Batteries
Your vehicle’s battery primarily helps to start the engine. However, it also stores energy generated by the alternator, and runs the secondary electrical systems or additional components in your vehicle. To help you take care of your battery, and its longevity it would be recommended to do the following:

Remove corrosion, cleaning both negative and positive terminals
Check the alternator belt tension and wear
Some Indications There is a Problem With Your Battery

Your vehicle won’t start.
The vehicle is silent when you turn the key in the ignition.
Your vehicle makes a clicking noise, but won’t start.
The battery keeps running down.
The battery seems weak and fails to crank your engine normally.
These are common indications that you may need a new battery or battery connections.

Repairing Tyres
It is crucial to know when it is okay to have a tyre repaired and when a tyre should be replaced. Tyres that are run even a short distance while flat are often damaged beyond repair.

Most punctures, nail holes or cuts up to 6mm can be repaired by trained technicians. DO NOT repair tyres with tread punctures larger than 6mm, or any sidewall puncture. Also, never repair tyres which are worn below the wear indicator bars that are located on your tyre, as they won’t conform to Australian Roadworthy Standards.

Checking Your Tyres
The markings on the wall of your tyre may look like a secret code, but they tell you just about everything you need to know about the tyre – from the kind of vehicle the tyre was made for, to the maximum speed it’s designed for.

Tyre Rotation

Regular rotation of tyres is a proven method for promoting even wear and therefore extending tread life. If uneven wear has occurred, this may be due to worn suspension components, vehicle misalignment or incorrect tyre balance. These concerns cannot be corrected by simply rotating the tyres. Your local tyre retailer should correct these problems.

Front to back same side rotation is acceptable when tyres are wearing unevenly. If the spare is included in the rotation it should be exchanged with the tyre allocated to the right hand rear position.

Tyre Pressures

Maintaining the correct pressure is the easiest, yet most important thing you can do to get the best performance, economy and safety from your tyres. Information relating to the correct pressure should be available from your vehicle’s tyre placard however, considering these points may help:

Different driving conditions require different pressures. For example, a higher pressure is usually recommended for high speed driving or when carrying or towing a heavier than normal load. Seek advice on what is best for you and your car.

Tyre pressure should be checked when tyres are cold, as pressures will increase when tyres warm up.

Under inflation of tyres can cause them to experience uneven or rapid tread wear, as well as lead to an increase in fuel consumption. In addition, under inflation reduces your vehicles braking and handling capabilities, and can ultimately lead to serious tyre failure.

Where possible, carry your own tyre pressure gauge.

Sealing valve caps must ALWAYS be used, the best being the metal type.

Here Are a Few Tips

Check your tyre pressures regularly, once a fortnight is recommended and ideally when your tyres are cold. Inspect tread and sidewalls for cuts and abrasions, bulges, unusual wear and road damage.

If the tyre receives a severe impact, ask your tyre retailer to check for internal damage. Do not repair cuts in sidewalls of radial ply tyres.

Avoid using ‘sealants’ or other liquid preparations to prevent deflation. These may cause the valve to stick open slightly, causing pressure loss and indirectly causing corrosion of steel belts.

Driving on under inflated tyres is almost certain to cause serious damage, always inflate tyres to the suggested pressure.

Take action immediately to rectify any unusual sounds or vibrations. Tyre balance and vehicle wheel alignment should be checked regularly, (ie every 10,000km), especially if your tyres are subjected to rough roads or aggressive driving.

Tyre wear on front wheel drive vehicles is a little higher and therefore, attention to tyre pressures as well as rotation should be made on a regular basis.

Your tyres are essential for your safety, serving as the only connection between your vehicle and the road. Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and extends the life of your tyres. Keep them in top shape for a smoother, safer drive every time.

Fuel Saving Tips
TIPS TO HELP YOU IMPROVE YOUR MILAGE.
Check your tyre pressure at least once a month.

Correct tyre inflation pressure is critical for good fuel economy, tread life and vehicle performance. The recommended tyre pressure for your vehicle is located on a sticker inside your driver-side door or noted in your owner’s manual.

Check your air filter for clogs.

Replacing a clogged air filter can improve a vehicle’s petrol consumption.

Use the correct oil.

Make sure you use the grade of motor oil recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Service your vehicle regularly.

Regular vehicle maintenance can also improve fuel consumption.
