Temperatures are starting to drop here at Fields Lexus of Glenview, which means it’s time to get your car ready for winter. You can do some tasks to winterize your car at home — but don’t forget to visit our Lexus service center and get a full inspection. Here are a few crucial tasks.
Check Your Tires
Many drivers don’t realize that the changing temperatures have a direct impact on their tire pressure. Colder weather lowers your tire pressure, and underinflated tires lead to worse handling and more gas consumption. Check your tire pressure regularly and refill it to the range recommended in your owner’s manual. It’s best to check “cold” tires, or tires that haven’t been driven recently, so doing this test first thing in the morning is easiest.
Get Your Battery Tested
Winter weather makes it harder for your car’s battery to hold a charge, which can lead to a dead battery at the worst times. Have our team inspect your battery to ensure that it’s healthy enough for the weather ahead. Your lights are also especially important during dark winter nights, so give them a good wash and test their brightness.
Prepare Your Interior
Protecting the luxurious interior of your Lexus vehicle from snow, salt, and ice is just as important as protecting the outside. Talk to our team to find out more about ordering rubberized floor mats and other rugged add-ons that help keep your interior snow-free. You may also want to pack a winter first aid kit, including jumper cables and other essential equipment, in case of a breakdown.
