Feeling Drained? Here is how to jumpstart a vehicle with a battery booster pack

By

It can be a great plan to keep a vehicle battery booster pack in your vehicle. That way, you can jump start your battery even if you can’t get another vehicle to help you.

Before you proceed, make sure:

  • The vehicle battery does not look damaged and isn’t leaking.
  • You’ve taken off any metal accessories and removed dangling clothing like a tie or scarf.

Steps to using a vehicle battery booster

1. Check the battery booster

  • Make sure the packs fully charged
  • Put the battery booster pack somewhere stable. Don’t put it on the engine as it might fall off when the engine starts.

2. Connect the red jump lead

  • Connect the red positive (+) jump lead from the battery pack to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle battery.

3. Connect the black jump lead

  • Connect the black negative (-) jump lead to an earthing point on your vehicle. Unpainted metal on the engine block or vin is the best.

4. Switch on the pack

  • Once the battery packs connected, switch on the pack.

5. Try to start the vehicle

  • Try to proceed your vehicle by turning the key in the ignition.
  • If it does not start after a few tries, there’s probably a more serious problem that needs attention.

6. Let the engine run

  • If the vehicle starts, keep the engine running for about five minutes.
  • After five minutes switch off the booster and allow the engine to run for a further five to ten minutes.

7. Turn off and disconnect

  • Turn off the engine.
  • Take out the leads in the reverse order to how you placed them on (first disconnect the black lead, then the red lead).

8. Restart your vehicle

  • Try turning the keys in the ignition to see if the car starts up again.

What to do after you’ve jump started your vehicle

If you’ve managed to jump start your vehicle, the engine will need to recharge again fully.

Charge the engine by driving normally (not in stop-start traffic) for at least thirty minutes. You can also use a portable vehicle battery charger to top up the charger on your battery.

How often should you change a vehicle battery?

On average, batteries last between 5 and 7 years but you should only consider changing a vehicle battery when it’s showing signs of worsening.

If the battery’s more than five years old and seems like it’s struggling to start the car, get if checked out. It’s better to be safe than sorry-it’ll be worse if it’s a roadside emergency or on a chilly morning when you’re already late for work.

Fuel Saver Tips! Maximize your fuel economy

By

We all dread the announcement of fuel price hikes and feel the pinch in our pockets, but there are a few things we could do to stretch our fuel economy so we can get the most bang for our buck! The improvement of gas mileage will help our vehicles function optimally and improve our vehicles’ fuel efficiency.

Fuel saving tip for best fuel economy

Here are some fuel saving tips that will help you get the most out of your trip to the gas station:

  • Do not park your car in the sun! Due to evaporation from the sun, this can cause your vehicles fuel level to gradually decrease.
  • Keep your engine healthy. It is said that engine care can significantly boost your gas mileage and reduce fuel consumption, however, if for example something like a spark plug misfire happens to your vehicle, this can increase fuel consumption by 30%
    • Save
    A green metal license plate with words Save Fuel illustrating the importance of gas savings and finding alternative power sources for transportation
  • Do not slam the brakes! When you unnecessarily slam the brakes, you waste energy and use up extra fuel. Always bear in mind that repeated braking uses up energy.
  • Clean your air filter. Choked air filters make your engine struggle to breathe and is one of the causes of poor fuel consumption.
  • Tyre Pressure plays a vital role in ensuring you maximize your fuel economy. Make sure your tyres are adequately inflated. Reports show that under inflation of the tyre by 25% can cause a 5% increase in fuel consumption and a 25% decrease in tyre life span!

Car Maintenance Tips for Winter

By

Winter can be a challenging time for vehicle owners. The colder the weather and the heavier the rain, can cause problems for tyres, engines, and other functionalities. You can ride your car smoothly and safely in the winter months. Here are some tips to maintain your car during winter.

    Vehicle Maintenance Battery Check
  • Is your battery fully juiced?
    Winter puts a lot of stress on your battery if you park your car outdoors. Avoid the sinking feeling of hearing nothing when you hit the ignition with a proactive check of your battery and charging system. Repair shops don’t usually charge very much to load test your battery, some car parts stores will do it for free. If you find out your battery’s going down, you can replace it at your convenience, instead of being at the point of whatever shop your dead car’s been towed to.
    • Vehicle Maintenance Engine Check
  • Check your parts
    To improve aerodynamics and save fuel, today’s cars are equipped with increasingly elaborate underbody panels and low-hanging front spoilers. These can be vulnerable to damage, driving over heavy floods in the winter could turn a small problem into a more expensive one by ripping off the entire panel and maybe it’s mounting hardware. So, before the ground’s too cold to lie on, look under the car, starting from front, to see if there’s anything loose flapping about. Maybe you can put it back to place. A cable tie will take care of it or even duct tape.
    • Exterior
  • Stop or at least slow corrosion
    Vehicles resistance to corrosion has come a long way in the last few years. Give the car a good look-over (preferably after a wash) for any scratches or dings where the damage goes through the paint that is, you can see bare metal underneath. These need some paint on them soon as possible. Obviously a professional repair is most effective, but if that’s not in budget, you can effect a quick fix yourself: The most basic approach is simple to clean the area with some kind of solvent (acetone and rubbing alcohol) and apply some clear coat nail polish will do. You can even buy touch up paint of your car’s colour and it will do the job. As for stopping rust to the underbody, the best thing you can do is to keep it clean with regularly washing. You can also use Fluid Film and spray a few cans on the metal bits of your underbody.
    • Vehicle Maintenance Headlight Check
  • Wax the lights
    It’s a little detail, but in winters gloom, every head light cleaned is going to improve your safety. Here’s an easy two-minute idea: Make sure the headlights are clean of dirt, then rub car wax (any type will do) on the lens, let it dry and buff it off, repeat. Also do the taillights. The slippery surface you leave behind will be less likely to build up an ice coat when you are driving in the morning and evening, it will make it easier to remove it if it does.
Back Tyre Check

Also keep in mind to check your tyre pressure weekly, keep your fuel tank half full and protect your wind shield wipers.

Vehicle maintenance is important. I hope these tips were useful and helps to make your driving safe and maintain the condition of your vehicle. With winter being the season where proper vehicle maintenance is perhaps at its most crucial period.

Winter Survival Guide

By

Safety is our Priority during this winter time

As we all feel the chilly bite of winter, so do our vehicles! Like a human body, the cold weather is also tough on our cars. Bakkies and SUV’s. If you are on the roads during the winter season – best you have everything in working order so your vehicle does not give you any unnecessary trouble, which most of the time can be avoided.

Think about it, if your vehicle had to stall out in the middle of nowhere during a stormy night, would you be prepared?

Winter Survival Tips

Here are some winter survival guidelines to ensure you don’t get stuck in the mud (literally)

  • Keep jumper cables on hand – You never know when you will need these! So, it’s best you keep them in your car and not laying around in your garage.
  • Fuel Up – Always ensure your gas is at least at the halfway mark because if your gas is close to being empty, this makes it susceptible to condensation which will prevent your car from starting.
  • Check your tires – An underinflated tire is prone to a blowout, which is a tear in the tire that results in rapid air loss. On the positive side, having tires adequately inflated will minimize your trips to the fuel station.
  • Windscreen Check – Make sure your current wipers aren’t streaking your windshield! Wiper blades being replaced is the difference between safe visibility and a possible accident, all because you were not able to see through the vehicle windshield.
  • Check your car battery – Temperature often influences your vehicle’s battery performance. If you have tried charging your car battery and it cannot hold a charge, you need to bring it to CMH Mahindra Durban, and our technicians will gladly assist you.
Promise to you

We at CMH Mahindra Durban use only genuine parts and manufacturer recommended oils for our vehicles. Our trained technicians are here to ensure your vehicle is repaired right the first time! Visit us at 901 Umgeni Rd or call us on 0313130800 or browse online at www.cmhmahindra.co.za

Safer drives and Safer lives!

Mahindra and Arrive Alive Partnership

Mahindra and Arrive Alive have partnered to bring awareness around road safety and responsible driving to all drivers across South Africa.

The key focus of the campaign is to educate and inform drivers on the importance of vehicle safety equipment, something many drivers tend to overlook. Mahindra has been given an award for achieving the highest crash-test score for a vehicle in the country.

GNCAP gave the XUV300 a full five-star vehicle safety rating in South Africa, making it one of the safest vehicles ever tested for the South African automotive market and ranked first on its #SaferCarsForAfrica ranking.

We know too well that the accident fatality rate on our South African roads has risen steadily over the years. Most of the time, the safety features of the vehicle are brushed aside, and more concentration is given to aesthetic and performance features.

In a bid to create safer roads, Mahindra and Arrive Alive have executed this excellent campaign, elements of the campaign will also include a demonstration on passive safety equipment like ISOFIX anchor points for child seats, airbags and side-impact bars and dynamic safety equipment like ABS brakes with the electronic brake-force distribution.

Come through and visit us at 901 Umgeni Road and our sales executives will take you on a tour of the XUV300 and explain to you the key safety features before you make your purchase decision, or call us on 0878133881, alternatively, browse our selection of vehicles online at www.cmhmahindra.co.za
