As the temperature continues to drop, we know that winter is quickly approaching. Before the season starts, it’s so important to winterize your vehicle with Mercedes-Benz service. Mercedes-Benz of Romeoville is sharing how to prep your vehicle for the season.
Check Your Fluids
Fluids already have a critical role in your vehicle, which can be amplified in the winter. Consider switching to an engine oil that’s designed for cooler temperatures, and make sure that your antifreeze is full, since it’s necessary to protect your engine. Check your windshield wiper fluid as well, since it’s crucial for visibility.
Replace Your Windshield Wipers
Your windshield wipers are also so important in the winter. We use them often throughout the winter, whether that’s to clear morning ice or remove slush while we’re driving. Cold weather can make them brittle, so make sure that you have a good set before winter begins.
Inspect Your Tires
You’ll have a hard time staying in control on slick streets without proper traction. If your tread is low, it's important to replace your tires. We recommend using winter tires, which stay flexible in cold temperatures and have a special tread pattern that’s designed for snow and ice.
Pack an Emergency Kit
Even with the proper precautions, winter driving can still be unsafe and certainly unpredictable. Make sure that you pack an emergency kit in your vehicle, so that you’re always prepared for the unexpected. Your emergency supplies should include jumper cables, an ice scraper, kitty litter or sand, a flashlight, bottled water, and snacks.
