subject: Nissan of Maryland Helps Drivers Get Ready for Winter [print this page] It won't be long now before the temperature drops and winter weather becomes a real issue for Maryland drivers. Extreme changes in temperature often result in car troubles that can wreak havoc on your daily activities. A car or truck that is waylaid by winter conditions may not only create an inconvenient situation but perhaps even a dangerous one. Nissan of Maryland offers the following tips to help drivers get their car ready for winter.
Schedule a service visit- There are several areas of your car that should be checked prior to the first drop in temperature. For most drivers, the best way to ensure your vehicle is ready for winter is by contacting your Maryland Nissan dealer to schedule a service visit. Trained technicians can check all operating systems and equipment to ensure your vehicle is in tip-top shape for the cold months to come. This may include checking belts, hoses, tires and your battery.
Emergency roadside assistance kit- If you don't already have a basic emergency roadside assistance kit prepared and in place in your vehicle, the time to act is now. Beyond the basic items that are handy throughout the year, include in this kit items that are necessary during winter months. This may include extra blankets, emergency candles, ice scraper, extra water bottles and non-perishable food, winter clothing (hat, gloves, scarf) and any other items that might be useful if you find yourself stranded alongside the road.
Check windshield wipers and lights- Nissan of Maryland reminds drivers that the ability to see and be seen is imperative when the weather conditions take a turn for the worse. For this reason all drivers should check the condition of windshield wipers and exterior lights to ensure they are in good working order. Replace worn windshield wipers and any lights that are not working.
