Following a few auto care visibility tips can be illuminating,
helping to ensure the safety of you, your passengers and other vehicles
around you.
- Replace any exterior or interior lights that are
dimming, rapidly blinking or non-functioning, and be sure headlights are
correctly aimed.
- Make sure that vehicle mirrors are clean and properly positioned.
- Check windshield washer fluid level and when it gets low, replace it.
- Replace
wiper blades if they show cracking or if they chatter or streak when
operating. Don’t forget to check the rear wiper blade.
- When
in doubt, turn your lights on to help you see and help other drivers
see you. Some states have laws that require headlights to be on when
windshield wipers are operating.
- Don’t overdrive your
headlights. Maintain a speed that will allow you to stop within the
illuminated area, otherwise you create a blind crash zone in front of
your vehicle.
