Tips to maintain your Maruti Ertiga
The Maruti Ertiga is relatively easy to maintain, and adopting a few good habits can help you keep your reliable MPV running smoothly for years. Here’s how to take care of it:
General care
When you take care of your car using a few simple methods, you’re helping maximise its performance and avoid big issues down the line. Keep these general care tips in mind.
- Follow the service schedule recommended by Maruti and avoid delaying or skipping your service appointments.
- Always check the tyre pressure, especially before long drives. Incorrect tyre pressure can be dangerous to you and your vehicle on the road.
- If you suddenly hear any strange noises coming from your car, it’s generally a sign that something is wrong. The same goes for blinking or warning lights on your dashboard. Take it to the nearest service centre for a quick check as soon as you can.
- Clean the radiator area regularly to avoid it from overheating.
- Park in the shade whenever possible to minimise the risk of UV damage to both the interior and exterior of your car.
Driving habits
Your car’s care is in your hands, quite literally. 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.
- Handle your car like you would a baby. Be gentle while driving; do not accelerate or brake harshly, as this can wear out the tyres, engine, and other components faster than you think.
- Maintain a steady speed on the highway to improve your mileage and reduce engine strain.
- Do not overload the car, especially when taking long trips. Doing that damages the tyres and the suspension of your car.
- Avoid taking repeated short trips, as the engine may not have sufficient time to reach its ideal temperature and may develop carbon buildup over time.
Engine care
The engine is basically the heart of your Ertiga, so giving it a little regular attention helps it perform at its best for many years.
- Change the engine oil regularly because fresh oil reduces wear, prevents overheating, and keeps the engine running smoothly.
- Replace spark plugs on time to avoid any starting issues.
- Check the coolant, brake fluid, and other essential fluids regularly to prevent overheating or brake issues. Be sure to never mix different types of coolant.
- Give the engine a few seconds to warm up on cold days, allowing the oil to circulate properly before you start driving. Also, give the engine a few seconds to idle and cool down before switching it off.
- Keep the air filter clean and replace it when necessary.
Interior care
A clean cabin not only looks good but also keeps the car feeling fresh and comfortable. A few simple habits, as mentioned below, can help maintain the interior for years.
- Clean the interior regularly, preferably with a vacuum, to prevent the dust and dirt from clogging any vents.
- Use sunshades when you’re parked, as this reduces UV damage to the dashboard and seats.
- Do not ignore any unusual smells; it could be an indicator of an AC or electrical issue.
- Avoid eating, drinking, and smoking inside the car as spills, crumbs, and ash can cause mould and pest problems. Additionally, it is challenging to eliminate the smell of smoke from the seats and fabrics in the car.
- Use car-friendly cleaning agents and use a microfiber cloth (this prevents minor scratches)
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.
- Wash the car regularly or at least weekly to remove dust, mud, and bird droppings, as these can damage the paint over time.
- Apply wax or ceramic coating to protect the paint from harsh weather elements.
- Inspect the exterior for small scratches or paint chips and get them fixed early to prevent rusting.
- Park in shaded areas whenever possible to protect the paint from harsh sunlight and reduce heat inside the cabin.
- Replace your wiper blades once a year to prevent streaking issues on your windshield.
- Inspect the underbody for mud buildup during monsoon drives.
