With winter popping up in many parts of the country, it’s time to start taking steps to make sure that your car is prepared for colder temperatures. Cold weather makes pliable material stiffer and brittle and can make fluids thicker. If you live in an area with severe winter weather, you know that how dangerous the roads can get and the unique problems winter weather can create for your car. Freezing temperature can bring small auto problems to the forefront and exacerbate a small issue into a huge problem.

So before the temperature starts to drop, it’s a good idea for vehicle owners to do a winter weather vehicle check. To have the safest driving experience this winter, it’s best to plan ahead. Taking steps now will help diminish the chance of an accident or being stranded on the side of the road.

While there are numerous steps one can take as a precaution we have highlighted some of the easiest and most crucial which should help you skate through the winter months without any major issues:

  • Cold weather is especially hard on batteries. Have your battery and charging system checked and if there is a problem get them replaced immediately because if the battery dies you are going to need a jump to get started again, something that might not be readily accessible on a dark, snowy road.
  • The chance of sliding on patches of ice can be decreased by using tires that are inflated correctly. Tires that have quality tread and not worn out also decrease the risk of sliding on ice patches.
  • Make sure your gas tank is at least half full at all times. This will help to avoid frozen gas lines.
  • Make sure you have the proper amount of antifreeze. Too much water or too little antifreeze can lead to a crack in your engine block.
  • Another aspect that keeps you in control behind the wheel is your brakes. A quick inspection to make sure that your brakes are checked well go a long way this winter. Worn brake pads and other dilapidated brake parts can mean the difference between stopping safely and sliding into the car in front of you.
  • Make sure your defrosters and wipers are in good condition and working properly. Visibility decreases during snow storms and their aftermath. Put the odds in your favor by purchasing new wiper blades, making sure your defrosters work properly and even purchasing winter weather washer fluid.
  • Keep a winter survival kit in your car in case of emergencies. Great items, to have in your kit include an abrasive material like sand or kitty litter, a cell phone charger, warm blankets and clothes.
