Whatever part of the country you live in, whether Sun Belt or Snow Belt, now is the right time to ensure it’s prepared for the onslaught. Here’s what you should check:
TIRES: People ignore their tires until one goes flat. But nothing else affects your car as much as an under-inflated tire.
Cold weather causes tires to lose air pressure, so it’s a good idea to check. The proper amount is not listed on the tire; it’s posted on the driver’s side front door jamb on most newer cars and trucks.
BRAKES: When roads are coated with rain, sleet and snow, stopping distances increase. If your last vehicle check showed your brakes to be marginal, or the brakes squeal when coming to a stop, now is the time to get them checked and/or replaced.
COOLING SYSTEM: If you can’t remember the last time your vehicle’s cooling system was flushed, check your records. Then, look at the owner’s manual. Flushing the system removes sediment and rust particles to prevent clogging. Be sure to use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze to water. Also, be sure to use the proper antifreeze. Many newer vehicles specify a new, longer-life engine coolant, not the traditional green type. Finally, replace any dried-out, cracked hoses.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WASHER FLUID: If the wipers are streaking, replace them. Also, if you dilute windshield washer fluid with water, use it up. Replace it with pure washer fluid that won’t freeze below 32 degrees.
LIGHTS: Seeing and being seen is important in nasty weather. Have a family member or friend stand outside the car, to make sure all the vehicle lights work: headlights, fog lights, tail lights and turn signals.
