Tires

An important way of protecting your investment is to make sure you have proper tires for your vehicle.

Batteries & Belts

In Canada, it’s important to know that batteries can fail from extreme weather conditions. If your battery is 3 years old or more, have it tested for charge, fluids and cleanliness of terminals. Likewise, when a timing belt becomes worn or strained to the point where it slips or skips teeth, engine damage may occur and can be dangerous.

Brakes

Without a doubt, brakes are the most important safety system on a vehicle so they shouldn’t be ignored. Plus, delaying service may lead to more expensive repairs down the road. That’s why brake fluid levels, brake pads and rotor condition should be checked regularly, something your authorized Hyundai dealer are experts at.

Coolants and Cleaners

Make sure to use the proper mixture of coolant/antifreeze as specified in the vehicle Owner’s manual to help prevent overheating in the summer/freezing in the winter. And when cleaning the outside of your vehicle, only use automotive car wash products to prevent stripping the vehicle’s wax finish.

Oil and Filters

Performing routine oil and filter changes and using the right grade oil for your vehicle will help improve fuel economy. For example, a dirty air filter can make your engine work harder which would burn more gas. But by replacing that dirty air filter, you can boost your MPG up to 10%*. *Source: fueleconomy.gov

Windshields

In any season, a clean windshield is important to ensure you can see safely. Remember to check your windshield washer levels monthly, and in the winter, use specially formulated “anti-freeze” solutions. Also, replace wiper blades annually or when cracked, cut, torn, streaking or chattering.
