WINTER CHECK

READY FOR ANYTHING

Winter landscapes can bring beauty and delight. Also exciting opportunities for skiing, sledging and ice skating. But before you get out there and make the most of the winter wonderland, you'll need to make sure your car's equipped to deal with the slopes and ice.

That's why we devised the Volvo Winter Check. It's a 25 point to-to-toe check to ensure your car's prepared for the months ahead. It costs just £30 and we'll clean it inside and out. There's also complimentary in-car Safety Kit*, just to make sure you're equipped for everything winter brings.

PREPARE FOR WINTER

Car and pedestrian accidents peak in October and
November coinciding with darker evenings and
deteriorating weather conditions.
Ice, snow, wind, rain, fog and the dark environment all
contribute to hazardous driving conditions. That’s why
RoSPA advises you to “check your lights and brakes and
have your car serviced for the winter”.**
Nearly half (48%) of all winter accidents are caused by
skidding, so make sure your tyres are in good condition.***
A Volvo Winter Check pays attention to every aspect of
winter driving including thorough checks of your external
lights and tyres.

YOUR FREE SAFETY KIT

We’ve thought of everything you might need to see you
through the winter months, including light-reflecting safety
vests so you’re visible in the snow. Safety Kit contains:

• SAFETY VESTS – 1 x adult, 2 x child
• TORCH including batteries
• SINGLE USE CAMERA – useful for recording the
detail of an accident
• INSULATING BLANKET – if you’re stranded in the cold
• NOTEBOOK with pencil
• GLOVES
• HYGIENIC HAND WIPES
