Cold weather is right around the corner, which means you need to start preparing your Nissan for the upcoming temperature drop. But don’t worry – we’ve put together a list of tips and tricks to ensure your vehicle is running safely and smoothly for the whole season!
Check Your Tires
Healthy tires are important for your Nissan truck’s overall performance, and when driving in colder weather, rain, and snow, you’ll want to ensure yours are working properly. To do this, make sure to inspect your tire tread and tire pressure. You might also consider switching to all-season or winter tires, which is a service our qualified technicians here at Nissan of Clinton in Clinton, NC will more than happily perform for you.
Check Your Cooling System
In order to ensure that your antifreeze is working properly, make sure to check your cooling system for leaks. This will help prevent your windshield from freezing over and obscuring your view of the road.
Inspect Your Brakes
Because roads can become slippery in colder weather, it’s important to get your brakes inspected and replace worn brake pads if necessary. Visit us in the Delway area today to get your brakes thoroughly checked out.
Check Your Wiper Blades
Having well-functioning wiper blades is essential in ensuring that you have optimal visibility in rainy or snowy weather. Be sure to inspect your windshield wiper blades and have them replaced if they are damaged or worn out.
Top Off Your Fluids
The fluids in your Nissan are important in keeping internal parts from freezing. Visit us near Bonnetsville today so we can top off your engine oil, windshield wiper fluid, coolant, and brake fluid.
Inspect Your Heating System
North Carolina can get cold in the fall and winter months, so it’s important than your vehicle’s heating system is working correctly.
Check Your Battery
Cold weather can put stress on car batteries, so it’s important to test your car’s battery to ensure that it can handle colder temperatures.
Examine Your Lights
Since it gets darker earlier in the fall and winter months, and days can often be overcast, it is important to have lights that are working well. Check your headlights, taillights, and turn signals and replace any burnt-out bulbs.
Prepare an Emergency Kit
Accidents can happen, and it’s important that you stay prepared just in case. We recommend that you prepare an emergency kit for your car with essentials you might need if you are left stranded somewhere in the cold. Important items include a blanket and warm clothes, a first aid kit, jumper cables, non-perishable food and water, a flashlight and extra batteries, a phone charger, and paper maps.
Keep Fuel in Your Tank
In colder weather, it’s important to keep your gas tank at least half full. This prevents the fuel lines from freezing.
Prepare for Deicing
Ice and snow can build up on your car in colder months, so it’s important to carry an ice scraper and de-icing spray in your car so that you can tackle frosty days.
