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

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. Read the rest of this entry »

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. It largely depends on your driving habits, too. You should consult your vehicle’s manual, as it may have a smaller range to recommend. 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. Then they’ll ask you about your driving habits, and they’ll use what they know to give you a suggestion. Follow the technician’s suggestion on how often you should get your oil changed, as they really know best.

If you don’t heed their advice, then you might damage your vehicle. Going too long between oil changes can harm your engine, and an engine repair costs much more than a regular oil change. Don’t put off your oil change.

Oil Changes If You Don’t Drive Much

You should get your oil changed every six months, even if you don’t drive much. Your oil doesn’t need to be in use to spoil. Driving with poorly textured oil is going to damage your vehicle. Be sure to get a regular oil change, even if you haven’t hit 4,500 miles or more.

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. Read the rest of this entry »
