How To Prepare Your Hyundai For Summer
 How To Prepare Your Hyundai For Summer
Summer is right around the corner, which means warmer weather and exciting outdoor adventures! The changing season is also a reminder to ensure your Hyundai is in top condition to avoid any problems this season. Luckily, Towne Hyundai's service center is ready to inspect your vehicle to make sure it's in pristine condition. To help review your vehicle, we developed a list of 5 things you should consider checking so you can get on the road as quickly and safely as possible!
Check Your Tire Pressure
One of the most crucial tips you can utilize this summer is reviewing your tire's PSI. While doing this, check for cuts, gouges, or sidewall bulges. A simple way to inspect your tire is by utilizing the "Quarter Test," involving the insertion of a quarter into the tire tread upside down. If the tread covers the top of George Washington's head, your tires are in good condition. If the head is showing, it may be time to visit Towne Hyundai's service center to get your tires inspected and replaced. Another tip is to check the tire pressure of your Hyundai. The recommended pressure for the tires can be found within the owner's manual or the driver-side door jamb. Once you have that information, you can follow the vehicle's manufacturer's recommended pressure!
Test Your Battery
Another great way to prepare your Hyundai for summer is by ensuring your battery is functioning correctly. The Hyundai's battery is one of the most crucial components within the vehicle as it powers the technology throughout the cabin and provides the energy needed to start your car. To inspect your battery, start lifting the hood and confirming the cable connections are clean and tight, ensuring they don't slip out of place. If they happen to be dirty, a simple solution to clean the terminals is to use water and baking soda. This will, in turn, rinse away corrosion immediately. If issues persist, scheduling an appointment at Towne Hyundai's service may be the best solution. There, technicians can check the battery's remaining capacity and decide if it needs replacement.
Replace Wiper Blades And Refill Windshield Cleaner
With time, windshield wipers will deteriorate and need eventual replacing. Some signs that can signify they need replacing include the wipers leaving streaks when in use and the inability to clear the water off the windshield thoroughly. If these problems show, the next step would be refilling the washer fluid. Using formulated cleaner is essential for your vehicle to remove debris and use water breading technology. Once the reservoir is filled, test the wipers and ensure nothing is blocking the nozzles to prevent them from spraying correctly.
Feel And Listen To Your Brakes
The brakes within your Hyundai are arguably one of the most critical aspects as it keeps you and your passengers secure on the road. So it is essential to ensure your brakes are operating to the best of their ability. Indications of a faulty or damaged brake system include a grinding noise, braking vibration, and having to push down more on the brake pedal. If any of these signs occur while driving, it may be time to get them checked. Mechanics can inspect the brake system pads, rotors, shoes, and drums. Additionally, technicians will also look for fluid leaks to ensure your brakes run as smoothly as possible.
Top Off Engine Oil And Other Fluids
Lastly, one of the best ways you can ensure your vehicle is running in prime condition is to top off all vehicle fluids. This includes the coolant and brake, engine, transmission, and power steering fluids are at the correct levels for safe vehicle operation. Making sure your vehicle is up-to-date with engine oil will ensure your engine is running smoothly and correctly and will get rid of harmful bits of dirt and debris which can cause significant damage. Additionally, changing your transmission fluid is an excellent way to prepare for whatever life may throw at you. Though this frequency is not as high as other components, changing it now can prevent dirty and grimy fluid, which can fail to lubricate and disperse heat if left untreated. To inspect this, you can locate a dipstick under the vehicle's hood and find the fluid's measurement.
