But what about preparing your car for the autumn? We\u2019ve put together 4 simple car\u00a0care suggestions to keep your car in tip-top shape, so you can enjoy the beauty of the autumn season when you&#8217;re out on the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Autumn car car<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Deal with debris<\/strong>.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Although leaves may be one of the highlights of this time of year, they can cause havoc with your vehicle. If you regularly park under or near trees, ensure that your car is cleared of leaves and other debris before setting out so that your vision isn\u2019t impeded, your air filters don\u2019t get clogged, and your paintwork isn\u2019t affected.\u00a0 As the weather turns wetter, be aware of an increase in mud and grit that can also affect your car&#8217;s paintwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Check components are in good working order.<br \/>\nHeater<\/strong>.\u00a0 Check that your car\u2019s heating system is working properly so that you can de-mist your windscreen on the frosty mornings ahead.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <strong>Wipers<\/strong>.\u00a0 Ensure your wipers are in good condition and are working properly.\u00a0 Seasonal storms tend to be more frequent at this time of the year, and you want to be able to see clearly in heavy <\/span>rain storms<span style=\"color: #000000;\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <strong>Tyres<\/strong>.\u00a0 Do a visual check to make sure your tyres are still in good shape and have sufficient tread depth. Follow up by checking tyre pressure.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <strong>Brakes<\/strong>.\u00a0 Make sure that brakes are in good working condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Replenish supplies in your boot<\/strong>.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now is the time to check that you have sufficient de-icer in the boot of your car. Why not also add a torch, a waterproof jacket and a blanket in case of emergencies?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Protect the interior<\/strong>.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With rain, mud and leaves being tracked into your car (often on a daily basis), it can be difficult to keep the interior clean.\u00a0 Consider installing <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.travall.co.uk\/rubber-car-mats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vehicle-specific rubber mats<\/a>, to keep your car\u2019s carpet clean and dry with a full coverage fit.
