Local Driving Conditions to Watch
AC Performance
Warm weather makes weak AC performance more noticeable.
Rain and Tires
Wet roads make tire tread and brake condition more important.
Daily Traffic
Stop-and-go driving can increase brake and fluid wear.
Cooling System

Long Trips
Road trips are a good time to check fluids, tires, battery, belts, hoses, and warning lights.
