SAFETY TIPS FOR COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Driver Visibility
Poor driver visibility is not only annoying, but extremely unsafe under any circumstance.
Without proper maintenance of visibility-related components, adverse weather conditions
such as rain, snow and frost can seriously reduce visibility. Take time before winter arrives
to check the following:
•
Windshield Wipers
•
Check windshield wiper operation and speeds.
•
Inspect condition and travel of blades. Install new refills for any blades that are
cracked, brittle, torn, or coated with road oil along the wiping edge.
•
Windshield Washers
•
Check operation of windshield washer.
•
Inspect system hoses and replace if brittle or worn.
•
Inspect washer reservoir. Drain and flush if dirt particles are evident in washer
solution.
•
Fill reservoir with water.
•
Heater/Defroster
•
Check operation and blowers for speed control, noise and temperature.
•
Inspect heater core for signs of corrosion and/or leakage.
•
Check that the defroster blend door is operating correctly and that all ducting is
connected properly.
•
Be sure that vents are not obstructed by debris or other objects.
