Sticking to a seasonal schedule when it comes to maintaining your vehicle will ensure your car stays in tip-top shape. Here are some tips on how to maintain your car in the autumn.
Fallen leaves during this season can sometimes lead to a loss of traction. You should check or tires (or have them checked) to make sure you have proper tread. The best tires are those that offer maximum grip when it comes to wet weather. Always slow down before turning, and maintain a consistent, safe speed. Never make sudden movements when turning the wheel, and brake only in a straight line, and never during a turn. Increasing the distance between you and other cars will also help prevent accidents.
Autumn is also a great opportunity to change your cabin air filter. The air filter helps prevent allergens from entering the ventilation system. A clean filter purifies the air and filters out dust, pollen and other contaminants. Have your wiper blades checked so they work in case of a day or two of rainfall. Your vehicle's cooling and engine system are the bread and butter of your car. Deposits can build up and restrict the flow of liquid, which is important to keep your car running. The fall is a good time to check your power steering. Steering will become hard if there is dirty, low and old fluid draining the power.
