The vice president of the National Automobile Union, Jan Haytseer, advised motorists to prepare their cars for the switch to warmer months. A careful spring check is prudent before the spring-summer driving period begins.
Key tasks include inspecting the cooling system and removing winter-specific equipment that drivers often leave in place, such as extra mufflers or heating devices used during cold weather.
With the shift to summer tires coming sooner than many expect, attention should be given to tires and overall handling. In cold, wet conditions winter tires can feel unstable, while in hot weather the grip and steering response can change, making it important to ensure tires are suited to the upcoming season.
Regular spring maintenance remains essential for keeping a vehicle resilient in the changing environment, reducing the risk of wear and surprises on the road.
And a thorough spring wash is beneficial as well. Dirt, slush, and road chemicals commonly accumulate during winter and can cause corrosion and paint damage if left unattended. Routine maintenance helps drivers endure the harsher spring conditions more confidently.
