How To Stay Safe This Winter Season! | Frederick, MD

Happy December! Can you believe that we’ve already made it to the twelfth month of the year?! We hardly can but we’re ready to celebrate the holiday season and perhaps you can celebrate behind the wheel of a brand new Nissan! But first, we want to talk to you about some great tips and tricks that will help you keep your vehicle in proper working condition all winter long. Whether you’re planning on traveling into cooler temperatures or not, we encourage you to take these tips and put them to good use this holiday season. And of course, if you’re ready to upgrade your ride, hurry on in to see our team at Younger Nissan of Frederick because the Year-End Sales Event is happening right here, right now! 

• Swap out regular tires for winter tires. Snow or not, when temperatures fall below 45 degrees, winter tires are recommended. They’re made to give you better traction while turning or stopping on cold pavement.
• Check your tire pressure weekly. Driving on underinflated tires can cause them to wear down prematurely and lose traction on icy or slippery surfaces. Your tires lose a pound of pressure with every 10-degree drop in temperature.
• Always keep your fuel tank half full. During winter weather, it’s important to keep at least half a tank of fuel in the vehicle in the event of an emergency or if you get stuck in the snow and wait for assistance. 
• Pack an emergency to-go kit. We encourage you to keep an extra coat, blanket, boots, gloves, and a hat inside your vehicle when the temperatures drop. We also recommend keeping a flashlight, first aid kit, and emergency contact information or AAA handy. 
• Protect your windshield wipers. If you park outdoors, leave the wipers in the raised position to prevent them from freezing to the windshield. Never use your wiper blades to remove ice, snow, or frost from the windshield; use an ice scraper instead.
