If you have your heart set on a summer road trip, there are a few things you will need to do before you hop in your Kia Soul LX on your getaway trip. For one thing, it's a good idea to check the road conditions on your preferred route to be aware of any detours. You may also want to stop by your local Kia dealer to make sure your car is in good shape before you go. Get Ready for Your Road Trips this Summer Several resources are available to check the conditions of the road before your trip. Each state has a Department of Transportation that will have information about various roads and highways throughout the state. In Maryland, this resource is called CHART (Coordinated Highways Action Response Team), which has information about traffic incidents, live traffic cameras, an interactive map, traffic speed, and severe weather advisories. more In addition to your state resource, you can also download apps for Apple and Android phones. Many of these apps will pull information from state transportation resources, but the apps are often easier to navigate. Some apps may also have step-by-step driving directions to help you get around detours and traffic incidents more quickly. How Else Can You Prepare for a Road Trip? Whether planning a short day trip or a week-long road trip, you will need to be knowledgeable about more than the condition of the road. One smart thing to do is plan multiple routes to your destination so that you can have more flexibility. By planning multiple routes, you can stop at gas stations and restaurants on any route without too much hassle. Two other key preparations before a road trip include: Visit Your Local Kia Dealer It's an excellent idea to visit your local dealership before a road trip to make sure your car is roadworthy. Simply tell the service center that you are planning a road trip, and the mechanics at your dealership will check all the major systems of your vehicle, including your tires, brakes, engine, lights, battery, and oil. Your dealership mechanic may also check your windshield wiper blades and the wiper fluid, particularly if the weather forecast predicts bad weather along the way. Make an Emergency Kit It's also a good idea to have an emergency kit stowed away in your car. Your emergency kit should include road flares, jumper cables, and a multi-tool set to change tires. Many people also pack extra blankets, spare clothes, non-perishable food, bottled water, flashlights, spare batteries, and a USB power pack. Road trips can be exhilarating, but before you head out on the road, it's best to be as prepared as possible. Be sure to stop by DARCARS Kia of Lanham for a routine maintenance check before your next long trip.

When driving in snow, ice, or other wintery conditions, being prepared is important. Here are some tips from the professionals at your local Kia dealer for how you can best stay safe when winter weather comes to our area. 6 Tips for Safely Driving in Snow in Lanham, MD 1.    Don't Go Out Unless It's Necessary The easiest way to stay safe in snowy conditions is to stay off the road in the first place. You should only go out during winter weather when it is necessary to do so. If you can wait until conditions clear before you go out driving. more 2.    Be Prepared for Emergencies Keep an emergency kit of essential supplies in your vehicle to prepare for the worst-case scenario. An ice scraper and snow shovel to clear your vehicle and the surrounding area are must-haves, while a bag of kitty litter can help you get traction on slippery surfaces. Keep a well-stocked first aid kit in case you need to administer medical attention when winter conditions might delay support from emergency services. 3.    Keep Your Speed Under Control You need to drive slower than usual in snowy, icy conditions because it's more difficult for your wheels to get traction on slick surfaces. Keep an eye on your speedometer and maintain a careful speed, but don't go too slow on uphill inclines, or you might not have the speed needed to make it to the top. You'll need to be patient about reaching your destination in the snow, but being cautious is essential for your safety. 4.    Try to Keep to Familiar Roads Experience with the roads you're traveling on can make a big difference when dealing with winter weather's challenges. Plan your route carefully before hitting the road. If you can, stick to roads that you know well so you can anticipate any curves or inclines. This will make it much easier to keep your vehicle at a safe speed. 5.    Watch Out for Black Ice Even if roads look clear of snow or visible ice, you should always be cautious when driving in winter. Black ice is difficult to spot and can cause your wheels to lose traction. When in doubt, take it slow so you don't take any unnecessary risks. 6.    Keep Up on Service at Your Kia Dealer Getting service for your vehicle ahead of snowy weather is essential. You'll want to get your windshield wipers, tires, battery, and other parts checked out to ensure they're ready for the winter. Stop in to see a service professional so you don't have a problem at an inconvenient time. Want more tips on handling winter weather, or need service for your vehicle? Come see us at DARCARS Kia of Lanham, and we'll ensure you're ready for the road ahead!

Winter service means preparing your car for the harsh weather and icy roads of winter. Unprotected cars can suffer all sorts of internal and external damage from freezing cold temperatures and salty slush from freshly gritted roads. Patches of road ice also pose a threat, putting you at risk of sudden skids. Let's take a look at the best ways to prepare your car for winter weather, all of which you can have done at your local Kia dealer. Put Antifreeze in Your Cooling System If you use ordinary coolant in sub-zero temperatures, the coolant can freeze, seizing up the system and cracking lines as it expands. So, before winter comes on, it's important to have your coolant replaced with antifreeze, which should be a mix of between 50/50 and 70/30 antifreeze to water. It's best to ask a technician which antifreeze they recommend for your car, as every vehicle differs. more Upgrade Your Battery for Winter Weather Car batteries are strongly affected by the cold. As the temperature falls, your battery's power diminishes. This means you might need to install a more powerful battery for the winter months. Usually, car batteries are between 300 and 600 CCA in power. But for winter, ask your technician to install a battery with 600 to 800 CCA of power. This will help ensure you don't have any chilly mornings when the car refuses to start because your battery died from the cold. Switch to Winter Tires Winter tires are made from a special water-swelling hydrophilic rubber, which is softer and more pliable. This allows your tires to grip slippery road surfaces better. These kinds of tires also have treads with wider voids and sharper edges designed to scoop down into packed snow. And if need be, sipes and studs can add even more traction to winter tires. Protect Your Bodywork With Wax The salt in gritted snow can really harm a car's bodywork and exposed metal parts, causing rapid corrosion and rust. This is why it's so important to frequently clean snow from your car during winter. You can further protect the bodywork with a protective layer of special winter wax. This protects it from corrosive elements, scratches, and even from hail. Winterize Your Windshield Wipers If you're planning on driving a lot during winter, you can expect your windshield wipers to be busy with all that snow and moisture. You'll need to keep your wipers from collecting ice and losing their function. You can do this by installing winter wipers made from special ice-resistant rubber. For your wiper fluid, choose a modern fluid designed to withstand cold temperatures without freezing. You can ask your technician for advice on the best fluid to use. And always keep your washer fluid topped up throughout winter. You never know when you might need your wipers to help you through a snowstorm. Have Your Local Kia Dealer Winterize Your Car It can be tricky to know exactly which antifreeze, wiper fluid, wax, and tires to use this winter. Someone at your local dealership will be happy to prepare it all for you. Have your vehicle thoroughly winterized today at DARCARS Kia of Lanham. Our experienced, friendly technicians will help you and your car stay safe this winter.
