- Checklist Before you go on the road
Winterize Your Vehicle
Colder temperatures always bring out the worst in a vehicle. Meanwhile, hazardous winter driving demands its best possible performance. It's
up to you to ensure your vehicle is ready for the freezing temperatures ahead. Most of us that drive do not realize the things that we can do
ourselves to improve our vehicle's performance during the winter months. Below you will find two checklists to assist you. Remember that
most of them you can do yourself at the Auto Skills Center. If you don't know how, our staff will instruct you.
Always remember to check your
vehicle owner's manual for specific servicing schedules and recommendations.
TIRES: Check tires for tread wear. Proper tread and air pressure inflation will improve vehicle handling and control when driving through wet,
slippery conditions specifically with front wheel drive vehicles. Use the same make, size and type on all four tires. Different tread patterns
can reduce the stability of your vehicle on the road. Certain types of tires are specifically designed to provide better traction and braking in deep
snow conditions as well as greater stability and control on slushy roads. Some winter tires offer additional features that will enhance the tires'
performance in icy conditions. These features may include studs, specialized rubber compounds or additional traction enhancers molded
directly into the tire.
WINTER DRIVING EQUIPMENT: In particularly cold weather, equip your vehicle with:
jumper cables, an ice scraper and a towing cable, flares, a blanket,
a first aid kit, candles and non-perishable foods such as candy bars,
warm gloves, boots, a flashlight and a cellular phone, a shovel,
sand, traction pads or chains.
