Like many other devices and appliances in our lives, cars need batteries, and those batteries will start to run out of power as time goes by. The battery in your car actually charges back up as you drive, but even this process has its limits, and when batteries start to die, you might notice a range of warning signs in the way your vehicle operates and behaves. Here are some key signs that your Hyundai needs a new car battery. 1. Warning Lights We'll begin with one of the most obvious signs of all: a warning light. If you notice a warning light on your dashboard, you shouldn't ignore it. The "Check Engine" light can be associated with battery issues, or you may also spot a light shaped like a battery or indicating the letters ALT or GEN. 2. Swelling Another good visual way to watch out for battery problems is to inspect the battery itself. Lift the hood and take a look. A healthy battery should look like a simple rectangular box, without any strange shapes or swollen areas. Unhealthy or dying batteries, meanwhile, can start to swell up strangely and change shape. These kinds of batteries need to be replaced right away to avoid any further issues. 3. Corrosion While inspecting your battery, you should also keep an eye out for any patches of corrosion. Corrosion commonly occurs around the connectors of the battery, and it may look like a blue or gray ashy, powdery substance. This is a sign that the battery is leaking, and that corrosion could start to spread around to other components if left untreated. more 4. Engine Problems The battery isn't just for powering up your car radio and power windows. It also plays a part in getting the engine fired up in the first place, providing much-needed electrical power to the spark plugs. So, when a battery starts to die, you might find that your engine takes longer to get started, or it might randomly stall while you're out and about on the roads. 5. Headlight Issues The headlights are among the most important safety features of any vehicle, allowing the driver to see clearly and illuminate the road ahead of them in dark conditions. It's impossible and illegal to drive without fully functioning headlights, so if you notice your headlights starting to flicker or fail, you need to get the battery checked out as soon as possible. 6. Unreliable Electronics Along with the headlights, there are several other issues you might notice with the electronic features and accessories in your vehicle when the battery begins to die. The charging ports might suddenly become very slow and unreliable, for example, or the power windows may get stuck in a certain position. Heated seats, sunroofs, GPS devices, and other systems can all be affected when the battery is running low on power. Driving around with a bad battery isn't a sensible idea, and the issues mentioned above will only get worse over time. Eventually, the battery will simply die, leaving your car completely unresponsive, and this is why it's so important to seek professional servicing for your car as soon as you notice any of these warning signs.

In 2021, Hyundai has launched an exciting update to one of its most popular compact sedans: the Accent. The 2021 Accent is full of improvements, in many cases to features and specs that were already considered strengths in previous models. In short, there's a lot to love about the 2021 Hyundai Accent. Read on to discover some of the features that we love the most. 1. It's Full of Modern Technology When it comes to tech, the 2021 Accent does not disappoint. Hyundai has packed it with all the tech we've come to expect in a modern car along with much of the tech we've been hoping for. Let's start with the basics: in the Accent's console, you'll find a beautiful 7-inch touchscreen panel with Bluetooth compatibility, satellite radio, and multiple USB ports. Throughout its interior, there's an array of six stereo speakers and an automatic climate control system. Beyond these expected features there are several welcome additions. All Accent trims come with the Siri Eyes Free voice assistant and Hyundai's Blue Link system built-in. Together these smart technologies offer drivers a wealth of functionality including voice control for hands-free message responses and music control, a car locator, remote locking capabilities, proximity key entry, and remote starting (perfect for those chilly mornings). 2. It's Wallet (and Environment) Friendly The 2021 Accent takes the well-established efficiency credentials of past Accent models to the next level. In its manual transmission configuration, the Accent reports an impressive 33 mpg combined. In the automatic configuration, this performance improves to 36 mpg. Overall, this translates to an average of 33 mpg city, 41 mpg highway, and 36 mpg combined across the manual and automatic configurations. This efficiency means that the Accent will be saving you money at the pump with every refuel while simultaneously limiting your carbon footprint. That's a win-win for buyers who are looking for an affordable yet sustainable car. more 3. It's Safe and Reliable The 2021 Accent is a great example of Hyundai's commitment to driver safety and satisfaction. For starters, it comes equipped with a full array of standard safety features: airbags, traction control, brake-lock prevention, and in certain trims, automatic braking. These features are all well designed and thoroughly tested with the Accent earning itself the impressive overall safety rating of 4/5 for its ability to protect passengers in the event of a crash. On top of these standard features, every new Accent model comes covered by Hyundai's much-loved warranty program. This includes a five-year / 60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a ten-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. 4. It's Luxurious Yet Affordable The 2021 Accent may be affordable, but it certainly doesn't look the part. Its curves and detailing manage to remain elegant and modern while still conveying a sense of the power lurking beneath the hood. There is considerable customization potential, too. Buyers have three distinct trims and five striking exterior color palettes to choose from as they search for a car that truly reflects them. To see the Accent at its most impressive, take a look at the Limited trim option. This model commands attention with several additional stylistic and functional elements including a sunroof, side mirror turn-signals, accented door handles, and chrome-plated grill detailing. The 2021 Accent is a well-rounded sedan that distinguishes itself by offering style, functionality, performance, and comfort at a truly affordable price.

Hyundai vehicles need their oil changed every 4,500-7,500 miles. This is quite a wide range, but the exact number of miles depends on the vehicle's model.

You should also consult a technician, as they'll be able to give you personalized advice. So, how long has it been since your last Hyundai oil change? Visiting Your Dealer for Your Hyundai Oil Change As Hyundais have such a wide suggested range, you should definitely visit a dealer for personalized advice. The dealership's technician will take a look at your vehicle, and they'll examine it to see how well it's working.

Whether you drive a lot or not, sometimes you'll need an oil change earlier than expected. You should learn the signs that something is wrong with your oil. If you know the signs, then you'll know when it's time to get to a  dealer. more 3 Signs That You Need an Oil Change 1. Loud Engine If your engine is louder than usual, then it could be a sign that the parts aren't properly lubricated. Your oil is what lubricates the engine parts, so if the oil is not doing its job properly, then it's time for an oil change. 2. Dark Exhaust Fumes If the oil isn't working at its best, then it may darken your exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes are supposed to be clear. If the fumes darken, then you know it's time to visit the dealership. 3. An Oil Leak There are several that indicate an oil leak. Get an oil leak repaired as soon as you notice it, as you'll cause less damage to your vehicle that way.

When you're looking for a new vehicle, deciding whether to buy it with a loan or to lease it is a tough choice. Leasing a car is not for everyone. But, once you have decided to lease, how do you get the best deal? Here are some tips to help you. Work Out Your Budget When you're leasing a car, you will be tied into the deal for the next few years. It's important to know that you can make the monthly payments without stretching your budget. Work out how much you can afford each month and make sure you allow for the unexpected expenses that catch us all now and then. Find a Fair Price for Your Car While it's tempting to opt for a fancy car with all the extras, you need to be realistic. When you decide on the car you want, use pricing websites to determine a fair sale price. Check manufacturer and dealership websites to find any special offers in your area. Choose a Car That Holds Its Value As part of a car leasing deal, you will be paying for how much the car's value depreciates over the period of the lease. The residual value is the difference between the price of the car when new and its resale value. Many motoring websites publish lists of cars with the best and worst residual values, and you can save money by studying them. For example, according to CarProUSA, after five years, a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has a residual value of 70%. Surprisingly, the Nissan Leaf only retains 29% of its value. The average depreciation rate is 49.1%. more Make a Bigger Down Payment Work out how much money you can realistically afford to put down upfront. The higher your down payment, the lower your monthly payments will be. Low upfront costs might seem like a good deal at the time, but you'll end up paying more in the long term. Check the Mileage Allowance Know how many miles you drive each year because, with a lease vehicle, you will have a limit on your mileage. Standard car leases usually have an annual mileage allowance of 10,000 to 15,000 miles. As the average American does around 12,000 per year, that works well for most people. However, if you go over the allowance, you'll face additional fees of 10 cents to 25 cents per mile, which can soon add up over the lease term. You may be able to negotiate a higher mileage allowance, but it would mean higher monthly payments. If you opt for a lower allowance, your monthly payments will be reduced, but you need to know you won't exceed the allowance. Check Lease Specials Manufacturers sometimes offer special lease deals on vehicles that aren't selling quickly enough. The special offer might advertise lower monthly payments, a lower interest rate, or a reduced down payment. While it might seem to be a good deal, check that the special doesn't involve a lower mileage allowance than you need or require more money upfront. Visit Crain Hyundai of North Little Rock to see the superb range of Hyundai vehicles, which are renowned for reliability and their high residual values.
