Tips to maintain your Maruti Ignis

Regular service visits alone are not enough; you need to put in a little extra effort to ensure your Maruti Ignis performs optimally for a long time. Taking care of it is not difficult; all you have to do is follow these simple everyday care tips mentioned below. Let’s take a look!

General care

A few simple steps can help you identify small issues before they escalate into major problems, which can require expensive repairs.

• Always strictly follow the recommended schedule set by Maruti, even if your car feels fine or you don’t drive it often.
   
• Pay attention to the warning lights. If you notice the blinking lights on your dashboard, don't ignore them. Have them checked at the earliest opportunity to avoid more significant issues from developing.
   
• Similarly, if your car starts making any unusual noises, don't ignore it. It usually means there’s something wrong, and it should be checked as soon as possible so you can fix it before it turns into more serious issues.
   
• Check your tyre pressure at least once every two weeks, or before long trips. It’s always better to double-check this to be safe when you’re on the road.
   
• Ensure that you replace the battery on time to avoid starting issues, especially if you notice slow cranking or dim lights.

Driving habits

How you drive your car matters, and as the owner, you’re responsible for driving it safely to avoid damage and ensuring it runs smoothly for a long time.

• While you cannot avoid bad roads, you can still avoid the potholes or at least drive carefully around them to avoid causing damage to your tyres, suspension, and even the engine.
   
• After starting your car, wait a few seconds and allow the engine time to warm up. This is especially important during the winter and monsoon when the days are cold.
   
• Drive your car gently. Do not accelerate or brake harshly or suddenly. This helps lower the stress on the brakes and the engine.
   
• Maintain a steady speed while driving, especially on the highway.
   
• Try not to exceed the weight limit of your car, as overloading it can cause long-term damage, especially on long trips.

Engine care

Your Ignis' engine is the heart of the vehicle, and keeping it healthy is one of the most important parts of ensuring your car functions well for years.

• Always use the oil grade recommended by Maruti.
   
• Change the engine oil regularly, as fresh oil helps reduce and prevent problems like overheating.
   
• Give the engine a few seconds to warm up on cold days, allowing the oil to circulate properly before you start driving.
   
• Similarly, let the engine idle for a few seconds before switching it off. This helps prevent any premature wear and tear of the engine and its components.
   
• Check the coolant levels regularly and top up when needed. Never mix coolants; strictly adhere to the recommended type for your car.

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.

• Clean and vacuum the cabin regularly to prevent dust, dirt, and crumbs from accumulating and becoming a significant problem.
   
• Keep the AC running for some time, even in winter, to ensure the system operates smoothly and efficiently.
   
• Use mild cleaners on seats, dashboard, and door trims to prevent stains and keep surfaces looking fresh.
   
• Try to avoid eating inside the car too often to reduce the chances of spills, stains, and odours.
   
• It is advisable to avoid smoking inside the car as the smoke will stick to the fabrics in the car and leave a lingering smell that’s hard to get rid of.
   
• Don’t forget to clean the AC vents as well. Dust tends to accumulate there; keeping it clean improves airflow and also the quality of air circulating in the car.

Exterior care

Just as you take care of the interior, the exterior of your car is also important. The outside of your car faces the most exposure, so regular attention helps protect the paint and bodywork

• Wash your car every day or every few days to remove dust, bird droppings, and other elements that can affect the paint quality.
   
• Park in the shade whenever possible or use a car cover to protect the paint from the sun and rain.
   
• If you want your car to shine or simply protect it from UV rays, consider waxing it occasionally to keep it looking as new as the day you bought it.
   
• Clean the headlights and taillights, and repair them if damaged to ensure they function properly and prevent accidents.
   
• If you spot scratches, get them fixed early to prevent rusting and more significant problems (and higher bills).
