Precautions for parking in snowy weather are as follows: Do not use the handbrake: In snowy or rainy weather, after driving, there may be some water accumulation in the brake discs and calipers. If the handbrake is applied, the accumulated water may freeze when the temperature drops at night. When starting the vehicle the next day, this can easily damage the braking system. Depending on the slope of the road, you can choose to leave the car in forward or reverse gear. For automatic transmission cars, bricks or wooden blocks can be placed under the wheels. Protect the headlights and windows: After a night of snowfall, the windshield may be covered with a thick layer of snow, making it troublesome to clean the next morning. Before parking, you can place a large dry towel on the glass, so that the next morning you can simply remove the towel. At the same time, the headlights should also be protected. In snowy weather, the low temperature can cause snow on the headlights to freeze, making it difficult to clean when needed. Avoid using car covers if possible: Many people buy car covers for their vehicles, but it is best not to use them in heavy snowfall. The accumulated snow can become very thick and heavy, making it difficult to remove the cover when you need to use the car. Even if you manage to remove the cover forcibly, it may damage the cover.
