Winter maintenance
A well-maintained vehicle will usally start in all weather conditions.
Carry emergency supplies. These should include:
- a shovel
- booster cables
- emergency flares or warning lights
- a blanket
- a chain for towing.
Always carry extra windshield washer fluid in the winter and refill the container when necessary.
Faulty exhaust systems are especially dangerous in the winter when drivers are more likely to drive with windows and vents closed. Have your exhaust checked if it sounds noisy or rattles.
