🍁 Canadian Winter Driving Tips
  • Allow 5–10 minutes warm-up in extreme cold before driving — reduces engine wear.
  • Check tire pressure weekly in winter; cold air lowers PSI, raising rolling resistance.
  • Use 0W-30 or 5W-30 synthetic oil for cold-start protection.
  • Remove snow and ice from roof before driving to reduce aerodynamic drag.
  • Avoid aggressive acceleration in slippery conditions to preserve economy.

Winter model based on Canadian Climate Atlas -15°C baseline. Actual degradation varies by battery state of charge, driving speed, and cabin heating usage.
