Don’t neglect your car this Christmas

As we approach the festive season, DENSO is encouraging vehicle owners to take a little care of their cars, and at the same time ensure their own safety, during Christmas and throughout the winter.

DENSO is an original equipment manufacturer, whose parts are fitted to millions of vehicles across Europe and around the world. The products the company makes are used in several of a vehicle’s key systems, whether engine, comfort or safety related, which means they are vital for its reliable, day to day use.

Starting with what’s under the bonnet, although many won’t know it, millions of drivers rely on DENSO starters when they turn the key and the engine bursts into life. Then its ignition components like spark plugs and glow plugs leap into action to keep the engine running as you set out on your journey, and its electronic sensors make sure it performs efficiently.

As you drive, the DENSO alternator discreetly charges the battery to ensure there’s the power you need to use the lights, listen to the radio and follow the satnav, as well as turn up the speed on the heater blower to keep you warm, and crucially, still be able to start the engine again after you’ve stopped.

When it’s cold outside, your comfort inside the cabin is particularly important, but not just in terms of the temperature. Although keeping warm is obviously essential, your vehicle’s whole heating and ventilation system needs to be operating correctly to prevent the windows from misting and ensure the quality of the air that you and your passengers are breathing, is the best it can be.

DENSO is an air conditioning specialist and its systems are fitted in many vehicles, keeping drivers cool in the summer and warm in the winter. In addition, its cabin air filters, which are designed trap and contain unhealthy airborne particles, ensure that occupants breathe clean and healthy air as they travel. Crucially, these filters also help the system to operate correctly and reliably.

When it comes to driving in the winter, a clear view through the windscreen is of the utmost importance. DENSO's range of wiper blade solutions suit many vehicle designs and ensure that the screen is wiped clear of rain, sleet or snow quickly and efficiently, so that you can see safely whatever the weather, during the day and at night.

Having your car regularly serviced, by a professional technician at the correct intervals, will ensure it remains reliable and dependable, whatever the season. However, replacing the wiper blades and cabin air filer should be done on an annual basis and the lead up to Christmas, as the weather becomes colder and the nights longer, is a perfect time to give your car some festive cheer, for its benefit and your safety.
