While out on the road in your Hyundai, you never know when a collision threat might suddenly arise. Fortunately, Hyundai SmartSense features are always watching for hazards to keep you safe. Here's how this award-winning safety suite keeps you and your passengers from harm. Forward-Collision Avoidance Collision threats often appear from the front. Forward-collision assist with pedestrian detection monitors the road ahead for hazards. If another vehicle swerves in front of you or slows abruptly in a dangerous way, your car will warn you both visually and audibly. If you're slow to respond, the emergency brakes can apply to avoid or reduce the impact. This system detects pedestrians as well. more Blind Spot Collision Avoidance To the rear and either side, our blind spots might contain other vehicles without the driver's knowledge. Blind spot collision avoidance keeps you aware of what's in your blind spots and warns you if you begin to change lanes with an unseen vehicle obstructing the maneuver. If necessary, the front brakes on the left or right will activate to prevent the dangerous lane change. Lane Following Assist It's dangerous to weave even a little in your lane, which might happen in a fatigued moment. When active, lane-following assist watches the lane markers and keeps you centered by providing occasional gentle adjustments to the steering. Lane Keeping Assist The previous feature pairs nicely with lane-keeping assist, which warns you if you drift too near to the neighboring lane; you'll see and hear an alert. If you don't immediately take corrective action, your Hyundai will apply steering pressure to get you back into a safely centered position. Driver Attention Warning Nighttime driving, long journeys, and driving when sleep-deprived all increase the risk of a drowsiness or distraction. This clear danger is mitigated with the driver attention warning feature, which detects the patterns of inattentive or drowsy driving and provides a clear alert and on-screen message to encourage you to take a break from driving. Forward Attention Warning This sophisticated feature uses a driver facing camera in the steering wheel to watch the driver's eyes. By reading changes in your eye positions, it can tell if you're getting drowsy or distracted and warn you. You thereby have an extra layer of defense against drowsiness, although nothing beats coffee and good rest before driving.

Drop by any time to find out which of these excellent safety features come as standard or optional on your favorite Hyundai.

As you drive, your car's battery works tirelessly to power the starter, spark plugs, headlights, dashboard dials, AC, and myriad other in-vehicle electronics. These Hyundai battery maintenance tips will help you get the best performance and the longest lifespan out of your car battery. Keep Your Battery Clean It's not good for dirt to build up on a battery's casing because moisture and grease in the grime can lead to corrosion and potentially allow conductivity to leak between the terminals. It's wise to make a habit of cleaning both the battery and its tray once a month. more Inspect Your Battery Monthly Most car batteries last from three to five years, but vibrations, extreme temperatures, or short circuits can sometimes lead to premature failure. Inspect your battery monthly for signs of damage. Corroded terminals or warped battery casing typically spell the end for a car battery. Cracks and leaks certainly mean you need a replacement. Make Sure It's Properly Fastened As mentioned, vibrations can cause a lot of damage to a car battery. You'll minimize this risk by periodically checking the clamps and brackets to ensure your battery is firmly fastened in place. Protect Your Battery From the Cold Subzero temperatures in the depths of an Ohio winter can slow the chemical reactions inside a car battery, which weakens it and causes permanent damage. Throughout winter, try to keep your car parked under cover and out of the cold whenever possible. You could also invest in an insulated battery jacket. Don't Let Your Battery Drain Completely Some drivers aren't aware that an empty battery deteriorates much more rapidly. It's therefore important to drive regularly, which keeps your battery charged at all times. If you need to leave your car unused for a while, a trickle charger will prevent it from fully depleting. Plan Ahead to Avoid Short Tips Drivers who only drive short distances sometimes find their batteries depleting to zero. This happens because short trips don't give the alternator enough time to properly recharge the battery. If you plan ahead and coordinate errands, you'll take longer trips, and your battery will always be recharged and healthy. Schedule Professional Battery Tests At least once a year, bring your battery in to have it tested. Our technicians can tell you what condition it's in. It's also a good idea to have your battery and entire electrical system inspected before winter and before any long trips that will put extra demands on your car. We Can Take Care of Your Hyundai Battery Maintenance With the help of a solid maintenance schedule with our experienced technicians, your car will start reliably, even on cold winter mornings. We can schedule battery inspections and other vital car services in a convenient timetable that works for you. Visit Coughlin Hyundai of Heath in Heath, OH, today to make sure your battery's still alive and kicking.

The Hyundai maintenance schedule in your vehicle handbook lists all the services that will ensure your vehicle is always in good condition and performs at its best. As your Hyundai dealer, we would like to give you some examples of the services we provide. Tire Rotations Tire rotations help extend tire life by allowing them to wear down at a relatively even rate. Tires experience damage as you drive due to friction with the surface, but they suffer additional damage due to their position on your vehicle. Each tire position generates a particular wear pattern based on weight distribution and tire alignment, and continued damage to the same sections of a tire will cause leaks or a blowout. Our technicians rotate your tires by moving them to different places on your Hyundai. The exact positions the tires move to depend on your drivetrain. If your Hyundai has FWD, the front tires move to the rear and remain on the same side, while the rear tires move to the front but change to opposite sides. A tire rotation is usually performed every 7,500 miles and can extend a tire's useful life by up to 40%. more Oil and Filter Change Oil continuously circulates through your engine to keep it working efficiently. Many engine components depend on friction to work effectively, and the oil lubricates these components to reduce damage. The oil cools hot components as it moves over them, which further reduces wear and tear. In addition, oil additives provide essential benefits, like preventing rust and breaking down potentially damaging carbon buildup. The oil filter collects dirt and other debris that are collected by the oil, improving fuel economy and further reducing wear and tear on the engine. As time passes, the oil will become slower and thicker, which makes it less effective. An oil change is usually due after 7,500 miles, during which we drain and replace the old oil and install a new oil filter. Brake Pad Inspection Brake pads are an important part of the braking system, as they generate friction against the wheel rotors, which stops the wheels. Each pad has a 1/2" thick rough material covering that produces the friction, but this material slowly wears thinner over time. Thin pads take longer to generate friction, which slows braking response and increases your braking distance. During an inspection, we measure the thickness of each pad and replace any that have dropped to 1/4" thickness. We also examine the calipers, which contain the pads, to ensure they're working correctly, and we check the condition of the rotors. These inspections are usually performed around 45,000 miles. If you'd like to know more about your Hyundai's services or to book a service, contact us at Coughlin Hyundai of Heath in Heath, OH.

Your Hyundai has precise, powerful brakes when well-kept. However, even the most reliable of automobile braking systems can diminish if neglected. It's therefore wise to follow a diligent Hyundai brake maintenance plan; we've prepared guidelines on how to keep your brakes in tip-top condition. Read on to learn more. Never Skip a Brake Inspection It's advisable to have your brakes professionally examined two or three times a year. This allows our technicians to raise your car, remove the wheels, brake pads, rotors, and calipers, and inspect each component for indications of wear or damage. The brake fluid and brake lines must also be checked. Brake fluid needs to be periodically flushed to stay in good shape. If safety is a priority for you, it's unwise to ever miss a scheduled brake inspection. more Know the Signs of Bad Brakes All brake systems require occasional replacements. Frequent inspections allows you to stay informed of the condition of your brake pads and rotors, so it won't come as a surprise when they start to show signs of age. Listen out for squealing noises, which could indicate a worn-out brake pad. If one of your rotors is warped or scored, it might cause strange vibrations. Any grinding, clattering, puddles of leaking fluid, or loss of brake force should also prompt you to seek the help of a trusted technician. Buy High-Quality Brake Pads When new, your Hyundai comes with excellent brake pads. When these pads eventually begin to wear out, always replace them with genuine Hyundai OEM pads to ensure maximum reliability. Aftermarket brake pads may result in premature wear and tear, or even failure. Coast To Slow Your Car Down How you drive your car each day has a considerable impact on the brakes. Rather than accelerating aggressively and then braking sharply as you approach a stop or turn, try to drive your car more sedately, coasting to allow gravity to slow you down while saving your brake pads from unnecessary wear. This calmer style of driving also tends to be safer. Avoid Brake-Heavy Driving Conditions Certain road conditions force drivers to use their brakes more. For instance, heavy stop-and-go traffic requires far more braking than cruising on the highway. Steep and winding mountainous roads also take a toll on the brakes. With this in mind, try to plan your routes to avoid brake-heavy driving situations as much as possible. Your brakes will thank you for it with much fewer issues and a longer overall lifespan. Have your brakes inspected or replaced today at Coughlin Hyundai of Heath in Heath, OH. We're an award-winning local dealership dedicated to keeping our customers safe, comfortable, and happy on the road.
