Winterizing
your vehicle
Every season puts particular demands on your vehicle - and on you, its driver.
Your vehicle must be mechanically sound and properly
tuned to perform well in the extremes of winter cold or summer heat.
You too must be ready, especially in the winter,
when the weather gets ugly and roads treacherous.
To help you stay safe, this section shows you
-
- vehicle maintenance tips for the summer
- how to drive on wet roads
- how to drive on icy or snowy roads (including
getting out of a skid)
- how to winterize your vehicle, and what kind
of safety equipment you need for longer trips
If you're travelling far, check road and weather
reports first. It might be better to stay home until conditions
improve. During your trip, tune in to local radio stations for up-to-the-minute
road and weather reports.
