When driving in the rain never use your cruise control. If your vehicle begins to hydro-plane and lose traction it will cause your wheels to increase speed dramatically. This condition can cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
Maintenance Tip
Extreme weather conditions can breakdown the vital fluids your vehicle depends on for optimal performance. You need to have all of your vehicle fluids checked on a regular basis. Most people remember to change their oil but they may not think to check the condition of their engine coolant, brake and transmission fluids along with the water level in the battery.
Handy Hint
Don’t you just hate it when you fill up at the pump and then your hands are smelling like a tipped over gas can? Instead of smelling like an oil refinery, always stash a few handy-wipes in your glove box. This way you can clean the fuel smell from your hands after filling your tank.
