As the temperature dips down so does the conditions of the roads. The pot holes, salt, and overall traction of the road can increase the risk and danger of driving in these winter months. We have a couple tip for you and your Mercedes-Benz:
- Check your antifreeze levels: The way you can do this is purchasing an antifreeze tester at your local auto parts store, or let our world class trained technicians look at if for you. In the winter you should have a mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% water in your radiator. Making sure your antifreeze levels are correct protect the water in your radiator from freezing. This mixture will not freeze until 34 degrees below zero. So drivers should be safe here in Westchester county.
- Check Tire Pressure: As the temperature drops so does your tire pressure. The air in your tires condenses and therefore the pressure goes down. A properly inflated tire has the best contact with the road, keeping you and your Mercedes-Benz safer in winter road conditions.
- The Little Things: Inspects hoses, belts, wipers, fluids, and battery levels. Make sure your wipers are functional and should be replaced every 3-6 months. Be sure to checks belts and hoses for cracks. If you need help with this be sure to speak to one of your service advisers
- Heaters & Defrosters: Imagine a winter with out either of these? Make sure they are both functioning properly before the temperature really starts to drop.
