Make use of our handy checklist to ensure winter driving is a piece of cake this year!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Check all of your lights, levels, and tyres regularly. It is important to check your engine coolant levels throughout the winter. Also, remember to check your tyre pressure throughout the winter, even if you have winter wheels and tyres on your vehicle.<\/li>\n
  2. Create a winter safety kit and keep it in your car in case of an emergency. We recommend\u00a0that you include enough blankets to keep you and your passenger warm in very cold conditions, a torch, a warning triangle, and a high visibility\u00a0triangle<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. It could be sensible to consider investing in winter tyres for your vehicle. Grip could be all that stands between you and an insurance claim.. or worse. We have a full range of winter tyres\u00a0available\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Keep-icer in your car to make your mornings easier when scraping the ice\u00a0off your windscreen and lights. We now offer an AUTOGLYM winter care package which includes de-icer, screen wash, ice-scraper, and a hi-tech interior microfibre\u00a0cloth, all for the low price of \u00a313<\/a>!<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Be gentle when washing away the salt and grit from wintery roads that have accumulated on your Porsche. Using a pressure washer risks damaging paint by embedding the salt and grit into the paintwork.<\/li>\n
  6. Thanks to advancements in the last 15 years, Porsches are now equipped with PSM (Porsches name for Electronic Stability Control). This makes them much safer to drive in adverse conditions than their reputation previously suggested. They are sports cars after all, but with PSM that changes (kind of).PSM doesn’t take away from the fun of driving a Porsche, whilst still offering support that could stop you having a really bad day. Safety has to trump everything in the winter months, there is a reason motorcyclists shelve their bikes as the temperature plummets.A great stability control system is one that modulates engine power to the wheels instead of shutting it down completely, which unsettles the vehicle and startles the driver. The PSM does a wonderful job, allowing just the right amount of power in almost all situations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
