With the start of the winter season, in addition to winter tires, your vehicle must be completely prepared for the new season. Here are some tips on how to prepare your car for winter:
How to prepare your car for winter
Check the battery
Cold temperatures reduce the battery’s capacity, so if it is older than three years, check its charge. If it shows a weaker charge, it is better to replace it before the season, because the winter puts additional strain on it.
Check wipers and windshield fluid
Visibility is key to safety, so replace old or damaged wipers and top up with windshield fluid that won’t freeze in cold temperatures.
Check the lights
Short days and winter fog require good lighting. Check that all lights are working and replace the bulbs if necessary so that you have clear visibility and are visible to other drivers.
Check the antifreeze
To avoid engine freezing, check the antifreeze level and top up if necessary. It is ideal to use antifreeze that is designed for temperatures down to -30°C.
Although you can do part of the vehicle preparation yourself without any problem, we recommend that you leave it to professionals who, in addition to the basic things, will also check some others and give you the best advice for your safety on the road.
