How to Prepare your Vehicle for the
Winter Months
Winterizing your vehicle is important for the safety of you and your vehicle and Link
Automotive is here to help you every step of the way! With preparing your vehicle for the
winter season, some of these tips can be done on your own or with the help of Link
Automotive.
Some of the winterizing that can be done on
your own include:
Maintaining Tire Pressure: Tire pressure changes in cold
weather. Driving with low pressure in tires can result in
increased stopping time and increased wear on tires.
Keeping windshield wiper fluid filled: Refill
with a fluid made for winter conditions.
You use more wiper fluid in the winter
months, so it is important to watch for low
levels.
Packing a winter safety kit: Include a first
aid kit, flashlight with batteries, ice
scraper, warm jacket or blanket, jumper
cables, sand and a shovel, and extra
antifreeze.
Keeping the gas tank half full: Prevents gas lines from freezing up and it
will keep you warm if there is an unexpected break down on the side of
the road.
