Winter Weather Prep

Whether we like it or not, winter is just around the corner. At INFINITI of Madison, we want to make sure you are safe this season. Now is a great time to do some seasonal maintenance on your vehicle to help you minimize cold weather troubles.

9 tips that can increase your safety this season:

1. Antifreeze
   The right antifreeze prevents corrosion in the cooling system. It is important to use the right one for your vehicle. Ask your service advisor what he would recommend.
2. Defrost Your Windows
   Use the A/C to defrost. The cool air will dry the air and remove the moisture quicker.
3. Turn Your Wipers Off
   Ensure your wipers are off when you turn off your vehicle. Wipers can break if forced when vehicle starts.
4. Replace Your Wipers
   Check windshield wipers and replace if necessary.
5. Battery
   Let your car run for 30 seconds to 1 minute when the weather is cold. It allows the battery to recover.
6. Trunk
   Check that you have a working jack and wheel brace.
7. Treads
   Check the condition, pressure and tread depth. Replace tires or switch out to winter or all-season tires.
8. Snow Removal
   Make sure you have a scraper/brush in your trunk for snow removal.
9. Visibility
   Check that all lights work and are clean.
