1. Check Your Tires and Brakes Cold weather can cause tire pressure to drop, so it’s important to check and maintain the correct pressure for optimal safety and performance. If you live in an area prone to snow or ice, consider switching to winter tires for better traction. Additionally, inspect your brakes to ensure they’re in good condition—slippery roads demand a reliable braking system.
2. Protect Your Battery Batteries work harder in cold weather, and a weak battery can leave you stranded. Test your battery’s charge and ensure the terminals are clean and free of corrosion. If your battery is more than three years old, consider replacing it to avoid any unexpected breakdowns.
3. Maintain Your Fluids Winter weather puts extra strain on your car’s fluids. Ensure your antifreeze (coolant) is topped up and mixed properly to prevent freezing. Check your oil and consider switching to a winter-grade oil if you’re in extremely cold climates. Don’t forget your windshield washer fluid—use one designed for winter conditions to avoid freezing on your windshield.
