You are probably aware that driving in Iceland during winter can be a real challenge, which means that you need to prepare your vehicle before taking the trip. Here are some small tips that will help you with that:
Tires
The replacement of summer tires is obviously one of the most important steps in preventing problems in traffic, but unfortunately, statistics show that a large part of the drivers still neglects this obligation. Winter tires show better properties, especially when it comes to reducing the stopping distance on wet and snowy surfaces.
Battery
It should be taken into account that during the winter months you will use the heaters very frequently which puts extra effort on the car battery, which already lost some of its power output due to the exposure to low temperatures.
Finally, do not forget to take your vehicle to a winter inspection and prepare it for the season.
Other tips for staying safe on the road:
Keep your windshield clean with high quality washer fluids.
Regularly check your tires for correct pressure and tread depth.
Do not delay getting your oil changed.
Put away or turn off your mobile device and other distractions.
