Icy conditions and cold temperatures during winter may cause problems for your vehicle. Our team at Winner Ford in Dover, DE has some tips for you that will help keep your car in good condition during spring.
Inspect your exterior and interior lighting to detect any defects. Exterior lighting helps to show when you want to stop, turn or reverse, thus informing other road users about what you want to do, enabling them to act accordingly.
Don’t forget to check your hoses and belts, as low temperatures may harden and damage rubber. Have your battery tested and remove any corrosion you find. You may need to replace your battery if the existing one is over five years old.
You may also need new wiper blades if the existing ones are not functioning optimally. Remember to check your fluids. These fluids are transmission brake, steering, and coolant. Insufficient amounts of some fluids may cause the vehicle to malfunction and may also result in accidents.
