Your Mercury Monarch has probably survived decades of travelling through any kind of weather. And that has caused you to become confident when it comes to its reliability. But make no mistake; even though your Monarch has gone through the worst kind of weather conditions, it can still become susceptible to Mother Nature's wrath. And the most difficult to deal with would be the freezing cold during winter. So here are ways on how you can help your Mercury Monarch survive the cold weather.

The condition of your tires has a huge impact not only on the way your Monarch performs but also on your safety, so keeping tabs on your tires is no brainer at all. Just before the snow starts falling, make sure that you have already switched from your regular tires to those specifically made for winter. And in case you have the all-season ones and would like to stick with them, then make sure to optimize them for snow travel. Have the tread marks checked for proper depth and ensure that all the tires are aptly inflated. Your tires' tread depth affects your car's grip on the road, which is crucial especially during winter when the snow covers pretty much everything, causing the roads to become dangerously slippery. So for your sake and the people on the road with you, make sure that your tires are indeed capable for snow travel.

Seeing stranded motorists during winter is no longer a surprise. And the primary culprit for these troublesome turn of events? The vehicle's battery. Car batteries have been found to be easily damaged by the cold weather during winter. But the truth is, it's actually the heat that causes the batteries to fail. It all starts during the summer wherein the intense heat of the sun causes the battery fluid to evaporate fast, which more often than not happens without the driver's knowledge. So make sure that you keep tabs on your car's battery fluid level to avoid getting your battery damaged internally and becoming one of the many stranded motorists along the highway.

Your radiator's effectiveness in keeping your engine in good condition depends on the quality of the coolant you're giving it. Yes, the radiator is more known to prevent overheating during the summer, which makes it a common oversight to forget keeping tabs on it during the cold season. But don't make that mistake; if you neglect giving your radiator the appropriate coolant, which happens when you continuously use tap water instead of the prescribed antifreeze, then it would only be a matter of time before the radiator freezes and cracks up because of the cold weather. So make sure to use only the right coolant and the proper amount of water on your radiator. Stick to the correct antifreeze-water ratio and you'll have no problems whether it's searing hot outside or freezing cold.
