Is Your Vehicle Prepared for Fall?

IS YOUR VEHICLE PREPARED FOR FALL? ROTATE YOUR TIRES Your owner's manual will likely include the recommended interval for tire rotations- typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Regular rotations help the tires wear evenly over their lifespan, particularly if you have a front-wheel drive vehicle, and can prevent front-end misalignment. TEST YOUR HEATER Make sure your heater is in working order, and that your defroster is operational. TRY YOUR WINDSHIELD WIPERS Well-functioning wipers are critical to maintaining good visibility in poor weather. Before the rainy season hits in full force, take a few minutes to make sure your wipers still have good grip, and replace them if necessary. LISTEN FOR UNUSUAL SOUNDS Be aware of new sounds and vibrations. Take a few minutes to roll down your windows as you're driving around town, and listen for anything out of the ordinary. Squeaks, rattles, and knocks should be investigated and diagnosed. CHECK YOUR CABIN FILTER For extra protection against allergens and airborne road pollution, consider installing a good quality cabin filter. Ragweed pollen, mold, and dust mites are common fall allergy triggers, and a cabin filter can help remove particles from your cabin and keep you feeling healthier. www.KNFILTERS.COM
