Frost warning in the Rems-Murr district: How to make your car winter-proof!

The cold season brings with it difficult conditions, and the German Weather Service (DWD) warned on December 11th of Frost in the Rems-Murr district and in the city of Stuttgart. This frost warning applies from Wednesday evening to Thursday morning.

In this context, drivers of the region have a big need for reliable tips for the winter.

In order to get through the winter well, drivers should not only rely on problematic gadgets. According to ADAC, essential objects such as hand sweepers, ice scrapers and a replacement windscreen was added to the standard equipment in the car. Good preparation through regular controls is also essential. The cooler frost protection should be checked at least up to -25 ° Celsius, and at the petrol station or in the workshop, this can be easily determined with a test device.
