Tires, lights and Co.: Car fit for winter: These checks are important

As winter sets in, driving conditions become more challenging, and DEKRA recommends checking several key aspects of your vehicle to ensure safe driving. The battery should be checked to ensure it is sufficiently charged, as cold weather can reduce its capacity. Additionally, drivers should verify that their lighting system, including headlights, is functioning properly and correctly adjusted.

Other essential checks include ensuring the windshield is clean and clear, wipers are functioning properly, and tires are suitable for winter driving, with a minimum tread depth of 4mm and marked with a snowflake symbol.
