Driving in hot or cold weather conditions can take a toll on your Jeep SUV. That’s why it’s essential to properly care for your SUV as the season changes to help it recover and prepare for what’s to come. Follow these tips from the experts at Victor Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to keep your Jeep operating optimally throughout the year.
Examine your Tires: Take your SUV in for tire inspections every spring. Check the tires for signs of cuts, bulges, or tears. This is also a good time to rotate your tires to promote even wear and extend lifespan.
Inspect your wiper blades: Check your wiper blades and wiper fluid to ensure they are in top condition so you can enjoy a clear view while driving.
Check your brakes: Have a trusted mechanic check the status of your brakes and change any worn-out parts.
Check fluids: Check your SUV’s fluids and top them off when necessary.
Test your air conditioning system: Check and repair your AC system to remain comfortable in hot temperatures.
Change your oil: Summer heat can cause your engine oil to become thick and sludgy. Change your oil regularly to keep your Jeep SUV in top condition.
Examine your cooling system: The number-one cause of breakdowns in the summer is overheating. Check your coolant levels, radiator, and hoses to prevent your SUV’s engine from getting too hot during this period.
Check fluids: Monitor the levels of SUV fluids, like brake fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield wiper fluid, and top them up as necessary.
Check and replace wipers: There’s usually more rain in the fall. Check your windshield wipers to be sure they are in good condition, and replace them if they are streaking or skipping.
Inspect tires: As temperatures drop, so does your tire pressure. Measure your tire pressure and adjust it to the recommended levels. Also, check your tires for wear and replace them if needed.
Top-off fluids: Low fluid levels can lead to poor performance and cause engine damage. So, check all the essential fluids and top them off frequently.
Check your lights: Winter means shorter days and longer nights. Examine your SUV’s headlights and replace any burned-out bulbs for maximum visibility on the road.
Examine your heater/defroster: Have your heater and defroster checked by a certified technician to improve your comfort and visibility in the winter.
Inspect your tires: Good tires are essential for great traction on snowy and icy roads. Check your tires’ tread depth and wear patterns and replace them when necessary.
Test your battery: Starting your SUV can be hard on cold winter mornings. Have a load test performed on your battery to be sure it has enough cold cranking amps to start the engine in freezing temperatures.
