As winter weather approaches, now is the time to make sure your vehicle is ready for the road. Preparing ahead helps keep you, your passengers, and others on the road safe all season long.

Steps to get :
• Clear snow and ice from your vehicle
• Confirm your heater and defroster are working
• Install winter tires or ensure your tread is deep enough
• Keep your gas tank near full to prevent fuel line freeze

If conditions are hazardous, postpone non-essential travel whenever possible.
Stay safe, stay prepared, and learn more at Ready.gov/winter-ready
