Winter is quickly approaching and that means fewer hours of daylight. To be sure you can be seen by others and your visibility is not compromised, check your vehicle\u2019s lights and wipers, says the non-profit Car Care Council.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe days are getting shorter, so it is a good time to check that your vehicle\u2019s wipers and lighting are working properly because the chance of an accident increases if you can\u2019t see or be seen,\u201d said Nathan Perrine, executive director, Car Care Council. \u201cFrom the driver\u2019s seat you may not notice a light that isn\u2019t working, so check all of your car\u2019s lights and replace those that are out. Also, be sure to inspect and replace wiper blades so you can see clearly when wet weather hits.\u201d<\/p>\n

The wiper system keeps excessive water, snow and dirt from building up on the windshield, maintaining clear visibility. Many factors can accelerate the replacement interval of wipers, including operating conditions (winter conditions are tough on wiper blades), frequency of use, material and type of wipers and sunny weather. In fact, wiper blades can deteriorate faster and need more frequent replacement in desert states.<\/p>\n

Lights are normal wear items that require periodic inspection and replacement. The lighting system provides nighttime visibility; signals and alerts other drivers; and supplies light for viewing instruments and the vehicle\u2019s interior. In addition to replacing dimming, rapidly blinking and non-functioning lights, the following tips can help keep you safe:\u00a0<\/p>\n
