Essential Holiday Safety Tips for a Joyful and Safe Festive Journey with Loved Ones

As the most wonderful time of the year approaches, families are gearing up for road trips to create lasting memories together. To ensure the best holiday travel experience with your loved ones, follow these valuable tips for convenience and safety on the road, as shared by Prestone®, a proven and trusted brand of Auto Care fluids since 1927.

Plan Your Route and Stops

Before embarking on your holiday road trip, take the time to plan your route and identify potential stops along the way. Consider expected traffic conditions and locate rest areas or attractions for breaks. Planning in advance ensures a smoother travel experience, anticipating fuel stops and rest breaks for everyone’s comfort.

Remember BLOCBAGETS

Holiday road trips often involve lengthy drives, especially during the Christmas rush. Navigating through this season requires your vehicle to be in optimal condition. Conduct a comprehensive check of your car using the BLOCBAGETS checklist: Brakes, Lights, Oil, Coolant, Battery, Air, Gas, Engine, Tires, and Self. Ensuring each component is in proper working order prevents unexpected issues during your journey.

Invest in High-Quality Coolant and Brake Fluid

Extended driving hours in holiday traffic can be risky without the right coolant to regulate engine temperature. Regularly top up with the correct coolant, such as Prestone Car-Specific Coolant with Cor-Guard anti-corrosion technology. This coolant not only cools but also provides optimal protection, ensuring dependability for a prolonged road trip.

  • RED COOLANT: For Toyota®, Lexus®, and Scion® vehicles of all years
  • BLUE COOLANT: For Honda®, Nissan®, Subaru® vehicles, pre-2009 to 2011 & Newer
  • GREEN COOLANT: For Suzuki®, Hyundai®, KIA®, Mazda®, Mitsubishi® vehicles, pre-2009 to 2011 & Newer

Always remember: right color, right formula, compatible with your car. Additionally, invest in high-quality brake fluid like Prestone’s DOT 3 or DOT 4 Synthetic Hi-Temp Brake Fluid for superior braking power, a high boiling point, and safety on rubber cups and seals.

Use Only Genuine Products for Safety

Prestone emphasizes the importance of using only genuine Prestone products to ensure utmost safety on the road. Protect your car, family, and investment by observing the 3P’s:

  • Packaging: Be cautious of flimsy materials or misspelled words; they may indicate fake products.
  • Price: Significantly cheaper products than the original Prestone line may be fake.
  • Place: Purchase only from official Prestone partner stores, including Ace Hardware, Blade, TrueValue, Handyman, and auto-supply shops nationwide, as well as the Clorox Official Stores on Lazada and Shopee.

These reminders are crucial for your car and your family’s safety. For genuine protection, use only authentic Prestone products.

Prepare for a Worry-Free Journey

As you prepare for your holiday road trip, remember that planning ahead and maintaining your vehicle with top-notch auto care products contribute to a safer and more enjoyable journey. With Prestone, make this holiday season a time for cherished memories and worry-free travels.
