NEW YORK, December 21 -- THIS IS A MULTIVU SPECIAL REPORT BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE ALLIANCE OF AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS. WITH THE HOLIDAY DRIVING SEASON APPROACHING, THE ALLIANCE OF AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS REMINDS DRIVERS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING PROPER TIRE PRESSURE.

BY 2008, ALL NEW VEHICLES WILL COME EQUIPPED WITH TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS. SOME VEHICLES ON THE ROAD TODAY ALREADY HAVE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM BUT MANY DRIVERS DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE NEW SYMBOL MEANS. PROPER TIRE PRESSURE IS IMPORTANT FOR THE SAFETY AND FUEL EFFICIENCY OF THE VEHICLE

FRED WEBBER, THE ALLIANCE OF AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS:

"Before packing up the family and heading out to visit relatives this holiday season, we hope everyone will check the tire pressure in their vehicles. Colder temperatures can change the pressure of your tires, and low tire pressure can really affect your gas mileage and your safety on the road."

I'M CHRISTIANE ARBESU.
