How to protect your car from winter challenges

Drivers should carefully prepare their vehicle for the cold season because the slightest mistake can lead to trouble and expensive repairs. The vehicle needs special protection in winter to ensure a comfortable and safe trip.

Best Life magazine has published expert advice to help you cope with this. By following the rules, you will avoid dangerous situations on the road.

Windshield

It is important to inspect the windshield for small cracks, and if there are any, you should definitely have them fixed. Severe frost can contribute to the spread of cracks on the glass.

Antifreeze

This is a colored liquid that must be diluted with water and added to the radiator to regulate the engine temperature. The main function of the solution is to lower the freezing point of water. Make sure you have enough antifreeze in your car.

Headlights

Make sure that the car's headlights, brake lights, and turn signals are working. Blizzard, snow, and darkness reduce visibility on the road, which can lead to an accident.

Pay particular attention to the brightness of the headlights.

Tires

Your tires must be in excellent condition to drive safely on winter streets. Be sure to change your summer tires to winter ones to improve your handling and stopping power in winter conditions.

Overall appearance

If you want your car to have a beautiful and neat appearance, you should have it washed and polished it well regularly. This will also help avoid scratches and protect the chassis from excessive damage.

It is important to consider the amount of salt and chemicals on the roadway in winter. This affects the appearance of rust.
