Winter Vehicle Maintenance Checklist

Winter weather can present some unique challenges for driving, especially in an SUV. That's why it's important to make sure your vehicle is properly prepared for the cold months ahead. At King Ford in Murphy, NC, we recommend going through this checklist to get your SUV ready to handle winter with ease.

  • Check your tire pressure and tread depth. Consider switching to winter tires for optimal traction on snowy or icy roads.
  • Inspect your wiper blades for wear and make sure your wiper fluid reservoir is filled with winter washer fluid.
  • Have your battery tested. Vehicle batteries work harder in cold weather.
  • Check your coolant levels and be sure to use winter windshield washer fluid to prevent freezing.
  • Assemble a winter emergency kit to keep in your SUV, including warm clothing, a flashlight, snacks, and other essentials.
