Winter Driving TipsAntifreeze - Batteries - Control The winter driving season is here. Freezing temperatures, wet sloppy roads and long slow rides to and from work are almost certain to be in the near future. Winter can be demanding especially on your car. Here are three tips that will help protect you and your car. Antifreeze - Keeps the Engine Cool and You Warm Antifreeze or engine coolant is the life blood of the engine cooling system. It is mixed with water and stored in the radiator, it's primary purpose is to prevent freezing of the water in the radiator. Antifreeze also is the very thing you need to create heat in the car to stay warm and defrost those frozen windows. Several key factors should be kept in mind especially in the winter time.
Batteries - Weak Batteries Will Go Dead In Freezing Temps Batteries do not like cold weather, weak batteries hate it. It is difficult nowdays to tell when a battery is getting weak. More and more we are seeing people caught by surprise with a dead battery. To avoid getting stuck out in the cold with a car that won't start, follow these tips.
Control - Stick To The Road - Stop Straight - See And Be Seen Maintaining control on those wet slippery roads is the most important aspect of winter driving. The tires need to grab the road and the brakes need to stop the car straight. working headlamps, brake lights and windshield wipers make it easy for other drivers to see you and you to see them. These important tips can make the difference between chaos and control.
It takes only a few moments to look things over. Taking the time to inspect things now can save a lot of trouble and a lot of money when the freezing temps and sloppy weather hit.

Extreme temperature could affects the performance of the vehicle to a greater extents. So, the condition of the battery needs to be evaluated prior to the arrival of the winter season. In order to evaluate the condition of the battery, we could conduct a volt test. If the battery is more than four year old, then it should be replaced with suitable substitutes in order to ensure continuous power supply. Tire pressure and tread depth also needs to be inspected on a daily basis and should be properly inflated in order to produce better grip on the road surface.

Thanks for sharing the importance of antifreeze to counter the negative outcome of the winter. Antifreeze plays a key role in the performance of the vehicle by keeping the temperature of the engine at an optimum level. Lack of adequate amount of antifreeze is more than enough to jeopardize the functioning of the engine. So, the antifreeze level should be inspected at a regular interval and antifreeze flush is also essential to keep the vehicle in good running order.
