What is brake fluid? Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic fluid, is responsible for moving the various components of your Hyundai’s braking system and also prevents corrosion within this system. Brake fluid operates under high temperatures and extremely high pressure. Without it, your vehicle would not be able to stop when you push your brake pedal.
How long does brake fluid last? Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means that it absorbs moisture. It accumulates increasing amounts of water over time and as a result, its boiling point eventually decreases. The reduced boiling point of your brake fluid can eventually reach levels that will have a negative impact on your braking ability.
How is this corrected? Hyundai Canada recommends having your brake fluid removed and replaced with Hyundai-approved brake fluid every 3 years. Performing a brake fluid replacement involves removing the existing brake fluid and moisture out of the braking system and replacing it with brand new, Hyundai-approved brake fluid.
Is it time to schedule your brake fluid replacement? Our Hyundai Certified Technicians know your vehicle best. Having this service performed will ensure safe brake system performance and increase the lifespan of your brake system components.
What is the purpose of antifreeze/coolant? Antifreeze/coolant is designed to keep your engine running at normal operating temperatures and to prevent freezing during the cold winter months. Why is an antifreeze/coolant replacement important? Over time and kilometres driven, your antifreeze/coolant loses its chemical properties and becomes contaminated with rust and scale deposits—resulting in...
What is a serpentine belt? Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a serpentine belt, also known as a drive belt. Serpentine belts have replaced other types of belts because a single belt is more compact, less expensive to replace and simpler to install compared to multiple belts. By “snaking” around the various pulleys, both sides of a serpentine belt can grip and be used to drive components in the...
What are Shocks & Struts? The purpose of shocks & struts is to maximize your tires contact with the road, especially on poor road conditions and in severe braking situations. Hyundai has optimized the design of their shocks & struts to handle most road conditions while providing a comfortable ride – although safety is always the primary concern. How long do shocks & struts last? Over 120,000...
