Have you ever been stranded because your vehicle won’t start? Well, if you haven’t you are one of the lucky ones. But eventually, it might happen to you! And there are some things that you might want to know what caused this, how to avoid it, and what to do in the event that you do find yourself in this situation. Luckily for you, that’s exactly what we are going to discuss. So, grab a seat, buckle up, and let us take you on a ride! Put these helpful tips to good use this upcoming season and come see our team for some service for your vehicle! 

What Caused My Dead Battery:

  • Leaving headlights, interior lights, flashers or the radio on when your vehicle isn’t running 
  • Using the air conditioner or heat when your vehicle isn’t running 
  • Low air temperatures, causing your battery to freeze 
  • Lack of battery maintenance
  • Not starting your vehicle for long periods of time 
  •  Failure of voltage regulator within the alternator 

How To Avoid A Dead Battery:

  • The easiest way to put your mind to ease that you won’t be in this situation is to service your battery regularly to make sure there are no issues. This is exceptionally important when temperatures start to drop drastically or after driving long miles. A technician can test your battery to ensure that it’s still in a good, healthy condition. 
  • Be smart with your vehicle. Don’t use certain features like the radio, chargers, or lights for long periods of time without starting your vehicle. This puts a lot of stress on your battery and can end up killing your battery altogether. 
  • Avoid extreme temperatures if you can. We encourage you to park your vehicle in your garage (if you have one). This can cut back on exposure to extreme temperatures and won’t be the mortality of your battery. 

What To Do When Your Battery Dies:

  • Of course, the first answer is to jump-start your vehicle. It’s always a great idea to keep a set of jumper cables inside your vehicle for emergencies whether that is you or another driver. Also, keep in mind that you should never try to jump start a battery if it is cracked or visibly leaking acid. 
  • Roadside assistance is a beautiful thing and is almost necessary. If you do find yourself stranded and in need of help, be sure to call roadside assistance for help. This is especially helpful if you are on the highway and can’t flag down another driver. Plus, it’s safer to stay in your vehicle while a trained professional addresses the situation.

Owning a vehicle can at times be very stressful. We understand that here at Destination Kia but we try to make everything as easy as possible. From purchasing to servicing, we’re all about making owning a vehicle the easiest thing you’ve ever done and that’s why we like to provide you with information to make things go from difficult to easy. And one thing that makes most drivers lose their minds is when your check engine light lits up on your dash. We know, it’s scary because you’re not sure exactly what’s happening underneath the hood but we are here to give you a few explanations on what might be happening. So, check it out below and it’s your light is currently on, stop in today or schedule your service appointment online today! We look forward to seeing you & your Kia soon! 

Look for serious issues that require immediate attention

  • Pay attention to your dashboard gauges and lights for further indication of what might be happening to your vehicle such as low oil pressure or overheating. If you notice these, it’s important that you pull over, shut your vehicle off as soon as there is a safe place to do so. On some vehicles, a yellow check engine light indicates you want to investigate. Red lights mean stop right now and seek help. 

Reduce speed and load 

  • In some instances, the load you are towing could be causing serious performance issues. If your check engine light is blinking or you notice a decline in power, such as loss of power, reduce your speed and try to reduce the demands you are putting on your engine. If you are towing, stop immediately and have your vehicle looked at to prevent any extensive and expensive damage. 

Tighten your gas cap 

  • This is by far the easiest to take care of and can oftentimes solve why your check engine light has lit up on your dash. Keep in mind that your light may not shut off right away and may take several trips before the light resets itself. If your vehicle has a separate indicator that warns of loose gas caps, you won’t have to worry about this one. 

Built-in diagnostic services to the rescue

  • It’s 2023, which means your vehicle might be more on the modern side that is equipped with integrated remote diagnostic capabilities. These have the ability to report on trouble codes and even schedule service appointments with ease.
