BUCYRUS, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)- As the summer season approaches, Chevrolet of Bucyrus is offering essential tips to help drivers prepare their vehicles for the warmer months.
Test the Air Conditioning System
The first step in summer vehicle preparation is testing the air conditioning system1. After a long winter, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle’s AC is working efficiently. If the system only blows hot air, it may need a refrigerant charge1.
Check Tire Pressure
Winter conditions can be harsh on tires. Before embarking on summer road trips, drivers should inspect their tire pressure1. Proper tire inflation can prevent flat tires and blowouts, and it can also help maximize gas mileage1.
Top Off Engine Fluids
With the arrival of summer, it’s important to check and top off your vehicle’s engine fluids1. These include transmission fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, and windshield wiper fluid1. Coolant fluid is particularly crucial during the summer months as it prevents the car’s engine from overheating1.
Inspect Wiper Blades and Lights
Drivers should inspect their wiper blades for any signs of wear and tear2. It’s also important to check the functionality of all lights, including turn signals, headlights, brake lights, hazard lights, and bright lights2.
Maintain Your Brakes
Brake maintenance is another critical aspect of summer vehicle preparation3. Drivers should have their brakes inspected and serviced regularly to ensure their safety on the road.
Chevrolet of Bucyrus encourages all drivers to follow these tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable summer driving experience. For more information or assistance with vehicle maintenance, visit Chevrolet of Bucyrus today.
