Every winter, drivers in Grand Rapids are faced with some type of extreme weather condition. If you want to reduce your stress this season and increase your safety, these easy-to-do tips may help.
This is an ideal time to check your roadside emergency kit. Your kit should include an extra ice scraper, warm clothing, non-perishable food items, essential medications, a flashlight and extra batteries. The items will ensure that you're better prepared and safe if you're stranded due to a vehicle breakdown. Keep your fuel tank at least half-full to reduce condensation, which can cause the fuel lines to freeze and prevent your engine from overturning.
Additionally, make sure that your basic maintenance is up-to-date such as an oil change, tire rotation, coolant flush and battery maintenance. Your vehicle is more vulnerable during winter and being up-to-date lessens the risk of a breakdown. Fox Hyundai's service department can help you with any maintenance.
