Seasons are changing, so are the months which means those weather conditions are bound to change at any moment. And the best thing to do before those temperatures drastically change is to prepare for those weather changes. But where do you begin? We recommend starting in your vehicle’s trunk. Why? Well, this is because you most likely have stored a bunch of unnecessary gear in there which is hurting your vehicle more than you think it is helping. Not only does a heavy trunk lead to poor gas mileage but it can hurt you if your loose gear comes flying if you’re ever in a motor vehicle collision. So, this week we are going to give you a guide on cleaning, organizing, and preparing for the upcoming winter months. Take a look below and leave us some of your tips that help you get through those colder winter months!

Clean:

Start by cleaning your trunk from top to bottom. Take out all of the items that you’ve stored in there and separate them into two piles: keep and trash. Once you divided the items into the two piles, divide them into two additional piles whether you are going to keep these items in your vehicle or if these items should be placed within your household. Now that your trunk is clear, take some time to clean it. Using a vacuum, get rid of any dirt, grime, and build. If you want to go the extra mile, take it to a car wash and use a bit of soap to scrub out all the dirt.

Organize:

Organization is key. When you’ve decided which items belong in your vehicle, use organization tools to keep all these items in-place and from rolling around your trunk. Things like shower caddies, small totes, or pop-up totes can be great, easy, and cheap tools to keeping your items in the spot where they belong. Plus, an organized trunk will make finding your items easy. And in the event of a flat tire, it will be easy for you to get to your spare tire instead of having to remove all your items and replace when you’re finishing with the flat.

Prepare:

Winter months are coming, that means you might need to start preparing for what those months bring. Whether it is snow, rain, ice – you’ll need to pack a few necessities in your vehicle to make terrible conditions bearable. Always carry a phone charger, first aid kit, blanket or sweatshirt, jumper cables, gloves, and ice scraper. If you need a little extra weight in your vehicle, try adding a bag of sand or kitty litter in your trunk. These can also be used if your vehicle gets stuck and you need a bit of traction.

Is snow on your radar? Maybe not. But cooler temperatures are definitely setting in this October and that means that you should have already treated your Kia to some service from King Kia. But, if that’s not the case, that’s alright. This week we are bringing you some last minute savings that will allow you to get all those important service needs taken care of before those temperatures start to make you say Brrrrrr!

October is finally here and that means that it may be time to swap out your summer tires for a fresh new set of winter tires. Or the ones that have been stored away. Whichever you choose, we want to help you properly store your summer tires away from any extreme temperature exposure, ozone, and possible heat sources. Here are a few tips to help you extend the life of your summer tires!

• Before storing your summer tires, give them a good wash. Get out the soap, tire brush, and bucket of water – cleaning off any dirt, grime, and built up brake dust will keep your tires healthier. If you choose to keep your wheels on your tires, clean them accordingly. Dry them completely and do not apply any type of tire dressing.
• Once dry, place each tire in its own separate airtight plastic bag. Avoid moisture at all costs and remove as much air as you can. Close up the bag tightly with tape or a zip tie to prevent oil evaporation.
• Place the tires in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. A basement or climate-controlled area works best whereas a garage or shed are often exposed to extreme temperatures. Your tires should also be stored away from sources of ozone like motors, furnaces, sump pumps, and switches.
• If you have enough room, store your tires vertically rather than stacking them horizontally. This reduces stress and distortion. If you choose to stack them without bags, stack them “white to white” and “black to black.”
• If you are leaving the tires on a vehicle, do not let the vehicle sit for an extended period of time. Long-term inactivity is extremely harmful to tires. Take the vehicle for a weekly drive to ensure that the tires maintain oil dispersion within the rubber compounds.

Whether you live in a neighborhood or pass through one on occasion, there are many things that you need to constantly be on the lookout for. Children playing, dogs running across the road, sidewalks, crosswalks, and everything in between. While many people believe driving through a neighborhood is a safe drive and doesn’t require much attention, the truth is is that it does. A drive must be at their most careful and vigilant when passing through a neighborhood. This week, we have a list of safety tips to help you pass through while being safe and keeping the neighborhood a safe place too.

• Drive slowly and take your time. A vehicle passing by at or under the reduced speed limit in neighborhoods can and will prevent a severe accident from happening.
• Don’t tailgate slower drivers. Give them space and let them take their time. Be polite to other drivers, bicyclists, and others who you are sharing the roadway with. Don’t pass, this could lead to dangerous situations.
• Be cautious when passing through intersections and turns. Be sure to look in all directions twice for potential hazards before advancing through the intersection. If children are nearby, there is a chance they may walk out in front of your without looking – be vigilant.
• Give pedestrians the right of way and look for people in the roadway or people who are looking to cross the road. Either slow down or come to a complete stop and let them pass by, especially if they are waiting in a crosswalk.
• Always use your lights. In dark areas, use your headlights to illuminate the roadway so you can see potential hazards. You may even need to use your high beams in some areas. Turn them on and go slow.

And there you have it! Five safety tips for driving through a neighborhood! We hope you will use these in your everyday commute or the next time you have to pass through a neighborhood. Have others we didn’t mention? Let us know what tips you use or what ones you would like to see other drivers using when they pass through your neighborhood.
