Best Cold Weather Accessories For Your Toyota

Winter in Nova Scotia can prove to be a challenging time if you are not prepared for it. This includes being prepared in your Toyota. No matter what type of automobile you drive, from a small sporty car to a large family SUV, it is crucial to have all the correct cold-weather accessories.

For all models, look into remote starts. Remote starters are great for super cold winter weather. No need to go outside to start your car. Simply use your remote to start it from inside. This allows you to have a toasty warm car wherever you are - the grocery store, church, work, or at home.

Winter mats are also a nice idea for any Toyota. This will keep any dirt and grime, salt and sand stay put on the mat so these materials and moisture do not seep into the floorboards. If they are allowed to seep in, corrosion may take place.

And of course, a snow brush is a must! This can help clear off your windows before you take off. There are even some on the market that has an extendable handle that will allow you to reach the center of the windshield. You can also use the extendable handle to remove snow that has been piled up on the roof of the car.

Another accessory you may not think about but it is important is a traction aid. This can be as simple as a bag of kitty litter or sand. If going with kitty litter, be certain it is not the clumping type. These can allow your wheels to gain traction to get out of places where your wheels are just spinning.

Jumper cables are a must when it comes to winter driving. Add a set in your trunk. Besides your jumper cables, you can add an emergency kit that is complete with flashlights, blankets, a first aid kit, batteries, and extra winter wear is a great idea for your Toyota - c

A shovel is also a great idea. If your car goes off the road, a shovel may be able to help dig you out. It is also useful if you happen to get caught in a drift. Look for a snow shovel that can easily fold up to save room in your trunk.

By adding all of these to your Toyota you can be certain that your car will be ready for the cold weather.
