Here are some important summer car tips
Air-conditioning
The air conditioning system which operates marginally may fail during the hot weather, so one must get it checked by the skilled technicians at the service centre. New cars have air cabin filters that clean the air automatically thus making the air conditioning efficient. Every car has its owner manual and one must go through it before moving forward.Cooling System
The main cause of a breakdown is the failure of the cooling system. The car gets overheated making it difficult and more stressful for the person driving the car. The cooling system must be completely flushed and re-filled after every 12 months. Just to add to it, the cooling system must have a proportion of 50:50(50% coolant and 50%water). This would keep the car’s temperature maintained and one would not have to worry while on roads in summer.Oil
Keep your oil system in place. Those who travel frequently on long trips or whose running per day is 100Km and above should get their engine oil and oil filter changed in every 5000 kilometers. This would help the keep running in a healthy condition.Performance of the engine
The other filters (air, fuel etc.) also should be replaced in dusty and heat conditions. This makes the engine work in a healthy condition and would help the car to switch on without any rough starts.Windshield Wipers
In case of any worn out blades and stiff wipers, these should be immediately replaced as these would put the eyes in a lot stress and makes it difficult to drive if the windshield is not clean.Lights
Inspect all light (headlight and taillight). Replace any bulb which is burn out. Clean the outer mirror of the light also and prevent scratches by never using a dry rag.Tyres
Most important are the tyres of the vehicle, since the heat is much more during summers the tyre tends to expand which may create the tyre to burst. Hence it is recommended that you get your tyres aligned and balanced every 5,000 kms and fill the tyres with nitrogen to keep the temperature cool.Battery
A battery could fail at any time of the year. Routine care: Scrape away corrosion from posts and cable connections; clean all surfaces; re-tighten all connections. If battery caps are removable, check the fluid level monthly.Emergency kit
Carry a basic first aid kit which includes bandage, a disinfectant and some cotton. As stated before, there are some things which only a technician could solve in your car, so it’s better to visit the service center and let the technician deal with it only.Think your Hyundai needs a service before the summers kick in?
