We know that we can see some harsh driving conditions throughout the winter in Illinois. It’s important to prepare your vehicle so that you can stay safe on the road. At Jaguar Northfield, we’re outlining the Jaguar service you need to get ready for winter.
Inspect Your Tires
Sufficient tire tread is critical when streets get snowy or slick. In fact, while the normal recommended depth is 4/32 of an inch, many experts recommend increasing that to 6/32 of an inch for adequate traction in the snow. Consider replacing your tires with winter tires for optimal grip in winter conditions.
Check Your Headlights
Now that daylight savings time has ended, you’re likely to spend more time driving in the dark. For your safety, it’s important to test your headlights and taillights and replace any that aren’t working. Make sure that you also test your brake lights and hazard lights as well.
Replace Your Windshield Wipers
Driving on a snowy day can result in a lot of muck on your windshield. Between messy streets and frosty mornings, good windshield wipers are critical in the winter. Check yours to see if they can properly clear your windshield and, if not, it’s time to replace them.
Check Your Defroster
Speaking of those cold mornings, your defroster is also crucial. We recommend testing yours to make sure that it’s working. While you’re at it, check out your heat system as well, because no one wants to commute in a cold cabin on a blistering day.
