Honda Jazz sets new benchmark in the segment

The first drive of the last Jazz was held in Goa and, this time as well, Honda Cars India organised the first drive of the new Jazz in the beach state. The last time, the Indian car market was not as mature and customers were not willing to pay Rs 8 lakh-plus for a premium hatchback. Today, there are a number of hatchbacks priced in excess of Rs 9 lakh, and some even have a waiting period of more than four months. 

The new Jazz is a third-generation model. Honda has already sold 5.5 million units globally since this car first went on sale in 2001. The new car looks a lot like the previous one, since it is more a cross between a hatchback and a MUV rather than a straightforward hatchback. From the front it looks similar to the new Honda City. The grille at the front has a Piano Black bar running across with a curved chrome trim below and a Honda logo in chrome on top.

The narrow grille merges into the wrap-around headlamps, giving the car a sporty look. It is from the side that the Jazz looks a little like an MPV. At the rear, it gets LED tail- and stop-lamps. To go with the frontal sporty design, there is a spoiler on the rear tailgate. 

The interiors say that this is a global car, not just an India or Asia model. The quality of plastic and fabric is superior compared to its siblings, the Brio and Amaze. The three-meter display expresses a clean and sporty design.

10 Basic Car Care and Maintenance Tips

 

 A car is an important personal investment, but owning one, whether it’s a new car or a used car, takes a lot of hard work. It has to be well taken care of to ensure its reliability and prevent breakdowns. Used cars especially need extra attention as they are more difficult and more expensive to maintain than new cars.

Following a regular maintenance routine will help extend the life of your car as well as keep your car’s performance at its peak. It will also save you a lot of money in repairs. Here are 10 basic car care and maintenance tips to follow.

1. Drive with care
Do not accelerate your engine during start-up as this quickly adds to the wear of the car’s engine. Accelerate slowly when you begin your drive. Shift to neutral at red lights to give the engine some time to rest. Be car considerate and you will be rewarded with longer time between repairs.

2. Wash your car once a week
Washing your car keeps it clean, shiny and free from corrosion. Remember to clean the car interior too. Dirt particles are abrasive while spilled liquids such as sodas and juices can be corrosive. Vacuum your car interior thoroughly and wipe the lenses on the dashboard with a soft damp cloth. Take your mats out and brush or hose them down. This will remove dirt that may otherwise create wear in your mats if they build up. Dry the mats thoroughly in the sun before placing them back in the car.

3. Wax your car too
Waxing your car regularly protects you car’s paint job by slowing oxidation and by creating a barrier against bird droppings and pollution. It also makes the car look good by adding extra shine.

4. Park in the shade
Parking your car in the shade prevents interior damage by UV rays and protects your car’s paint job. If a shaded area is not available, use a car shade to minimise the sun’s impact.

Tips to Getting Your Vehicle Ready For Winter

Car Care Tips from the Pros Prepare You for Fall and Winter Driving

It’s foolhardy to head out in a poorly maintained vehicle in the dead of winter, of course, but even vehicle owners in temperate zones need a car care check as the days grow shorter, note the pros with the SolitaireHonda.

Regular, routine maintenance can help improve your gasoline mileage, reduce pollution, and catch minor problems before they become big headaches. Solitaire Honda offers these car care tips to give you peace of mind during fall and winter driving:

• Before you do anything else, read your owner’s manual and follow the manufacturer’s recommended service schedules.
• Get engine performance and driveability problems — hard starts, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc. — corrected at a reputable repair shop that employs ASE-certified repair professionals. Cold weather makes existing problems worse.
• Replace dirty filters, such as air, fuel, and PCV. A poorly running engine is less efficient and burns more gasoline.
• As the temperature drops below freezing, add a bottle of fuel deicer in your tank once a month to help keep moisture from freezing in the fuel line. Keeping the gas tank filled also helps prevent moisture from forming.
• Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual — more often if your driving is mostly stop-and-go or consists of frequent short trips. A poll of ASE Master Auto Technicians revealed that regular oil and filter changes is one of the most frequently neglected services, yet one that is essential to protect your engine.
• The cooling system should be flushed and refilled as recommended. The level, condition, and concentration of the coolant should be checked periodically. A 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water is usually recommended. Do-It-Yourselfers: Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled!

Tips On How To Maintain Your Tyres

Tyres are expensive, period. You may need a replacement once in 4 – 5 years. However, by the end of that period, your tyre could easily be torn down to shreds, if proper care wasn’t given to it. The minimum legal tread depth is 1.5 mm, while some may choose to use beyond that, it can lead to dire consequences. Proper maintenance should ensure safer driving and prolong the life of your tyres. With Proper Maintenance of Tyre you should also do your Car Servicing Properly for Your car Performance. We offer Best Car Servicing at Our Solitaire Honda Car Service Center in Mumbai. Book Your Servicing Now or Contact Us for More Information About Honda Car Servicing in Mumbai.

We provide you with 5 tips to maintaining your tyres and increasing their shelf life.

• Maintain Correct Tyre Pressure The most important aspect of maintaining a car’s tyres is checking and maintaining the correct tyre pressure. Your owner’s manual will inform you the correct pressure for your tyres. Tyres lose air pressure after continuous driving and are needed to be refilled every month or so. Check the pressure on a fortnightly basis on all four tyres. The best time to do so is when in the morning, when the air is cold. You should also keep a tab on the PSI level of spare wheel on a monthly basis. You can also choose to fill your tyres with nitrogen, which needs to be checked only once in two months.


• Rotate TyresTyre rotation is important for reducing uneven tyre wear. Regular rotation of your tyres will save your money by increasing the life of your tyres and give you a smoother and a safer ride. In front wheel drive cars, the front tyres are subjected to more wear and tear as compared to the rear ones. Your manual will tell you when to rotate the tyres on your vehicle. Make sure you also find out, if they are directional tyres or non-directional tyres. The rotating technique is different for both. If you have a full sized spare, you could choose to rotate it along with the other tyres, and use the most worn out tyre as a spare.

How to Avoid Skidding and Aquaplaning in Monsoon

While skidding and aquaplaning are not unavoidable situation, here are some steps to help you recover this Situations in Monsoon.

Rains bring with them the twin hazards of skidding and aquaplaning. It can be a scary situation to be caught in either of them and can spell disaster if reacted to in an instinctive manner.

A skid usually occurs when there’s a loss of traction due to hard braking on a slippery road or when you’re taking a sharp turn at high speeds. Aquaplaning, on the other hand, occurs when water builds up in front of your car’s tyres with such pressure that your car loses contact with the road, rises up and slides, or rather floats, over a thin layer of water between the tyres and the surface. It can occur at any speeds – even 50kph – though at higher speeds, the danger rises exponentially. During aquaplaning, you may even lose steering ability briefly as the tyres are unable to draw any traction from the road.



Here are some precautions to prevent skidding and aquaplaning :

1. Tyre Check: Bald or worn-out tyres are more susceptible to hydroplaning. Ensure they have sufficient tread depth. You can check the tread depth by taking this simple one rupee coin test. Also, keep tyres inflated with the correct air pressure.


2. Go Slow: The faster you go, the more difficult it gets for tyres to expel water from under them. When the roads are wet, drive slowly and carefully, especially on curves.


3. Water Alert: Avoid driving through puddles and waterlogged roads and stay in the middle lane as water tends to pool in the outer lanes.


You may have followed all the precautions, but what must you do in case your car still Skids or Aquaplanes?

1. While your instinct would be to slam the brakes, stay calm and refrain from hard braking. If your car has antilock braking system or ABS, then brake normally. Pump the brakes with gentle thrusts and steer the car into the direction you want it to go.

2. Do not accelerate either. Gently lift your foot off the gas pedal to slow down the car until it regains traction.

3. During aquaplaning, your car might start swaying sideways over the water. Try steering the car in the direction you want it to go (though it’s possible you may not have any steering control at all) until your tyres reconnect with the surface.

It is recommended that cars should have a minimum of 4mm tread depth to avoid the chances of aquaplaning. If the car does get aquaplane, stay calm and take your foot off the accelerator, do not touch the brakes or steer the car. As the car slows down the tyres will regain grip and it will be possible to regain control of the vehicle. Never drive too fast during rains as aquaplaning occurs all the more at high speeds.
