Preparing cars for the cold season and severe frosts
Increase comfort with heated seats!
We sit in the car, and there we are waiting for a cold seat-not the best option, especially for people in age. Come to the rescue-heated seats. Produced as embedded models, and in the form of capes or chair covers, each variety has its advantages. The main thing is that in a few minutes you will be wrapped up in the heat that this device produces. The choice of heating requires close attention on your part, because a poor-quality product does not meet your expectations.

Increase your cross-country ability with snow chains!
Not every road in the teeth of your car. Special winter tires and even spikes on them cannot guarantee the passage of your iron horse through ice and deep snow. To increase the passable ability of the vehicle will be able to special winter snow chains on the wheels. The main purpose of the chains is to improve the adhesion of the wheels of the car to the road, whatever it is covered with: snow, ice or mud.

Charge the battery regularly!
A battery of even proven manufacturers only works fine for the first year, and if it is already 3-4 years old, then, unfortunately, it can fail at the most inopportune moment-many of them know that this happens, usually in the morning after night frost. Battery capacity is significantly reduced at sub-zero temperatures. In addition, due to the increased duration of the dark time of day, everyone is forced to use headlights, and the stove, heated seats, wipers, mirrors and rear window increase power consumption. Avoiding problems with the car battery can be regularly recharging it to its nominal value-this will help modern battery charger.

Store summer tires!
Every winter you have to change tires and leave summer tires in some secluded place. Many do not attach much importance to the storage of tires and throw tires on the balcony or in the garage, and this can adversely affect them, because the garage is often high humidity, and on the balcony sun rays will fall on the rubber. For proper storage it is recommended to use special covers for the wheels. They include 4 covers, each cover has a label for better identification of wheels.
Forget about frozen wipers and icy mirrors!
In the morning, the rear-view mirrors were covered with ice, and the windshield was snow-covered and the wipers were frozen to it? To solve this problem once and for all will be able to heat the wipers and the heating of the mirrors. A cover on the windshield will save a lot of your time, because you don't have to scrape snow and ice from glass every morning.
Small tricks. To keep the wipers from freezing, leave them raised (fully or by inserting a box of matches between the rubber band and the windshield). To make the side mirrors minimally snow-covered and icy, fold them and lower the windows as much as possible.
Preheat the fuel filter!
Any motorist who drives a diesel car faces a variety of problems that make it difficult to start the engine in the cold. If outside temperature is below zero, and the fuel is still summer, then paraffin crystals appear in it, which are made of solarium jelly. The result will be a blockage of the filter, and the throughput will be reduced. Accordingly, the fuel will be bad to the motor and it will stall, because the power will decrease.
If you install a heated fuel filter, you can forget about the problems of starting the engine at any time of the year, including frost. You can also forget about the purchase of special anti-gel additives, as there is a simple and reliable way to heat the filter.
In the rain behind the wheel!
Driving in the rain is a test that is responsible for the driver and driver's skills and equipment cars. The safety of a trip to the rain is made up of many elements of auto equipment. But, it is such a seemingly fine detail, as serviceable, perfectly matched and unworn wipers-the paramount prerequisite for safety on a rainy ride. Having faulty car wipers in the rain is the same as driving without brakes. Therefore, it is important to buy wipers and replace worn ones before bad weather hits you on the way.
