Keeping Your Genesis in Top Condition: Seasonal Maintenance Tips

As summer approaches, it is important to make sure your air conditioning system is working properly, especially if you're planning long drives in the heat. This way, you can ensure all your rides are cool and comfortable during summer days.

Overheating is a common cause of breakdown during hot days. That’s why it’s important to check the cooling system, flush it, and refill it with factory-approved coolant. As the summer approaches, it’s also important to check your oil levels and change them if needed. This is important as hot weather can put extra strain on your engine.

Lastly, inspect the brakes for pulsations, grabbing, unusual noises, or increased stopping distances, and schedule an appointment with our service center if you notice any issues.

As the colder months approach, certain components of your Genesis vehicle need special attention. Ensure that your heater and defroster are in good condition to ensure visibility. It’s also important to check your battery. This part of your engine typically lasts three to five years, but cold weather can be harsh on it. So, ensuring its reliability is key for peace of mind on the roads.

Winter means less sunlight, so inspect all lights, including headlights, and replace any burned-out bulbs. You should also replace your wiper blades and replenish your wiper fluid. Lastly, make sure your tires are suitable for winter driving conditions and change them if needed.

After the colder days are over, checking your Genesis's overall condition is key to keeping it in top condition. Begin by swapping out your winter tires for all-season ones and consider rotating them to maximize their lifespan. Cold temperatures are hard on rubber components, so inspect and replace wiper blades as needed. Don't forget to check the wiper fluid to ensure clear visibility during spring showers.

Remember to check the brake system and brake pads. It’s key to have these inspected by certified technicians who will diagnose and address any wear and tear your car might have experienced during winter.

Lastly, top off all fluids, as winter driving conditions can lead to increased engine workload and potential moisture buildup.
