Three Key Winter Driving Checks

Before heading out in cold weather, always check:

• Tyre pressure – Cold temperatures reduce pressure, affecting grip and handling.
• Coolant levels – Ensures your vehicle stays protected against freezing.
• Windscreen washer levels – Essential for visibility during snow, salt, and slush.

You can also select the appropriate drive mode on your BYD model to enhance control and stability in slippery conditions.
