Battery and Coolant this Winter Season

The winter season often brings treacherous driving circumstances which can be particularly threatening to your safety and the safety of your passengers. Instead of leaving your safety up to chance consider being a little more prepared for the season and do your part to maximize your safety and minimize your risk of being involved in a collision or becoming stranded.

One of the most common car problems during the winter season is a dead battery. The cold temperatures can be especially taxing on the battery and force it to work harder than at any other point during the year. If your battery isn’t in tip top shape then it is absolutely at a disadvantage and is at a higher risk of failing you when you need it most. Make sure your battery is well prepared and is capable of holding a charge. The battery on your Toyota Corolla car St Louis is of high quality. However batteries are not meant to last forever. Take your Toyota Corolla into your local Toyotadealer to have the battery checked. If the battery is in need of replacing they can do it for a minimal fee and in very little time.

Many drivers don’t think to check the cooling system. However, this system will be imperative to proper operation of your Toyota Corolla. Check the radiator and the hoses and complete system for any leaks. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration suggests having your coolant flushed and replaced with temperature specific water/ coolant mixture per the recommendations in your owner’s manual. It is also suggested that you check the coolant fluid level on a regular basis throughout the entire winter season.
