Note: Sirius Signal recommends checking and replacing batteries at the start of each season. For extended use, carry spare batteries for additional run time Note: The principle ingredient in Marine Flares a highly toxic substance, Perchlorate. One improperly disposed of flare can contaminate 240,000 gallons of water. 30 million flares will expire in the next 3 years. Only 9% of those flares are likely to be disposed of properly. Many get tossed into the water. The Sirius SOS distress light is a sound alternative to dangerous and toxic marine flares. |

Kia has published some engine details and new photos of its replacement 2011 Picanto, which goes on sale in late spring. The new Picanto will be unveiled at the 2011 Geneva motor show on 1 March. It's a bigger model than the outgoing city car - the longer wheelbase liberating a quarter more boot space to answer criticisms of a cramped luggage bay.
