Turn on your headlights for 10 seconds before driving to save money

by

  • Longer Battery Life – Fewer harsh voltage spikes can extend the life of your car battery.

  • Alternator Protection – Reducing strain during ignition can help your alternator last longer.

  • Fewer Electrical Glitches – A smoother power-up sequence means less wear and tear on your car’s computer and sensitive electronics.

In short: less stress on your electrical system = fewer surprise repair bills.

One Small Habit, One Big Payoff

This tip might seem simple — even silly — but it’s based on real electrical logic. And considering how expensive car repairs can be, anything that extends the life of critical components is worth a few extra seconds.

 

So next time you get in your car, make it a habit: Flip on your headlights, count to ten, then start the engine. Your car (and your wallet) will thank you later.
