Posted on December 7, 2017

While winter weather
is known to be pleasant and relaxing, it’s also known to be a hectic experience
while driving. Learn more about ways to keep your next winter drive a safe one
by referring to these helpful tips below.

Keep
Your Tires Inflated

Having your tires inflated helps the winter
drive become a safer one, especially when travelling over icy roads. Also make
sure that your spare tire is in good condition just in case you experience a
flat tire situation while on the road.

Check
Your Car’s Battery

Take your car into Crosstown Chrysler Jeep Dodge or
use a portable battery monitor to check on its performance now that the weather
is getting colder. A car battery’s power is known to drop during the winter
season, so make sure that the battery is up to date and if not, get it replaced
immediately. Crosstown Chrysler Jeep Dodge is your one stop shop for all your battery needs.

Make
Sure Your Lights Are Working

A vehicle’s lights are one of the essential
tools to use when navigating through snowy weather conditions. Check on your
headlights, brake lights and emergency lights so drivers can see you on the
road and to keep a close eye on your surroundings during that winter drive.

Check
Your Weather App or Weather Channel

It’s always good to know how the temperature
before getting in your car and heading to your destination. Check the weather
app on your phone or tune in to the weather channel on your television to see
how the climate is when taking a drive to the grocery store or the mall.
