Back-to-School Safety Starts Before You Leave the Driveway

Back-to-school season means more school buses, crossing guards, bicyclists, and pedestrians sharing the road. Taking a few minutes to prepare your vehicle can help ensure a safer, more enjoyable school year.

Inspect Your Tires

Proper tire pressure and healthy tread improve traction and handling in changing weather conditions.

Check Your Fluids

Engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid all contribute to safe, reliable driving.

Replace Your Cabin Air Filter

A clean cabin air filter helps improve air quality and keeps your HVAC system operating efficiently.

Clean Cameras and Sensors

If your vehicle is equipped with advanced driver assistance technology, keep cameras and sensors clean for optimal performance.

Inspect Wiper Blades

Clear visibility is essential during summer storms and early morning commutes.

Pack an Emergency Kit

Include a flashlight, first-aid kit, bottled water, phone charger, and emergency supplies.

Review Safe Driving Habits

Leave extra following distance, slow down in school zones, and remain alert for children who may cross unexpectedly.
