Service

• 1. Before you go - Wet-weather driving demands gentle use of all the main controls - steering, clutch, brake and accelerator - and a larger allowance for errors and emergencies. Remember wet shoes can slip on the pedals. Check headlights, tail lights, brake lights and indicators are all working properly.
• 2. How are your tyres? - Check your tyres on a regular basis. Bald tyres significantly reduce your traction on wet road, and offer little resistance to aquaplaning. When your tyres run over water, the water is displaced and it needs somewhere to go quickly. The best place is between the treads of your tyres. If your tyres are bald, the water has no place to go and you end up riding on a layer of water, like a boat.
• 3. Turn on your wipers - Replace your wipers regularly, at least once a year. Wiper blades in bad condition don't clear water from the windshield very well and distort your view. Older vehicles may need to have the whole wiper arm replaced. The arms bend over time and sometimes can't keep enough downward pressure to clear the windscreen, even with new blades installed.
• 4. Turn on your lights - Whenever visibility is poor or it rains, headlights are a good way to let other drivers know where you are.
• 5. Foggy windows - Rain or high humidity can quickly cause windows to mist up inside the car. In a car equipped with air conditioning, turn up the heat and direct the airflow to your defrosters with the AC switch engaged. Drivers should regularly clean their windshield and windows, both on the inside and outside, to help them see in good and bad weather. Smokers need to take extra care to make sure their interior windows are clear of a buildup of smoke residue.
• 6. Brake earlier and with less force than you would normally.
• 7. Don't use cruise control. If you hydroplane, there's the chance your car could actually accelerate. Cruise control also allows drivers to be less vigilant and to take their foot away from the pedals — not a great idea when reaction time is so important.
• 8. Don't attempt to cross running water
• 9. After you cross a puddle, tap on your brake pedal lightly to dry off some of the water on your rotors.
• 10. Reduce speed. Speed limits are based on normal road and weather conditions, not rainy conditions
• 11. If vehicle begins to skid, steer in direction of slide and slowly remove foot from accelerator
