Mazda models like the 2019 Mazda CX-5 are exceptionally well-made and comfortable to drive, but unfortunately, that doesn’t mean that your car is exempt from the summer season or its wear and tear. Here at Champion Mazda, we want drivers in the Owensboro and Henderson, KY area to stay safe this summer and provide a few summer care tips to help you keep cool.

It can be hard to stay cool in the summer months, but you and your vehicle benefit from taking steps to do so. So, what should you be focusing on? We’ve got the answers right here.

One area you should keep an eye on is your coolant system. We recommend regularly checking your coolant fluid to ensure your levels are adequate. While you keep an eye on your fluid level, take time to inspect your hoses and coolant reservoir.

Speaking of fluid levels, your car has several different types of fluid, all of which are essential, and keeping an eye on them is paramount. Check your oil, brake, power steering, and washer fluids at regular intervals to ensure you don’t get stranded at the worst time.

When it comes to keeping you and, to an extent, your car cool, there are several things you can and should do. One area is your air conditioning. We recommend utilizing the air conditioning when traveling at high speeds, as it is more fuel-efficient than driving with the windows down. The cold air also helps to keep you alert. Additionally, park in the shade whenever you can to keep your car cooler.

Whether you’re planning on going on a road trip, or if it’s been a while since you last got your car serviced, now is the perfect time to visit our Mazda service center. We’ll identify any issue and get you back on the road and enjoying summer in no time.
