How to Prepare Your Genesis for Winter Travel
Before the snow starts to fall, winterize your vehicle by doing the following:
- Flush your coolant system to be sure it is free from clogs and debris, and check your vehicle manual to see the ratio of coolant and water to refill it with.
- Check your tires. Replace any tires with less than 5/32 of an inch tread depth, and check your tire pressure as cold weather impacts tire pressure. We also recommend winter tires in Little Falls, NJ.
- Check your windshield wiper blades because fresh blades will help reduce sticking on frozen windshields. Be sure to fill your windshield wiper reservoir with fluid designed for freezing conditions.
- Check your headlights to be sure they are properly aligned and the covers free from oxidation.
- Check your car's other systems, from your engine oil to your heating systems, as cold weather can affect many other parts of your vehicle.
- Before driving, be sure that your car's windshield, hood, windows, and headlights are clear of snow and ice so that your visibility isn't hindered.
- Always have an emergency kit in your car with items such as a shovel, flashlight, jumper cables, flares, blankets, a first-aid kit, high-calorie snacks, and warm blankets. If you are stuck, stay in your vehicle until help arrives.
These preparations allow you to head out during the holidays with more confidence in your vehicle's readiness for winter driving, which gives you peace of mind. Again, we have all-wheel drive luxury sedans near Caldwell, NJ that provide even greater confidence in poor driving conditions that snow and ice are sure to cause, and these new Genesis sedans have features like heated seats and remote start that you're sure to use this winter!
