Your Chevy dealership knows that winter driving can be treacherous at times. As a result, we’d like to offer some winter driving tips to help you stay safe on the roads.
1. Be prepared. Make sure you have your car tested before winter or do it now if you didn’t do it before it started getting cold. Have the battery, tires, wipers, coolant, heater and other fluids checked to ensure everything is in proper working order.
2. Keep emergency materials with you. In case you get stuck, you’ll be glad if you have some essential items, including a first aid kit, extra clothing, shovel and a flashlight. Also, cat litter is ideal for putting under your tire to help your car gain traction on the snow and ice and get unstuck.
3. Slow down. You never know when you’re going to hit a patch of black ice. By slowing down, you are more likely to maintain control of your vehicle and prevent sliding.
4. Get some gadgets. A GPS device can help prevent you from getting lost and it can help you find help if you get stuck. With a car from your Union area Chevrolet dealer, you can get the OnStar system and get emergency help with the push of a button.
