Avoid contact with corrosive deposits and battery acid. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves. To prevent scratching, never use a dry rag. Exhaust System - Your vehicle should be placed on a lift and the exhaust system examined for leaks. The trunk and floor boards should be inspected for small holes.
Exhaust fumes can be deadly.
Tires - Worn tires will be of little use in winter weather. Check tire pressures once a month. Rotate as recommended. Don't forget your spare, and be sure the jack is in good condition. Carry emergency gear - gloves, boots, blankets, flares, a small shovel, sand or kitty litter, tire chains, and a flash light.
