When Do You Need to Change Your Wiper Blades? 3 Tips from CMH Mazda Durban

By

Change Your Wiper Blades: 3 Tips

With the rainy season approaching, it is essential to know when to change your wiper blades and maintain the roadworthiness of your vehicle. Your wiper blades and tyres are the most critical components.

change-your-damaged-wiper-blade-cmh-mazda-durban

At CMH Mazda Durban, we’re offering a special promotion for all CX-5s, CX-3s, and Mazda 2s from 2015 and up – come in for a service and have your front wiper blades changed on us!

But how do you know when it’s time to change your wiper blades?

windshield-cmh-mazda-durban

Here are three signs to look out for:

  1. Leaving streaks on your windshield – Damaged or bent wipers become less effective at clearing your windshield of rain and other road elements. Under extreme pressure, they will eventually leave streaks where the rubber is no longer snug against your windshield.
  2. Squeaking noises during operation – If you hear squeaks every time you turn on your wipers, this could indicate several issues, including debris or grime build-ups, or worn or damaged rubber elements causing wiper structure to touch, and potentially damage, windshield glass.
  3. Ageing – Wipers spend their service life putting up with rain, road debris, bugs, and bird droppings. These harsh elements make ageing, or regular wear, inevitable, thus making replacement a priority. A general rule is to change your wipers every 6 months.
In addition to your wiper blades, having correctly inflated tyres with good tread is essential for driving in the rain. You can check the correct tyre pressure on the door sill. properly-inflated-tyre-cmh-mazda-durban Before heading out in the rainy season, make sure your wiper blades and tyres are in good working condition. Come into CMH Mazda Durban at 109 Monty Naicker Road, Durban, for a test drive or to take advantage of our brand, accessories, and monthly specials.

How to Prepare Your Car for a Road Trip: A Comprehensive Guide

By

Are you planning a road trip? If your answer is yes. Before you hit the open road, you must prepare your car for a road trip and ensure it is in good condition.

prepare-your-mazda-for-a-road-trip-cmh-mazda-durban

Here’s a comprehensive guide from CMH Mazda Durban on how to prepare your car for a road trip:

Check your fluids

For a safe and efficient trip, you must maintain the recommended levels of engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid.

Inspect your tyres

Ensuring the safety of your vehicle is paramount, and one of the most crucial components to check is the tyres. It’s vital to regularly check the tread depth of all tyres, including the spare, to ensure optimal safety on the road. Additionally, ensure that the tyre pressure reflects the recommendations on the tyre pressure placard on the driver’s side doorjamb for the correct pressure specific to your vehicle.

service-your-car-before-the-trip-cmh-mazda-durban

Test your battery

A weak battery can leave you stranded on the side of the road. Have your battery tested by a qualified technician before your trip. If the battery is old or weak, replace it.

Check Your Lights

Check your headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and hazard lights are fully functional.

The Best Way to Prepare Your Car for Road Trip is a Thorough Service

If you’re due for an oil change or other routine maintenance, take your car to a qualified mechanic before your trip to ensure that your vehicle is running smoothly and efficiently.

Pack an Emergency Kit for the Road Trip

In case of a breakdown or emergency, keep a well-stocked car emergency kit with a first-aid kit, flares, flashlight, blankets, food, and water.

tyre-pressure-placard-cmh-mazda-durban

Make a Route Plan

Let someone know where you’re going and when you expect to arrive. It’s also a good idea to have a backup plan in case of bad weather or other unexpected events.

Prepare Your Car for A Road Trip and Enjoy the Ride!

Once you’ve prepared your car for the road trip, it’s time to relax and enjoy the journey. Take breaks every few hours to stretch your legs and get some fresh air.

Contact CMH Mazda Durban 031 001 0060 or visit our website for more details on our brand, accessories and monthly specials.

Additional tips:

  • Don’t overload your vehicle. Overloading places unwanted strain on your engine and suspension, making handling more difficult.
  • Prepare for bad weather conditions. If you’re driving in hot weather, you need your car’s air conditioning to work properly. If you’re driving in cold weather, ensure your car’s heater is working and that you have adequate antifreeze in your coolant system.
  • Be prepared for unexpected delays. Traffic jams, road closures, and other unforeseen events can happen to anyone. Pack enough contingency supplies: food, water, and entertainment to keep you occupied.

CMH MAZDA DURBAN – Tips and tricks on how to save fuel

By

Tips and tricks on how to save fuel

To help you save money on fuel, CMH Mazda Durban has compiled a list of fuel-efficient tips and tricks.

By learning how to drive fuel efficiently, you can save money on fuel, improve your safety on the road, and prevent extra wear on your vehicle. Acceleration

Fuel consumption increases when you accelerate hard. To lower your fuel consumption, take at least 5 seconds to accelerate to 20 kilometres an hour from a stop.

Maintain a steady speed

Increasing and decreasing your speed rapidly consumes more fuel. It has been shown that if you fluctuate your speed every 18 seconds between 75 and 85 kilometres per hour, you can increase your fuel consumption by up to 20%.

Keep a steady speed and when you can, use cruise control.

Anticipate traffic

Be aware of your surroundings. By being aware and anticipating traffic you can maintain a steady speed thus using less fuel.

Avoid high speeds

Keep to the speed limit and use less fuel. Vehicles are the most fuel-efficient when travelling between 50 and 80 kilometres per hour. Above this zone, vehicles use increasingly more fuel the faster they go.

Coast to decelerate

When you use your brakes, you lose forward momentum. As a result of being aware of the flow of traffic, you can coast to slow with little to no use of the brake pedal, thus saving on fuel.

Measure your tyre pressure regularly

When your tyre pressure is lower than the recommended level, your fuel consumption will be higher, and your tire life will decrease faster.

Tips when using a manual transmission

When driving a manual car, keep an eye on your tachometer (rev count). Different vehicles have different optimal gear shift points, so make sure you know yours. Generally, the higher the revs, the more fuel you use.

CMH Mazda Durban hopes that you implement these little changes in your driving technique to decrease your fuel consumption.

Tips for Driving in Heavy Rain: Dos and Donts

By

Tips for Driving in Heavy Rain

CMH Mazda Durban has compiled some tips to keep you safe when driving in heavy rain. In addition to increasing your safety, these tips will make other motorists and pedestrians safer as well.

Switch on your Headlights

Always have your headlights on! As a result, you will be able to see vehicles and obstacles ahead of you, as well as be visible to others.

tips-for-driving-heavy-rain-front-light

Do Not Drive Fast

In heavy rain, the road surface is wet and slippery. If you feel you are travelling fast and it starts raining heavily, take your foot off the accelerator pedal to slow down and do not press the brakes. You will gradually reduce speed this way. Avoid braking suddenly as this may cause your vehicle to skid.

Visibility

It may be difficult to see through your side windows when it rains heavily. Always be aware of other vehicles in the rear and blind spots.

Do Not Wwitch on your Wipers Immediately

Wait a short amount of time before switching on your windshield wipers. Switching them on immediately could smudge your windscreen and make it difficult to see.

tips-for-driving-heavy-rain-wiper-controller

Invest in good wiper blades

Investing in good wiper blades ensures that your windscreen is cleaned effectively thus increasing visibility.

Check your Vehicle

Check your tyres and ensure that it has sufficient tread for better traction on dry and wet surfaces.

tips-for-driving-heavy-rain-cmh-mazda-durban-tyre

Ensure that the mirrors on the vehicle are in good condition.

  • Ensure that your headlights are working.
  • Ensure that your taillights and indicators are in working condition.
  • Ensure that your mudflaps are secure (if your vehicle has mudflaps).

CMH Mazda Durban hopes that you follow these tips for driving in heavy rain and stay safe on the road.
