isivimbamgwaqo esinyakazayo emgwaqeni omkhulu. Ukuphepha kufanele kuhlale kubalulekile. Kodwa-ke, ukushayela nje umkhawulo wejubane noma amamayela ambalwa ngehora ngaphansi kunganciphisa ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli kufike kumaphesenti angama-23,” kuphawula uNielsen.
I-5 mph ngayinye eshayelwa ngaphezu kuka-60 mph ifana nokukhokha i-$ 0.24 eyengeziwe ngegaloni ngalinye ngegesi, ngokusho koMnyango Wezamandla wase-US.
3. Gcina Imoto Yakho Isesimweni
Imoto enganakekelwa kahle ingakhipha isisi esikhipha umoya omningi futhi idle uphethiloli owengeziwe kunalokho okudingekayo. “Susa uthuli incwadi yomnikazi bese uthola uhlelo lokulungisa lomenzi ngaphakathi. Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi konke ukunakekelwa okunconyiwe kusesikhathini samanje kuzosiza imoto yakho ukuthi isebenze kahle,” kusho uNielsen.
I-AAA incoma ukuthi kube nezinkinga zemoto, okuhlanganisa namalambu akhanyayo ayisixwayiso, okuqondiswe kuwo uchwepheshe oqeqeshiwe, oqeqeshiwe. Ukulungiswa nokulungiswa okuncane kungase kubangele ukungcola kanye nokonga kukaphethiloli ngamaphesenti afika kwamane, kuyilapho izinkinga ezingathi sína, njengenzwa ye-oxygen enephutha, zinganciphisa ibanga legesi libe ngamaphesenti angu-40.
Ukuze kusizwe abashayeli bezimoto bathole isevisi yezimoto ethembekile, esezingeni eliphezulu, i-AAA ihlole futhi yagunyaza izitolo ezicishe zibe ngu-8,000 zokulungisa izimoto ezweni lonke. Ukuze uthole indawo eseduze ye-AAA Approved Auto Repair, vakashela ku-AAA.com/Repair.
4. Khetha Imoto 'Eluhlaza'
Lapho uthenga imoto entsha, cabanga ngezinhlobonhlobo zezimoto 'eziluhlaza' ezitholakala manje kubakhi bezimoto. I-AAA isanda kukhipha uhlu lwayo luka-2011 lwezimoto 'eziluhlaza' ezitholakala kubathengi.
“Kunenqwaba yezimoto 'eziluhlaza' emakethe namuhla. Hlola izinto zokuhamba zomuntu siqu ukuze unqume ukuthi yikuphi okukulungele. Kungaba yi-hybrid, i-plug-in hybrid noma imoto kagesi. Noma, kungase kube uhlobo olusha olunenjini yokushisa yangaphakathi yobuchwepheshe obuphezulu ethola igas mileage enhle,” kusho uNielsen.
Uhlu lwe-AAA lwezinqola eziphezulu zezimoto 'eziluhlaza' lutholakala ku-AAA.com/News.
Ngisho nalabo abangekho emakethe yokuthola imoto entsha bangakwazi ukukhetha imoto 'eluhlaza'. Uma umuzi unezimoto eziningi, khetha ukushayela imodeli 'eluhlaza' kaningi lapho wenza imisebenzi ethile noma wenza olunye uhambo.
5. Cabanga Futhi Uhlele Kusengaphambili
Cabanga kusengaphambili ngaphambi kokuya esitolo noma komunye umsebenzi. Nquma zonke izindawo odinga ukuya kuzo ngalolo suku bese uzama ukuhlanganisa uhambo oluningi lube lunye. Uhambo olufushane olumbalwa oluqala ngenjini ebandayo isikhathi ngasinye lungasebenzisa igesi ephindwe kabili kunohambo olulodwa olude lapho injini ifudumele. Futhi, hlela umzila kusenesikhathi ukuze ushayele amamayela ambalwa kakhulu, ususe ukuhlehla futhi ugweme izikhathi zethrafikhi ezisindayo nezindawo.
I-AAA ingasiza abashayeli bahlele imizila ephumelelayo yemisebenzi yabo futhi bathole izindawo ezingcono kakhulu zokumisa uphethiloli endleleni. Ngokusebenzisa uhlelo lokusebenza lwamahhala lwe-iPhone ye-AAA TripTik, abashayeli bathola ukuzulazula kwejika nejika ngezikhombisi-ndlela ezizwakalayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, bangakwazi ukuqhathanisa izindleko zikaphethiloli ezibuyekezwa njalo eziteshini zikaphethiloli eduze nendawo abakuyo. I-AAA iphinde ihlinzeke ngokuhlela umzila wamahhala, igalaji likaphethiloli nolwazi lwamanani kaphethiloli ku-inthanethi nge-TripTik Travel Planner ku-AAA.com.
