Summer Driving TIPS FOR GETTING YOUR CAR IN SHAPE

The Department of Consumer Affairs’ Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) offers the following checklist to help you make sure your car is fit for the rigors of hot- weather driving. Summer Driving Tips

Summer Driving Tips 1) Consider a pre-trip inspection by a qualified auto repair technician. Have any recommended repairs done before you leave.

Summer Driving Tips 2) Test the air conditioning. Turn it on and let it run for a few minutes. Inspect the belts and hoses. You may want to have a service professional inspect the entire system.

3) Inspect batteries and battery cables for corrosion, cracks, and dirt. Hot weather can shorten a battery’s life, so have it tested if it is near the end of its warranty. Replace the battery if necessary. Summer Driving Tips

Summer Driving Tips 4) Have a licensed brake adjuster inspect your brake pads and linings for wear according to the manufacturer’s service intervals and specifications.

5) Change the engine oil and filter according to the manufacturer’s service intervals and specifications. Your licensed service technician should also check the coolant, brake, automatic transmission, windshield wiper, and steering fluids. Summer Driving Tips

Summer Driving Tips 6) Replace ragged or worn out wiper blades.

Summer Driving Tips 7) Make sure all tires, including the spare, are properly inflated. Look for uneven or excessive tread wear. Have your tires rotated at the manufacturer’s recommended intervals.

8) Never leave for a trip with your car’s check engine light or malfunction indicator light on. Have the problem diagnosed by a qualified technician and make necessary repairs before you leave. Summer Driving Tips

9) Test your car’s interior and exterior lights, including turn signals and high beams, to make sure they work. Clean the lenses to get maximum visibility. Summer Driving Tips

10) Change your car’s air filters according to the manufacturer’s service intervals and specifications. A dirty air filter lowers gas mileage and reduces engine performance. Summer Driving Tips

Summer Driving Tips 11) Have the radiator and hoses checked for leaks and wear. Have the cooling system flushed and refilled according to the manufacturer’s service intervals and specifications. This service should include a check of the pressure cap.

Sound familiar? Many of these tips are the same maintenance procedures you should be following all year long. Read your owner’s manual and follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule, and you will be way ahead of the game. Summer Driving Tips

Chances are your car will take you to your summer destination without missing a beat. Summer Driving Tips
