Slippery times: Winterise your car

Is your car ready for winter? To drive safely in cold, icy and snowy conditions, it is essential that you check your vehicle's suitability for winter. Is the battery still powerful and are the lights working? Are the windscreen antifreeze and operating fluids topped up? Do you have an ice scraper, de-icer and snow chains with you? We have everything you need for a winter-ready car.

More power for your car

The vehicle battery loses power due to the cold. This is why it often happens that the car won't start at low temperatures in winter. You can counteract this by measuring the battery and replacing or charging it if necessary. In an emergency, a mobile jump starter can also help you.

Top up the operating fluids

Just before the first drop in temperature, you need to add enough antifreeze to the coolant and windscreen wiper system. If you want to do something good for the engine, top up the engine oil too

For good visibility

For a clear view, you need clear windows and good light.
You therefore need an ice scraper (preferably with a glove), snow whisk, torch and windscreen de-icer in your car. It's best to keep the door lock de-icer in the house or in your bag.

For all vehicle lighting

Free drive

If a lot of snow falls overnight, you may have to shovel the tyres free in the morning and clear the snow from your car roof and windows. To prevent this from happening in the first place, you can protect your car with a car cover. Suitable snow chains are very important and, depending on the region, also mandatory.

For more space in the car

Proper storage of skis, snowboards and luggage is a very important matter on slippery roads
. Thanks to the roof box and winter sports carrier, you have more space in the car and your load is also safely stowed away.
