CAA Saskatchewan’s Top Ten List: Winterizing your Vehicle To help with your vehicle’s performance during the winter months, CAA Saskatchewan encourages motorists to follow these important tips: 1. Test your battery. Colder temperatures can weaken the battery and cause it to fail. 2. Test your block heater and cord. When the temperature falls below -15 degrees C, it’s important to plug in. 3. Test your engine coolant. Your vehicle needs the correct amount and strength for optimal performance. 4. Check your cooling system. Ensure there are no cracks in the hoses, or coolant leaks. 5. Check your tire pressure. The right pressure is important for traction and fuel efficiency. 6. Check the ignition system. Replace spark plugs as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. 7. Check brakes. Pulling, a soft pedal, or unusual squealing or grinding may mean repairs are needed. 8. Check the exhaust system. Leaks could send carbon monoxide into your vehicle. 9. Check your washer fluid. It should be rated in the -40 degrees C temperature range. 10. Perform a seasonal vehicle inspection. This will help keep your vehicle trouble free.
