When the cold of winter sets in, your car is at risk of suffering damage in multiple ways. Wet and icy winter roads are also more treacherous to drive on. With this in mind, here are some key Honda winter maintenance tips to prepare your car and keep you safer on the roads this winter. more Change to Winter Tires Wintery roads can be slippery. Ordinary summer and even all-season tires aren't well-suited to handle the occasional ice and compacted snow you come across on Idaho roads during winter. It's therefore important to install proper winter tires as the temperature drops. The special rubber of winter tires remains pliant even in freezing temperatures, allowing more surface area to grip the road. The voids between the treads are also larger, allowing for the displacement of extra water and snow. The sharper edges of the tread lugs can also cut into compacted snow more easily. Install Winter Windshield Wipers The rubber in ordinary windshield wipers can stiffen in freezing temperatures. The extra demands of ice and snow on the windshield can also destroy many regular summer wipers. So it's a good idea to install special winter wipers that are more ruggedly constructed with rubber that remains extremely flexible even in the coldest weather. Ensure Your Battery's in Good Condition It's well known that car batteries struggle to handle cold weather. The cold can slow down the chemical processes inside the battery, preventing it from storing and delivering electrical voltage as easily. Aging batteries are particularly likely to fail during winter. So before winter begins, check to ensure your battery is in tip-top condition and consider installing a new one if necessary. Change to an Appropriate Winter Coolant Regular summer coolant is at risk of freezing during winter, so it's important to change yours for a special winter coolant that has more antifreeze mixed in. A trusted technician can help you select just the right winter coolant for your vehicle. Prepare a Winter Safety Kit Becoming stranded somewhere, unable to start your engine, is risky during winter because of the cold. Many safety-conscious drivers therefore prepare a winter safety kit for emergencies. This kit should include a warm jacket and extra clothes, a flashlight with batteries, an ice scraper, a first aid kit, emergency flares, matches to start a fire, a bag of sand, and a shovel. You should also include jumper cables and extra coolant. Ask for Honda Winter Maintenance at Your Local Dealership There are several other things you can do to prepare for winter driving.
