5 Winter Car Care Tips

Winters are approaching in about a month. Bangalore doesn't get as chilling as the northern parts of the country. But temperatures, as we know, could plummet to nine to ten degrees Celsius. A considerable temperature drop can affect your car's health. Here are some quick and straightforward winter car care tips that can help.

1.    Tire Pressure Inspection

During winter, the tire pressure decreases. Driving on a low-pressure tire can affect the car's overall performance. Hence, to help your car tires perform optimally, check tire pressure more frequently than you would usually do.

2.   Battery Health

Temperature drops can affect your car's battery health. If your car battery is running low on juices or about to deplete completely, it is likely to discharge during winter.

Freezing the battery's distilled water can cause permanent or irreparable damage to the cells. Look for common signs like lights flickering, start-up problems, non-functioning cabin lights, etc. It would help you get your battery checked to avoid such concerns. Besides, wait about four to five minutes after starting the car in the morning to let the engine heat up adequately.

3.   Windshield Checks

Mist, fog, and smoke accumulate over the windshield during winters, affecting visibility. Fog usually accumulates due to a temperature difference between the car's inner and outer environment. Thus, it requires minimizing the temperature difference. You may also prevent fogging with a dehumidifier pack in the cabin.

4.   Monitoring the Coolant Level

Coolant, as you know, is a green-colored liquid that maintains the engine's temperature and regulates the engine. In winter, the liquid's chemicals prevent the engine from jamming or freezing. Thus, you must maintain the right coolant levels to avoid letting the engine freeze during winter.

5.   Headlights and Fog Lamp Health

Fog isn't as common in the southern parts of India. But fog can affect visibility, especially while driving across mountainous regions. Maintaining fog lights is essential to cut through the fog, drive safely, and ensure your vehicle lights are visible to others. Take care of these factors before you set yourself on long journeys.
