Tips to maintain your Maruti Eeco
The Maruti Eeco is simple to maintain, and a few good habits can help you keep the vehicle running smoothly for years. Here’s how to take care of it:
General care
If you want to maximise your car's performance and avoid big issues down the line, keep these general care tips in mind.
- Try to give your car a quick visual check every few days, because spotting small issues early can save you from expensive repairs later on.
- Keep an eye on the warning lights on the dashboard; these small indicators usually alert you to problems before they become serious.
- Replace the battery on time to avoid any long-term damage.
- Ensure all fluids, such as engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid, are topped off regularly to keep the car running smoothly.
- If you hear any unusual or strange noises coming from your car while driving, have it checked as soon as possible.
- Strictly follow the recommended service schedule provided by Maruti to keep your Eeco in top condition.
Driving habits
As the owner of the car, you’re also responsible for driving it safely to avoid damage and ensuring it runs smoothly for a long time.
- Try to accelerate and brake gently because smoother driving puts less stress on the engine, brakes, and suspension.
- Keeping your foot on the clutch constantly damages the clutch plate. Avoid doing this, especially in traffic.
- Go slow on bad roads, i.e., uneven roads or potholes, and avoid them if possible, as they can affect your car's suspension.
- Check your car’s tyre pressure at least once a week, as proper pressure helps the car perform more efficiently.
- If the tyres appear damaged or worn out, replace them immediately, as this can be hazardous while driving.
- Do not overload the car, especially if you are using it for commercial purposes. This can cause significant damage to the tyres and suspension.
Engine care
The engine is basically the heart of your Eeco, so giving it a little regular attention helps it perform at its best.
- Give the engine a few seconds to warm up on cold days, allowing the oil to circulate properly before you start driving.
- Check the engine oil level and change it on time, because fresh oil helps the engine stay smooth and trouble-free.
- Always use the recommended oil grade, as using the correct one ensures the engine performs exactly as Maruti Suzuki intended.
- If the car feels heavy, vibrates oddly, or the mileage suddenly drops, get the engine checked before the issue becomes more expensive.
Interior care
A clean and fresh car not only makes sure your car stays in great condition, but also uplifts the mood of everyone in the car and makes the drive more enjoyable.
- Vacuum the cabin regularly to prevent dust, dirt, and crumbs from accumulating and causing more significant problems.
- Use mild cleaners on seats, dashboard, and door trims to prevent stains and keep surfaces looking fresh.
- Clean the AC vents periodically to maintain good airflow and prevent musty odours. Additionally, you can keep air fresheners to maintain the freshness of the car.
- It is recommended not to smoke inside the car because the smoke smell will adhere to the seats and fabrics, making it difficult to remove.
- Do not eat inside the car too often to reduce the chances of spills, stains, and odours.
Exterior care
Taking care of the outside appearance is just as important as taking care of the inside. The exterior is exposed to the sun, rain, dust, and pollution every day, so a bit of extra care really helps it age beautifully.
- Apply wax or polish every few months to keep the paint shiny, protected, and looking newer for a longer period.
- Wash the car daily to remove dirt, mud, and bird droppings, which can damage the paint if left for an extended period.
- Try parking in the shade because this will help prevent the paint from fading and the cabin from getting extremely hot.
- If parking in the shade is not possible, you can consider using sunshades when parked.
- During monsoons, rinse the underbody to wash away mud and prevent rust from forming in hidden areas over time.
- Eeco body panels rust easily if scratches are left unattended. Check for rust spots and treat them immediately.
