Before leaving, it is key to make a complete check of the vehicle. The battery, brakes, lights, tires and heating system must be in perfect condition. In addition, we must not forget to review the level of the coolant and the windshield wiper with antifreeze.
In high mountain areas (such as Bariloche, Mendoza or Córdoba), Snow chains are mandatory. It is not enough to take them in the trunk: you have to know how to place them and use them correctly when the traction requires it.
Under ice conditions or slippery pavement, it is recommended to stop smoothly, use the motor brake and increase the distance with the front vehicle.
