If you own an all-electric ZDX or one of Acura's superb hybrid models, you'll want to know how to keep your luxury car in tip-top condition. Electric vehicles require specific maintenance procedures, as outlined in the Acura EV maintenance tips below, some of which are very different from those of conventional gasoline-powered cars. Your local Acura dealer can make it easier for you and help ensure your car keeps running at peak performance for its full potential lifespan. Acura EV Maintenance: 7 Essential Tips for Peak Performance and Longevity Don't Fully Deplete Your Battery Pack The electric motor that powers your car will have impressive longevity as long as it's protected from harmful conditions One factor that threatens the lifespan of an EV's battery is persistent undercharging; try to keep your battery more than 20 percent charged at all times. more Don't Overcharge Your Battery Either Similarly, overcharging stains an EV battery, accelerating its degradation. For this reason, it's best to keep it under 80 percent of a full charge at all times. Be warned that overnight charging can be risky, as it might take the battery to 100 percent each night. Avoid Overuse of Fast-Charging Stations You might not know that fast charging also takes a toll on EV batteries. While unavoidably convenient on occasional long trips, fast charging stations aren't the healthiest way to replenish the battery pack in the long run. Stick to gentler 120 or 240-volt charging whenever you can. Keep Your Car Protected From the Heat As with an ordinary car's 12-volt battery, EV battery packs are susceptible to damage from extreme temperatures. Our sweltering Texan sunshine can negatively impact your battery If you leave the car unprotected by shade. Always park out of direct sunlight when possible, and keep the motor's cooling system in great shape with regular maintenance. Refresh All Vehicle Fluids as Required All your vehicle fluids will need to be checked, topped up, and occasionally flushed. If you're driving a hybrid, this will include changing the gas engine's oil. Check your owner's manual for the recommended flushing intervals on each fluid. Book Brake Inspections at Your Acura Dealer Both the hydraulic and regenerative brakes of your EV will steadily wear down through continual use. It's advisable to have your brakes examined by a trusted technician at least twice a year. And worn-out parts should be promptly replaced. Save Your Tires From Premature Wear As with any road vehicle, the tires are vital for road safety. Check the air pressure in each tire frequently, keeping the PSI at precisely the recommended level. Also, have your tires rotated twice a year or more to combat uneven wear. Learning how to upkeep a new type of vehicle can be a little stressful during the first few months.

Acura is one of the safest vehicle manufacturers ever and a recipient of numerous awards. With a continued focus on a zero-collision society, Acurawatch is a range of safety features that surround you and your vehicle in layers of protection. In addition, advanced body construction provides additional support to protect you against an impact. Let's look at some of these Acura safety features and how they protect you. Acura Safety Features: Building Toward a Zero-Collision Society Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) This type of construction is standard on all Acuras. ACE construction is designed to receive and distribute frontal force away from the cabin and disperse it harmlessly. The design features several elements: front corner braces, strengthened outer braces, and strategically placed rigidity and crumple zones. more The front corner braces distribute energy from offset collisions where a small section of the front end absorbs all the impact force. These braces allow the impact to be safely resisted without the affected section collapsing. The outer bases transfer impact energy away from the cabin, directing it around your vehicle to the rear. Finally, the crumple zones absorb energy and provide additional protection as the material strengthens as it crumples back on itself. AcuraWatch Safety System This interconnected range of safety systems uses cameras, sensors, and radar to watch a 360-degree area around your Acura and identify any potential issues or threats. These are a few of the features that are standard in every Acura: Lane Keeping Assist This system works to keep you in your lane. When you're driving, you can easily shift partly into another lane, especially if you're distracted or tired. It uses a camera and sensors to identify the lane diving lines. If you cross into another lane, the system sounds a warning that you need to pull back into your lane. Adaptive Cruise Control This system can be programmed to keep a set following distance between your Acura and another vehicle. Once you've set the speed you want, the cruise control takes over and will maintain your preset speed and distance. It also intervenes with limited braking if necessary to maintain the set distance. Jewel Eye LED Headlights These low, wide headlights provide 6-beam illumination in the darkness. They combine the whiteness of the LEDs with fog lights to mimic natural sunlight. This improves distance visibility while reducing eyestrain and making colors appear more vivid. Blind Spot Assistance You never have to worry about blind spots again when you drive an Acura. Sensors monitor your vehicle's blind spots and can detect any vehicle or pedestrian that enters their field of vision. The system then alerts you using audio and visual warnings so you can take action to prevent an accident. If you'd like to know more about these safety features, visit us today at Fox Acura of El Paso in El Paso, TX.

Acura vehicles are engineered to be incredibly fuel-efficient for urban and suburban drivers. However, adopting economical driving practices can increase your Acura fuel efficiency, help your engine and transmission last longer, and even make you a safer driver. Economical Driving: Maximizing Your Acura Fuel Efficiency Just like mastering parallel driving, you can master the skill of driving more economically. Simple changes to your driving habits, such as cutting back on aggressive speeding and braking, can make a huge difference in the fuel efficiency of your vehicle. Whether you are driving in the city or on the freeway, it's more economical to gradually accelerate and slowly bring your car to a stop. Other tips for economical driving include: more Follow the Speed Limit While you should always maintain the same traffic speed as the cars around you on the highway, you should keep in mind that high speeds can burn through excessive fuel. The gas mileage of your vehicle will usually start to decrease once you drive over 50 MPH. If your Acura has a cruise control feature, you can use the feature when you are on the freeway to maintain a fuel-efficient driving speed. Reduce Cargo Weight The weight of your vehicle has a direct impact on how efficiently your car uses fuel. If you normally load up a roof rack with a full cargo carrier or your cargo area is filled with donations you've been meaning to drop off, then the overall efficiency of your vehicle might be reduced. Removing the excess cargo weight from your vehicle is particularly important for smaller cars. While you don't have to uninstall your cargo box carrier, you might want to make sure the carrier is empty of gear you don't need. The same goes for emptying your trunk or cargo area, aside from your roadside emergency kit. If you notice your fuel economy is still poor after removing excess weight, then you might want to schedule service at the dealership to see if any underlying mechanical features are causing your fuel efficiency to drop. Limit Idling If you frequently find yourself in stop-and-go traffic, then it might be hard to stop idling your vehicle unless your Acura engine has automatic start-stop technology. Idling your vehicle in low-speed traffic or even just having your engine on while you're parked in your driveway can significantly impact your vehicle's fuel efficiency. It's better to turn your engine off completely if traffic isn't moving. Not only is economical driving easier on your brakes and engine, but it can also make sure every ounce of fuel in the gas tank is used efficiently. You can also maintain your engine's economical performance when you service your Acura at Fox Acura of El Paso in El Paso, TX.

Hybrid vehicles are so named because they combine combustion and electric power, offering you the best of both worlds. The combination gives you the benefit of less maintenance, improved fuel economy, and lower emissions. To keep your environmentally friendly Acura in top condition, follow the valuable Acura hybrid maintenance tips below from your Acura dealer. Hybrid Maintenance Tips for Your Eco-Friendly Ride From Your Acura Dealer Drive Your Hybrid Hybrid vehicles typically incorporate two types of batteries: a high-voltage battery pack and a conventional car battery. The high-voltage battery pack collects and stores energy from the internal combustion engine and regenerative braking system, while the car battery supplies power to the electrical components. Drive your hybrid regularly to maintain a proper charge. more Maintain Your Hybrid and Car Batteries Maintaining the hybrid and car batteries will prolong their lifespan and performance, ensuring your vehicle's fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. Refer to your owner's manual for the service schedule and follow the recommended intervals. Our certified Acura technicians provide comprehensive battery inspections, testing, and replacement services for both your batteries. Change the Oil at the Recommended Intervals Even though hybrid vehicles generally use less oil than traditional gas-powered vehicles, following the manufacturer's recommendations will keep your engine well-lubricated and protected. Changing the oil filter is also essential to prevent harmful contaminants from entering the engine. Regularly Check the Coolant Hybrids require specific fluids, such as inverter coolant, which need regular checks and replacements. The inverter converts the high-voltage power from the battery pack into the power necessary to operate the electric motor and regulate the energy flow during regenerative braking. The coolant is responsible for dissipating the heat generated by the inverter and maintaining a safe temperature. Keep the Air Filters Clean Your hybrid has an engine air filter, and some hybrids also have an air-cooled battery pack with a fan filter. The engine air filter prevents contaminants from reaching your engine. A dirty engine air filter can strain the engine, increasing your hybrid's fuel consumption. The hybrid battery fan filter cools the battery and keeps dirt out of the fan and away from the battery. Regularly cleaning and replacing these filters will optimize performance and extend the life of your engine and hybrid battery. Schedule Regular Brake Inspections The regenerative braking system converts your hybrid's forward motion into electricity, slowing and stopping your car while recharging the hybrid battery. Although this system generally has a longer brake life, it requires specialized care. Regular brake inspections by your Acura technician are an important maintenance task to ensure your safety on the road. Inspect and Rotate Your Tires Since hybrids often have specific tire requirements, it's best to speak to us and check your owner's manual for recommendations on tires, pressure, and replacements. Regularly inspecting your tires, keeping the pressure at the correct levels, and rotating them during every oil change will prolong their lifespan. Keep your hybrid performing optimally by following the tips above and relying on certified Acura technicians to maintain your vehicle. Stop at Fox Acura of El Paso, TX, today for more details on your hybrid's maintenance requirements, and we'll answer all your questions.
