Jeep® Service 101: 3 Winterizing Tips for New Richmond, WI

The winter season is here. While that means beautiful snowy landscapes and all the fun of the holidays, it also means seriously cold temperatures and, oftentimes, dangerous driving conditions. We encourage you to prepare your vehicle with Jeep® service at Bernard’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM.

Inspect Your Tires

With our snowy winters, you want to make sure that you have adequate tire tread, which can provide the traction you need on slick surfaces. Typically, you need at least 6/32 of an inch of tread for snowy or icy roads. We recommend replacing your tires with winter tires specially designed to provide the grip you need.

Check Your Lights

Winter visibility is also crucial for driving safety. Between falling snow, sleet, and less daylight hours, your headlights are crucial. Check your headlights to ensure that they are both working. You also want to check each of your taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and hazard lights, because it’s equally important that others can see you.

Replace Your Windshield Wipers

When you drive in snow, it can be difficult to see, especially with other vehicles kicking it up on the highway. For your safety, your windshield wipers need to be in their best condition so that they can clear your windshield properly. If you haven’t recently, you need to replace your wipers. Double-check that your defroster works efficiently, and top off your windshield wiper fluid.
