Whether we like it or not, winter is here to stay. At Zimbrick Honda, we want to make sure you are safe this season. Now is a great time to do some seasonal maintenance on your vehicle to help you minimize cold weather troubles.

9 tips that can improve your safety this season:

• Antifreeze
  The right antifreeze prevents corrosion in the cooling system. It is important to use the right one for your vehicle. Ask your service advisor what he would recommend.
• Defrost Your Windows
  Use the A/C to defrost. The cool air will dry the air and remove the moisture quicker.
• Turn Your Wipers Off
  Ensure your wipers are off when you turn off your vehicle. Wipers can break if forced when vehicle starts.
• Replace Your Wipers
  Check windshield wipers and replace if necessary.
• Battery
  Let your car run for 30 seconds to 1 minute when the weather is cold. It allows the battery to recover.
• Trunk
  Check that you have a working jack and wheel brace.
• Treads
  Check the condition, pressure and tread depth. Replace tires or switch out to winter or all-season tires.
• Snow Removal
  Make sure you have a scraper/brush in your trunk for snow removal.
• Visibility
  Check that all lights work and are clean.
