As the temperatures drop and the leaves turn, remember to prepare your vehicle for the change in seasons. A few simple steps will ensure that your Cadillac keeps running at its best this fall and beyond.

Preventive maintenance
To make sure your vehicle is ready for fall, bring in your vehicle for a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection. This inspection will check on seasonal items like wiper blades, tires, fluids and more that can ensure you stay on the road problem-free.

Some other things to think about before cold weather arrives:

• Check tire pressure often. Cold weather can reduce the pressure, which can decrease fuel efficiency.
• It may be necessary to change the grade of your engine oil. Make sure you are using the proper oil for your vehicle in cold weather.
• Check wiper blades. They wear out over time and should be replaced so you can see clearly, even in poor weather conditions.
• Battery. Cold weather can decrease battery efficiency, so have yours checked to make sure it’s functioning properly before cold weather arrives.

Safety measures
Make sure that you’re prepared by having some safety items in your vehicle in case they’re ever needed. Some things that can be helpful include:

• Flashlight
• Jumper cables
• Small tool kit
• Vehicle jack and lug wrench
• Small fire extinguisher
• Heavy-duty ice scraper and snow brush
• First-aid kit
• Blanket
