• Get a vehicle winter maintenance check-up. Don't wait to check your battery, belts, hoses, radiator, lights, brakes, heater/defroster and wipers.

• Keep your fuel tank full — don't let it fall below half a tank on winter trips.

• Program your radio for traffic reports and emergency messages (for WSDOT radio: 530 and 1610 AM).
