    Your questions answered

    Especially during winter, a clear view of the road ahead I essential. Your wiper blades should clean your windscreen without friction or smearing. If this not the case, make sure to get them checked and if needed - changed by your Kia authorized Dealer, preferably within the winter check package, to have full peace of mind.

    Your car has multiple lights with different functionalities and bulbs. Especially with gloomy days, rainy weather, and an increased amount of driving in the dark, your vehicle's lights and bulbs are essential. It's important to make sure your lights all work as they should. But checking all of them by yourself can be a hassle. To keep yourself and others safe on the streets, while saving time, get your lights checked by your authorized Kia Dealer.

    To make sure your battery is at its full potential and can provide you with the power you need, getting it checked is often necessary. Why not get a trained technician at your Kia authorized Dealer to do it for you during Kia winter check?

    One simple but effective way to ensure proper winter preparation is the fluids your car needs. Anti-freeze – which is especially important for the colder months – engine oil, as well as other crucial fluids, should be topped up before driving down winter roads. If you are not sure how to check or top up all fluids, get them checked by a Kia authorized Dealer as part of Kia winter check.

    Wear of your tyres is especially high in the winter – roads increasingly have de-icing salt and pebbles on them to increase safety. That can be rough on your tyres, which is why winter tyres are essential. Winter tyres have a better grip due to their distinct rubber mixture. If you still have a pair of old winter tyres from last year lying around and are looking to get them fitted, make sure they meet the legal requirements for road safety. In case you want to make sure your tyres are ready for the slippery and rough winter roads, why not get a winter tyre check done at your Kia authorized Dealer? If you wish to learn more about tyres in general, check out our wheels and tyre page for more information.

    During winter, the brake path/braking distance/stopping distance of your car increases due to the slippery road surface. The lower visibility/range of vision increases the urgency for your brakes to work faithfully even further. Brakes will work properly when your discs and brake pads are fitted well and in optimum shape. To ensure your safety and put worries at rest, you can get your brakes checked at your local Kia authorized Dealer within a Winter Check package.
