Have you visited our dealership for Nissan service recently? As the autumn months come around, you must get your vehicle ready for the cooler temperatures and changing weather. Bedford Nissan recommends servicing your car to prepare for these five fall driving hazards.
School Traffic
Come September, kids will be back in school — which means slowing down and stopping around school zones. Make sure your brakes are in good condition before the semester starts.
Darkness
The sun sets earlier in the day during the fall. Thus, you’ll want to fix any problems with your car’s lights at the beginning of the season if you’re driving at night.
Wet Roads
Autumn often brings rainy weather, making the roads slicker than usual. It’s best to check your tires for any signs of wear and tear and replace them if the tire tread depth is too low. You should also check air pressure occasionally, as cooler temperatures mean tire pressure may decrease more rapidly.
Leaves
When leaves have piled up on the road, your tires aren’t able to contact the road as effectively. That can be a problem if your brakes or tires malfunction. To avoid any stopping problems, have your brakes and tires serviced before autumn hits.
Frost
It can get very chilly during the fall months; as such, you might have to deal with frosted windows. Before autumn gets into full swing, you should make sure your heating system is ready to go. This includes both the internal air conditioner and the defrosters.
