KUALA LUMPUR: Cycle & Carriage shares three things to watch out for in your beloved vehicle amidst rising temperatures.
Keep your vehicle’s fluid levels up
Check your car’s coolant and brake fluids regularly to ensure they are not running low, especially in hot weather.
By keeping them at proper levels, it can help prevent a range of irreversible damage from heat-related issues, like overheated engines or brake fluid boiling which may lead to brake failure.
In addition to having an emergency coolant or bottle of water on standby for the radiator, be sure to do your routine maintenance to make sure these car parts are not damaged from excessive overheating.
If you are unsure of how frequent to schedule in your car ‘check-ups’, get in touch with your vehicle’s authorised service centre which can provide a recommended service schedule based on your specific vehicle as every car has different wear and tear.
Ensuring your tyres are in good condition offers both safety for passengers and a better driving experience for the driver when navigating different roads.
It is crucial not to delay or be thrifty on tyre replacement.
Always opt for good quality, reliable options, such as the Mercedes Original range of certified original tyres offered at Cycle & Carriage for Mercedes-Benz owners.
As long as you pay attention to the tyre tread wear and change tyres when needed, you can rest assured to have safer and smoother rides.
Opt to charge with a DC fast charger only when necessary and keep the state of charge within 80% to avoid overheating.
If your car is idle for lengthy periods, keep it at a charge level between 30% to 50% and do not keep it continuously connected to a power supply.
It is also advisable if you can keep your car at a charge level below 20% overnight every once in six months for better overall car battery health.
