At Zeigler Holland of Hyundai, we know just how tough a Michigan winter can be. Take care of any nagging issues and make sure your car is ready for snow and ice with a Hyundai service appointment. You can even take care of some winter car care at home, so make a start with these tasks today.
Test Your Battery
The coldest days of winter are just as hard on your battery as the hottest days of the summer, and in freezing temperatures, waiting for a jump can be a lot more dangerous. Have your battery tested to make sure it has the capacity to cruise through the winter, especially if it’s more than three years old. Even if it still has a healthy capacity, issues like corrosion need to be addressed by our team.
Track Your Air Pressure
Many drivers don’t realize how temperatures impact the air pressure of their tires. For every 10 degree drop in the climate, tires lose about 1 PSI of pressure, so if your tires were properly inflated at the beginning of November they may be 2-3 PSI too low by Christmas. You can use a public air compressor to adjust your pressure, but if you consistently are underinflated, you may need a new set of tires.
Pack an Emergency Kit
When the weather hits single digits, having an emergency kit isn’t just an amenity—it’s a necessity. Pack warm clothing, a light source and reflective sign, phone chargers, a first-aid kit, jump cables, and anything else you may need if you’re stranded in your car. Talk to our Hyundai parts team about adding a Hyundai Roadside Emergency Kit to your cabin so you’re always be ready for a snowy breakdown.
