Winter Driving Safety Tips

Battery power drops as the temperature drops, test your battery during routine maintenance
Winter tires provide a flexible and deep tread, consider installing them for long-term winter weather conditions
Check the tread on tires, especially if using all-season tires, and replace them if less than 2/32 of an inch
Clear debris, ice and snow from any exterior camera lenses
If snow or ice collects on your vehicle, be sure to remove as much as you can before driving
Clear ice on wiper blades, including rear window blades if applicable
Warm your vehicle prior to driving, but do not run your vehicle in a garage

Do not use cruise control in winter weather conditions
If you happen to skid, steer in the direction of the skid - this will help you stay in your lane when your wheels regain traction
Accelerate slowly and do not get in a hurry
When following vehicles, increase the distance between your vehicle and others by 10 seconds
Only pull off onto the shoulder during an emergency - low visibility means others won't see your vehicle on the shoulder
