• Thermostat: If the temperature gauge doesn’t get much above the C when driving in cold weather, it may be time for a new thermostat. A properly operating thermostat helps keep the engine at its ideal operating temperature that in turn provides heat for the cabin.
• Antifreeze: In extreme cold, weak antifreeze can freeze up in parts of your engine, and that can lead to disaster.
• Belts: Make sure your belts are tightened properly and in good condition. Cracks are a sign that it’s time for replacement.
• Wiper blades: Cracked, split or worn wiper blades can cause skipping or poor contact with the windshield. Replace them twice a year.
• Fluids: Make sure the power steering, brake and transmission fluids are at their correct level for proper operation.
