Check Light Bulbs
Remaining visible to others on the road and seeing others is vital, especially in winter conditions, so check your vehicle's bulbs. Also, don't forget to check smaller bulbs, such as your turn signals, fog lamps, and others, to be able to communicate with others to avoid dangerous driving situations.
Install Winter Tires
Regardless of vehicle type, you want to install winter tires to drive safely on snowy and icy roads. Winter tires will maximize your control and traction, helping you get the best fuel efficiency during winter since you will avoid spinning your wheels due to lack of traction.
Replace Wiper Blades
During winter driving, you will want to maximize visibility, making it vital to have good wiper blades to keep your windshield clean. Also, you should check and top off the windshield wiper fluid to avoid visibility issues during your commutes. Winter-specific wiper blades are engineered with special rubber to perform best during cold drives.
Check Battery
Your vehicle's battery requires constant attention and maintenance to continue serving you reliably, and cold winter temperatures can cause it to stop functioning as intended. Check the battery visually and have its voltage tested to ensure it's ready for winter.
