Is Your Ford Ready for Extreme Weather Conditions?

Fall and winter bring in cooler temperatures, but often, such conditions become extreme, causing damage to your vehicle. As we prepare for the cooler and, perhaps, freezing temperatures during fall and winter, let’s talk about your Ford and how you can get it ready for dangerous road conditions.

Cold weather can turn rain into sleet, which can cause icy and slippery roads, making your travels more challenging. Snow can also cause dangerous road conditions that you need to prepare for.

Having a checklist for your vehicle makes traveling under extreme weather conditions easier, giving you more peace of mind and the confidence you need to get to your destinations safely and efficiently.

Tips on Preparing Your Ford for Fall and Winter

If you live or travel in places with extreme road and weather conditions during fall and winter, you must ensure your vehicle is ready. To get started, you can follow some of the tips below:

Check your tires. Ensure they have the right pressure as recommended by Ford for your specific model without holes, tire wear, or any other damage that can compromise your safety. It would be best to replace them with snow tires for better grip and traction on slippery roads.

Ensure your battery, brakes, lights, turning signals, wipers, and heating system are all working properly. Check your dashboard for any warning signals you need to address before heading out.

Make sure your gas tank is half-full or full if you’re traveling long-distance. At the same time, your fluids must be adequately filled and your oil changed as scheduled. If you drive an electric vehicle, ensure your battery is fully charged.

Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle, which includes your medicine, water, snacks, warm blankets, flashlights, extra batteries, a First Aid Kit, an extra change of clothes, phone chargers, and other necessities during travels.
