How to Maintain Your Car in Winter?

Winter car maintenance focuses on the wipers and windshield, as well as the body and chassis. Here is a detailed introduction to winter car maintenance: Wipers and Windshield: Due to weather conditions, wipers often stick to the windshield in winter. Do not force them off. Instead, turn on the car's air conditioning, set it to blow mode, and direct it toward the windshield to raise its temperature. This also helps check whether the heating system is functioning properly. Regularly clean the heating system to ensure good air quality inside the car. Body and Chassis: The car's exterior inevitably gets damaged while driving, and even when parked. In winter, with rain and snow, the car's surface is prone to corrosion. Roads are often treated with salt to melt snow quickly, and the tires can splash salt-laden snow water onto the chassis, causing rust. Therefore, before winter arrives, thoroughly inspect the car's body, repair any scratches promptly, and apply wax in early winter to protect the paint. A waxed body is less likely to get damp, and the chances of ice forming on the car in winter are significantly reduced. Additionally, perform anti-rust maintenance on the vehicle's chassis to extend its lifespan.
