The ‘how to get your car ready for winter’ checklist
October 25th, 2010 - 8:21 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattNew York, Oct 25 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The winter is impending and along with it also come the various challenges. During the winter, normal lives are disrupted and in severe cases, normal routines can cease altogether.
However routines like transportation cannot be disrupted for a long time at least. There are several mechanisms that are used to ensure that this does not happen. In automobiles, various technologies are used to achieve this.
Ensuring that your vehicle is ready for the upcoming winter is important. There are some things you must do to be assured of mobility this winter.
Here are a few of them.
Ensure that you car’s anti-freezing levels are just right. Maintain your anti-freeze solvent at a ratio of 50:50 to the car’s water coolant. This ensures that your car’s radiator coolant is not frozen.
Check your tyre’s depth and ensure that they are at least 2/32″. Your car’s tyre’s will guarantee your safety so don’t try saving money on your tyres.
Ensure your wipers are working properly. Make sure you know the state of your wipers before you drive through a snowstorm.
Ensure your battery is in good shape. This step will ensure that you are not stuck in freezing temperatures.
Check your brakes and brake fluids to ensure that the car’s braking system is in great condition before the season.
Check you car’s oil and plugs and ensure that they are working properly before the winter sets in.
If these checks are followed, you are sure to have hassle-free driving in the winter.
