Fall keeps on turning and so does our fall car care tips for your
vehicle. Take these additional vital maintenance steps for your vehicle in order
to conquer fall weather and stay on the road.
Tires
Check your air pressure regularly. As the temperature outside falls, so
does the air pressure in your tires. Also, check the tread and for bulges in
your tires. Replace your tires if your tread is worn or you find any bulges in
your tires.
Wipers and
Lighting
Check the condition of your wiper blades and clean or replace if
necessary. Make sure all exterior and interior lights work properly. Replace
burned out light bulbs, or re-aim headlights if necessary.
Heating,
Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) System
Check your heater and defrosters to make sure you are ready to conquer
the cold and frosty weather coming up. Also, if your windows fog up, turning on
the air conditioning is a quick way to clear up the foggy windows. You can even
turn up the thermostat so the air conditioning is warm instead of cold.
Engine
Performance
Use fuel cleaner and clean fuel injectors and spark plugs to make sure
your engine is working at maximum efficiency.
Emergency
Essentials Kit
Keep your ice scraper ready and make sure to keep the following packed in
your trunk: snow brush, jumper cables, a flashlight, blankets, bottled water,
extra clothes, nonperishable food, first aid kit, and any necessary medication.
