Therefore, in such weather, there is a need to adopt some important tips to keep you and your vehicle safe. Therefore, today, we will tell you some vital information related to safe driving in winter.
Get Servicing Done On Time
Servicing is the most basic requirement for any vehicle, so get it serviced regularly and do not be stingy in replacing those parts that suffer more wear and tear.
Take Care Of Cleanliness
To have good visibility in winter, always keep all windows, doors, mirrors and all lights (headlights, tail lights, fog lamps and others) of the vehicle thoroughly clean. If possible, use a good glass cleaner and lukewarm water for this.
Check Electrical Parts
All lights outside and inside the car should be working usually. To maintain normal cabin temperature, the climate control system must work well. Replace wiper blades if necessary. Also, the wipers should be in perfect condition, and the water and washer fluid tanks should always be kept full.
Check The Engine
Cold weather can affect battery performance and cause problems when starting the engine. Therefore, if the battery is old, replace it and get all the cables and leads checked. The engine oil and coolant should also be checked and replaced if necessary.
Get Brakes Checked
Brakes play an essential role in stopping on wet or snowy roads. Therefore, get the brakes cleaned and serviced before it gets too cold. If necessary, check and replace the brake pads and get the brake callipers cleaned and greased.
Take Care Of Tires
The air pressure in tires varies in summer and cold weather. Therefore, ensure that the air pressure in the vehicle’s tires is according to the season and if the tires are excessively worn, it would be better to replace them.
Keep Food Items In The Car
Always have snacks and plenty of extra water in the car while waiting for help to arrive because it can help you if you get into trouble.
Battery Pack and Charger
You will be in trouble if your car breaks down and your mobile phone’s battery runs out. Therefore, keep a charger and a power bank in the car.
