4 – PAY ATTENTION TO TIRES
Move the car once a week as mentionned to change the support point of your tires. That will avoid your tires from being stressed and also deformed. Same apply to store your winter tires.
However, check the tire pressure often as this can impact handling, wear and driving quality. As temperature finally gets better, pressure is also changing (law of physics!) and needs to be adjusted.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS:
When the main computer detects a problem, a light on the dashboard turns on. In some vehicles, a red light indicates issues that need immediate attention. In others, if the check engine light is flashing, the problem could also lead to serious damage. Your certified NAPA AUTOPRO technician will use a scan tool to get the diagnostic trouble code(s) of a defective part or component.

**For accurate warning light meanings, please refer to your vehicles owner manual**

Tips for keeping your car in good condition during COVID-19.
Tip #3: Mind the brakes
If your vehicle is parked for a while, some rust may be now covering your brake system.
1 – Start slowly and perform a few brakes pressing gently on the pedal. This will remove rust on the surface of the rotor.
2- if the noise does not stop after a few brakes, rust has probably damaged more that just your rotor and you should perform a brake service.
3 – Hand brake: It’s best not to use the hand brake unless your vehicle is parked on a slope. When the hand brake is engaged, the cable that connects to the back axle tightens. If the hand brake is engaged for a long period of time, problems may arise when it is released.

#2: Keep your fuel tank full
Empty tank may be a source of issues during long period.
The fuel tank should never be left empty or at the reserve level, as it may deteriorate. Ideally, your vehicle should have at least half a tank of fuel.

Tips for keeping your car in good condition during COVID-19.

#1- Start your car at least once a week:
This will allow the car fluids to circulate, especially the lubricant, thus protecting all of the engine components. Also, it will help keep your battery charged.
Avoid short trips (less than 5 km). Going to the grocery? Try to find a way to drive at least 10-15km (even more): it will remove water from your exhaust and your engine will reach its optimal temperature.
