Scheduling routine Genesis maintenance is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your vehicle, maintain efficiency, and reduce the need for costly repairs. It’s especially important during seasons with more inclement driving conditions, like winter. Learn how to winterize your vehicle so you can stay safe on every drive with Genesis of Brunswick.
Inspect the Battery
Most car batteries have a lifespan of three to five years, but the environment and conditions can significantly affect battery health. In temperatures below freezing, car batteries can lose up to 50% of their capacity. You want to get your vehicle’s battery checked early, so there’s no risk of getting stranded in the cold.
Check the Hoses and Belts
Your vehicle runs with the support of a series of hoses and belts, which support powertrain function and move fluids through the vehicle. These hoses and belts are made with materials that are vulnerable to cracking and damage in cold conditions. Get them inspected early on in the cold season so you know if they need to be replaced.
Service the Tires
If you’re planning on swapping out your all-season tires for winter tires, now is a good time to do it. If you’re planning on using your all-season tires through the winter, you want to be sure to get them inspected before your next cold-weather drive. Cold conditions can cause tire pressure loss, and it’s important to make sure the tread is still deep enough to provide adequate traction on slippery roads.
