\u2776 Have a Winter Emergency Roadside Kit<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Whether it is winter, summer, spring, or fall, it is wise to have a roadside emergency kit in your vehicle at all times. These kits can come in anything from 30-piece kits, to 70-piece kits, and larger. The right kit for you depends on the size of your vehicle, your town\u2019s geography, and your driving practices. Such kits should include basic materials like a spare tire, gloves, tire jack, jumper cables, road triangles, torque wrench, tire pressure gauge, flashlight, and a blanket. More thorough kits might include a screwdriver set, sockets, electrical tape, emergency flares, hazard flags, reflective gear, AA batteries, fire extinguisher, pliers, utility knife, and even a small medical kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2777 Pay Close Attention to Your Tires<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When temperatures are cold or below freezing, your tires\nlose pressure more quickly. As a result, tires lose proper connection to the\nroad surface. With a loss of traction, you put yourself at risk of losing control\nof your vehicle in icy or wet conditions. Before each drive, always check that your\ntires are fully inflated. At least once per month, be sure to measure the tire\npressure too. Check the tag within the driver\u2019s-side doorjamb or your owner\u2019s\nmanual for recommended tire pressure for your make and model car. Also with\ntires, be sure there is plenty of tread left. Use the \u201cpenny test\u201d to see if\nyou are ready to replace your tires: insert the penny in between your tire\ntread, and if Lincoln\u2019s head is higher than the tread, you need new tires soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2778 Take Care of Your Car Battery<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Just like your tires, your car battery is also affected by cold weather and temperatures. An extended period of freezing cold weather will pull the voltage from car batteries, and eventually prevent the car from starting altogether. To make matters worse, cold temperatures also thicken automotive fluid, which makes your vehicle\u2019s components (like the battery) work harder, thus using up more power. To avoid this problem, be sure you stay on top of routine battery maintenance, as well as all your other factory scheduled measures, such as fluid changes and tune-ups. Read our blog, \u201cThe Do’s and Don’ts to Automotive Battery Maintenance<\/a>\u201d to learn what you need to know about taking care of your car battery all year long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
