Cold Winters: Preparing Your Chevy and GMC
Winter in Oklahoma can bring icy roads and freezing temperatures. These conditions demand thorough preparation for your Chevy or GMC. Winterizing your vehicle is essential, including checking your tire tread, ensuring your antifreeze levels are adequate, and testing your battery. By taking these steps, you can improve traction and reliability, ensuring your vehicle performs at its best even in challenging conditions.
Wet-Weather Driving and Flood Safety
Rain and flooding require different precautions. Keep tires, brakes, lights and wipers properly maintained for wet-weather driving, but do not treat maintenance, four-wheel drive or an SUV or truck body as protection against floodwater. Never drive onto a flooded roadway. Turn around and choose another route. Follow road closures and local emergency instructions. See Ready.gov flood-safety guidance for official precautions.
