AAA has issued a Michigan statewide arctic air advisory as temperatures hover in the teens and single digits over the next couple of days.
With wind chills dipping into the negative numbers, those extremely cold temps can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s functionality. AAA is offering some tips to help motorists keep their vehicles road ready during the cold weather.
To start, make sure your battery is fully charged, keep your gas tank at least half full to avoid gas line freeze-up. Use a windshield washer fluid with a solvent that wont freeze. You can also keep car doors from freezing shut by placing a plastic trash bag between the door or window glass and the frame and postpone car washes until temps rise above freezing. Another reminder… always travel with a cell phone and a car charger.
