How to prepare your car for winter? [video]

Winter is a test for a car. It detects both service malfunctions and the driver's inattention to the vehicle. What is especially important when preparing a car for the winter period?

The battery is the basis in winter. If earlier it was not fully functional and we had problems starting the car, then you can be sure that it will let us down in the cold. When the car won't start, the worst solution is to run it on the so-called pride. “This can lead to a loss of time and, as a result, to engine failure,” warns Stanisław Dojs from Volvo Auto Polska. It is much safer to start the car with jumper cables. 

During this period, drivers often neglect air conditioning. Associated with summer. However, you need to take care of it all year round. If it works, “at low temperatures, the windows in the car will not fog up,” says an expert at infoWire.pl. If a large amount of moisture gets into the car interior, it is worth replacing the cabin filter.

In winter, don't forget to wash your car. The roads are strewn with chemicals that have a detrimental effect on the body of the car. Therefore, when there is no frost, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the car, including the chassis, which is most in contact with the “dirty” surface.

An ice scraper and a snow brush are the most important car accessories in winter. Don't skimp on an ice scraper. Poor quality of the item may cause scratches on the glass. It is also worth buying window sprays, thanks to which they do not have to be cleaned at all, the expert adds.

Most cars open with a remote control, which does not mean that we will always get inside without any problems. Frozen doors can be a problem. To prevent this from happening, it is good to preserve the fillings before winter.
