  • Clean terminals: Ensure the battery terminals are clean and free from corrosion.
  • Charge level: Ensure it’s fully charged, especially for short trips where it might not recharge fully.

  • Clean lenses: Remove grime to improve visibility.
  • Test the heater: Ensure the cabin heating works efficiently.

  • Winter-grade oil: If necessary, switch to thinner oil as recommended for cold climates.
