Tips to Maintain Your Maruti Baleno

The real value of things is in how well you take care of it, and taking good care of your Baleno doesn’t have to be complicated. A few simple habits make a big difference to performance, mileage, and running costs. Let's take a look.

General Care

A few simple steps can help you catch small issues before they become expensive repairs.

  • Always follow the recommended schedule set by Maruti even if your car feels fine or even if you don’t drive it often.
     
  • Check the condition of belts and hoses occasionally, since worn-out parts can lead to sudden breakdowns, which can be dangerous when you’re on the road.
     
  • If your car starts making any unusual or weird noises, that’s your car’s way of telling you that something is wrong. Don’t ignore these sounds and get it checked as soon as possible so you can fix them before they turn into more serious (and expensive issues).
     
  • Replace the battery of your car on time, this prevents it from further or worse damage.
     
  • Make sure all lights, i.e., headlamps, indicators, and tail lights are functioning properly.

Driving Habits

As the owner of the car you’re also responsible for driving it well to avoid damaging it and ensuring it runs smoothly for a long time.

  • Don’t accelerate or brake with too much force. Drive smoothly or gently so it does not damage your car and helps keep it performing at its best.
     
  • Go slow on potholes and uneven roads because it can damage not just the tires, but also the engine and your suspension belts.
     
  • Make sure to take breaks on long trips - stopping every 2-3 hours is ideal so as to give the engine a break and avoid overheating.
     
  • Your Baleno has a limit when it comes to capacity, try to not overload it because the excess weight will damage the tires and suspension.

Engine Care

Your Maruti Baleno’s engine is the heart of the vehicle, and keeping the heart healthy is one of the important parts of making sure your beloved Baleno functions well for years.

  • Allow your engine to warm up before you start driving. This allows the oil to circulate well and reduces the chances of premature damage. Stick to this rule especially during the winter.
     
  • Similarly let your engine sit idle for 30 to 60 seconds before you turn the car off. It gives the engine the chance to cool down properly.
     
  • Be consistent when it comes to checking the coolant, brake fluid, and other essential fluids.
     
  • To prevent overheating of the engine it’s important to change the engine oil regularly, which in turn also keeps your engine running smoothly.

Interior Care

A clean cabin not only looks good but also keeps the car feeling fresh and comfortable. A few easy habits can help maintain the interior for years.

  • Daily cleaning like vacuuming the interior of your car can reduce the accumulation of dust and crumbs. Cleaning the interior regularly is less burdensome than cleaning too much at one time.
     
  • Always use car-friendly cleaning agents on the seats, dashboards and door trims to prevent stains and keep surfaces looking fresh.
     
  • You can use sunshades when you park to avoid the inside of your car getting too heated, or park in shaded areas whenever possible.
     
  • Try to avoid eating inside the car too often to reduce the chances of spills, stains, and odours.

Exterior Care

Just as you take care of the interior, the exterior of your car is also important - after all it's the first thing you (and everyone) will notice about your car.

  • Wash the car regularly to remove dust, mud, and even bird droppings because that can damage the paint over time.
     
  • Consider applying wax to your car every few months to protect the paint.
     
  • Clean the headlights and taillights to keep them functioning well and avoid accidents on the road.
     
  • Check the exterior every now and then for small scratches or paint chips and get them fixed early to prevent rusting and permanent damage.
     
  • Using a car cover can also help in keeping it look brand new and sharp as ever.
