Winter driving is a challenge for Canadians.

For safety’s sake, clear the snow and ice off your vehicle and keep an emergency kit in the trunk.

You may also increase your fuel consumption by 30% in winter.  Avoid unnecessary idling.  Most cars only need 30 seconds, even in extreme cold.

And remember, a well-tuned car will help you save money, protect the environment, and is safer too! For more information, call 1-800-O Canada
