The best way to Prepare Your Car for Winter

• Australia is a rather large country with varying
  climates. For those located in the Southwest, the
  weeks leading to winter is a time to prepare for
  the unexpected. weatherproofing your home would
  be a wise decision. However, your car should get
  a lot of consideration as well to make traveling
  for you a comfortable cold climate experience.
  What's worse than getting car hassle midway to
  your destination? Getting car trouble midway to
  your desired destination in cold weather. Here
  are a couple great ideas to prepare your car for
  the winter

1. Check the status of your car's battery. 1.
Check the condition of your car's battery.

• Lead acid Battery packs have an working
  temperature range for them to function
  effectively. When the temperature drops, your car
  motor would usually crank more slowly because the
  battery is reduce in creating the electrons
  required that fuels the starter motor of your
  automobile. batteries work via chemical reactions
  taking place within it, and these reactions are
  affected by cold weather. If your battery is
  nearing the end of its useful life (3-5 years),
  and you feel that your motor is getting a bit to
  come to a roaring start, consider changing your
  old battery with a new one. Even if you're
  battery is old or new, though, you should check
  if the terminals are free from accrued sulfur,
  which is the byproduct of the battery's chemical
  processes. Sulfur deposits may bring about
  insufficient voltage for the electrical systems
  of the car.

2. Examine your tires for wear.

• Cool weather affects tires, too, leading to low
  tire pressure. Have them checked at your common
  petrol station or by a tire supplier.
  Under-inflated tires contribute to reduce fuel
  consumption and lesser road traction. Be aware
  that during cold weather wet driving conditions
  may be the norm therefore you need your tires to
  be in great condition to avoid slipping off the
  road, which is, of course, not good for you or
  your passengers.

3. Change worn-out windshield wipers.

• Windshield wiper blades are intended to be
  changed, at the very least, once every year. Just
  like your tires, wiper blades are manufactured
  from rubber which means they get worn out.
  Worn-out wipers don't make contact with the
  windshield. You may see them move the normal way,
  but the water it's meant to wipe away will stay
  on. Chipped, uneven wipers are even worse
  instead of wiping away rain water cleanly, the
  uneven surface leaves dirty lines on the glass
  (rainwater dust mud). You don't want to drive
  with that on your windshield.

4. Improve your road emergency equipment.

• In addition to your standard hassle shooting kit,
  you might want some extra emergency things
  helpful in your car during winter weather. Some
  warm clothing, for commencers, should be stashed
  somewhere in the cabin if you are forced to
  spend a chilly evening in a damaged down car
  beside the road, you will need it. A blanket
  would also be a good idea. If you don't have a
  flashlight yet, make sure to buy one and place it
  inside the glove compartment. ensure that your
  mobile phone's car adapter is onboard at all
  times, especially during the winter season.
