π₯Ά FREE FALL MAINTENANCE SERIES #6: HEATING & DEFROST
Boyertown drivers, is your heater ready for winter?
Your vehicle's heater does more than keep you warm. Your defroster helps keep your windows clear so you can see where you're going.
Here are a few things worth checking before the really cold weather arrives.
π₯ IS YOUR HEATER BLOWING WARM AIR?
If your car takes too long to warm up or the air never gets very warm, there could be a problem with the thermostat, coolant level or heater core.
π¨ IS YOUR BLOWER FAN WORKING?
Weak airflow or a fan that only works on certain speeds could point to a blower motor, resistor or clogged cabin air filter.
πͺ ARE YOUR WINDOWS CLEARING PROPERLY?
Your front and rear defrosters need to work when frost, fog and freezing temperatures arrive. If your windshield keeps fogging up or won't clear, don't ignore it.
π SMELL SOMETHING SWEET INSIDE THE CAR?
A sweet antifreeze smell, damp carpet or windows fogging on the inside can be signs of a leaking heater core. These symptoms can have other causes, too, so it's worth having them checked.
β οΈ DON'T WAIT FOR THE COLDEST MORNING!
A heater or defroster problem is more than an inconvenience. Poor visibility can make driving dangerous.
