Nissan Fall Maintenance Tips

The first area that needs maintenance care on your vehicle is the tires. That’s because your tires undergo lots of wear during the summer. You will want to inspect the tread and ensure no excessive wear. At this time, also check the pressure level of each tire. Finally, inspect the sidewalls for any sign of damage. After inspection of the tires, you will want to open the hood and inspect the battery. Check for any signs of corrosion. Corrosion will appear as orange or green spots on the battery casing or the battery terminals. Also, turn on your vehicle and make sure that all the lights are bright. Any dim lights are a sign of a weak battery. Now, take a look at the wiper blades. If any of your windshield wiper blades are bent or have peeling rubber, then they should be replaced right away. Finally, you will want to inspect the HVAC system. Turn on the heater and ensure you can get a steady stream of warm air. Also, check the defroster, seat, and steering wheel warmers.
