Changing weather and road conditions can make routine vehicle inspection more important.
Tires and wheels
Review tire condition, wear, pressure and any seasonal requirements. Follow the vehicle and tire manufacturer specifications rather than using a generic pressure recommendation.
Visibility and lighting
Inspect windshield wipers, exterior lights and washer fluid. Poor visibility can make ordinary driving more difficult in rain or winter weather.
Fluids and filtration
Check the maintenance schedule and recommended oil, coolant and filtration service intervals. Automotive fluids have specifications that should not be guessed.
Safety and service
If you notice unusual sounds, handling, braking or temperature warnings, seek an appropriate inspection rather than relying on a checklist alone.
