More than a month has passed by and, besides entertaining, we hope we’ve also given you some good advice for winter driving!

We stop here for the moment… but, see you soon for next adventures! Stay tuned!

To say goodbye, we thought it was nice to give you a video taste of the Tour, hoping you’ll like it!

Let’s see it so!

1 - Check the tyres pressure and level of wear (you can find the correct data on the car booklet), remembering that Winter tyres’ performance is good on snow until they reach 4 mm thread depth. Rotate the winter tyres regularly every 10/12.000 km.

2 - Always use 4 winter tyres of the same brand and the same characteristics. Consult the user and maintenance manual of the vehicle for the correct load index and speed code of the tyres to be used.

3 - Equip your car for winter: give your car a set of winter tyres, check the windscreen wipers, the screen wash liquid, the battery, the headlights and the de-icer.

4 - Keep headlights and windscreen cleaned, and clean the snow from the roof of the car because it could slide and compromise your visibility. Raise the windscreen wiper from the glass during the night to avoid they freeze.

5 - Always start the engine first, before turning on the headlights, radio or any other equipment that involves the battery… but don’t forget to switch on the headlights to be more visible to the other drivers.

6 - Always maintain an adequate safety distance and respect the speed limits imposed by the highway code. You should keep at least 3 times the usual distance from the car in front of you.

7 - On snowy and icy roads avoid braking, changing gear and steer roughly. Brake gently to avoid skids. If the wheels block off, release gently the brake.

8 - Use low gears to keep the traction and avoid parking on hills or on roads that might become icy.

9 - Be careful especially on bridges, overpasses and roads that are not main ones, especially when in the shade: these places will be the first to become icy, even when the temperature will go below zero.

10 - Check the weather forecasts. Avoid driving in extreme conditions, and if you really have to, consider carefully the timings: take your time to ensure the safety for you and others.

And now… have a safe trip!
