Tips for Driving in Heavy Rain: Dos and Donts

By

Tips for Driving in Heavy Rain

CMH Mazda Durban has compiled some tips to keep you safe when driving in heavy rain. In addition to increasing your safety, these tips will make other motorists and pedestrians safer as well.

Switch on your Headlights

Always have your headlights on! As a result, you will be able to see vehicles and obstacles ahead of you, as well as be visible to others.

tips-for-driving-heavy-rain-front-light

Do Not Drive Fast

In heavy rain, the road surface is wet and slippery. If you feel you are travelling fast and it starts raining heavily, take your foot off the accelerator pedal to slow down and do not press the brakes. You will gradually reduce speed this way. Avoid braking suddenly as this may cause your vehicle to skid.

Visibility

It may be difficult to see through your side windows when it rains heavily. Always be aware of other vehicles in the rear and blind spots.

Do Not Wwitch on your Wipers Immediately

Wait a short amount of time before switching on your windshield wipers. Switching them on immediately could smudge your windscreen and make it difficult to see.

tips-for-driving-heavy-rain-wiper-controller

Invest in good wiper blades

Investing in good wiper blades ensures that your windscreen is cleaned effectively thus increasing visibility.

Check your Vehicle

Check your tyres and ensure that it has sufficient tread for better traction on dry and wet surfaces.

tips-for-driving-heavy-rain-cmh-mazda-durban-tyre

Ensure that the mirrors on the vehicle are in good condition.

  • Ensure that your headlights are working.
  • Ensure that your taillights and indicators are in working condition.
  • Ensure that your mudflaps are secure (if your vehicle has mudflaps).

CMH Mazda Durban hopes that you follow these tips for driving in heavy rain and stay safe on the road.

New Luxurious Yet Affordable Mazda CX-5 2.2 DE AWD Akera

By

Mazda CX-5 Akera
2022 Mazda CX-5 2.2 DE AWD Akera

The 2022 Mazda CX-5 2.2 DE AWD Akera is Mazda Southern Africa’s top-of-the-range CX-5. This specific model is the 2.2l turbo diesel variant.

The CX-5 has been around in the SA market for five years. And the 2022 model received a few cosmetic changes on the exterior. Namely, the new L-shape LED lights in the front & rear redesigned front & rear bumpers, and the red pattern in the grille to distinguish the Akera from other models. The exhaust tips have also increased in size to give a sportier appearance.

Bose surround-sound system

The Akera flexes a 2.2l 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine which produces 140kW & 420Nm of torque. The diesel engine outputs minimal noise in the cabin, and the 6-speed automatic gearbox shifts effortlessly. The ride quality is smooth, and the new seats are super comfortable. The Mazda CX-5 Akera has a 58litre fuel tank.

Convenience controls

The cabin has not changed much, as it retains the same infotainment system as the outgoing model. The CX-5 is one of the most popular SUVs on the market, and it’s not hard to see why. It boasts a 10-speaker Bose surround-sound system, 19-inch alloy wheels, Nappa leather upholstery with red stitching, and a heads-up display and navigation.

It is available in 10 colour options: soul-red crystal, arctic white, titanium flash, sonic silver, snowflake white pearl, polymetallic grey, machine grey, jet black, eternal blue, and deep blue crystal. The CX-5 Akera offers practicality, comfort, and safety as standard. This family SUV is one of the best in the segment.

The affordability of the Mazda CX-5 is undoubtedly the best feature of all.

At CMH Mazda Hatfield, we have a wide range of trims, add-ons, and packages that allow you to customize your ride to meet your needs and budget.

How to Get Your Car Ready For Your Next Road Trip

Get Your Car Ready for a Road Trip: A Comprehensive Guide

The Easter vacations in April have arrived, and it’s time for a road trip. Are you heading to the beach? Are you heading to the bush? Don’t get left behind. Whatever your location, be sure your car is road-trip ready to avoid having your vacation spoiled by a vehicle breakdown or other mechanical issues.

get-your-car-ready-for-open-road
Open road

Get Your Car Ready

Make sure your car is in proper working order before you set off. It’ll feel like a second home to you. Prepare for any unexpected repairs at least a month in advance. Check and make any necessary adjustments:

  • Coolant
  • Oil
  • Tire Pressure
  • Spare Tire
  • Brakes
  • Belts, caps, hoses, and filters
  • Lights, signals, all wiper blades, and windshield wiper fluid
family-enjoying-a-road-trip
Family enjoying a road trip

Road Trip Checklist

Remember that you must be as prepared for the road as your car. Before your vacation, let your family know where you’re heading and get a good night’s sleep. It’s also a smart idea to double-check your cell phone range and make sure you can reach emergency services no matter where you are. Prepare for your journey by familiarizing yourself with the routes you’ll be taking and the weather prediction. You should also develop a list of items to include in an automobile survival kit. These can include the following:

  • A chain or thick towing rope
  • Electric charger wire
  • Flashlight
  • Screwdrivers and wrenches of different sizes
  • Bungee cords
  • Pliers
  • Hammer

Mazda SUV on the road

Once your vehicle has passed inspection, there are a few pointers for safe driving. After all, you may not be a part of your vehicle, but if you’re not in proper working order, the state of your vehicle is irrelevant. Remember to interact with the driver. As the hours pass, talking can help keep the driver interested, motivated, and alert.

Recognise your limitations and design your journey around them. If your longest drive has been 300 Kilometres in a day, don’t plan a trip that includes a series of 500 Kilometres days. Whether you can ride 500 km per day or 1,000, your capacity to cover these kilometres decreases as the distance travelled increases.

High speeds are a thing of the past. A steady driver can log more kilometres, see more mountain panoramas, and drive more twisting km than someone who is racing through a mountain pass for the fastest time. You’ll also save money on petrol over time.

adventurer-taking-a-break
Adventurer taking a break

Leave the coffee and energy drinks at home. Pullover and rest if you become fatigued. If it’s in the middle of the day, take a 30-minute break. If it starts to become dark, seek refuge at a motel. If your body is telling you that it needs to relax, it’s not worth jeopardising your life.

Avoid boredom at all costs. Long trips frequently entail passing through locations that aren’t quite ideal, with nothing in the way of sights or excitement. Having your favourite podcast, standup comedy, audiobook, or upbeat music on hand may really help make those long miles go by a bit faster at moments like these.

Finally, on the open road, keep away from trucks. Truck drivers dislike being followed by others. When you’re at the wheel of a truck, you’re a liability to the company. Never, ever, ever tailgate. A trucker will start thinking about the person on their tailgate instead of paying attention to the road. It doesn’t take much after that for calamity to strike.

SERVICE PLAN, MAINTENANCE PLAN AND A WARRANTY

By

Difference between a service plan, maintenance plan and a warranty

So, you’ve bought your Mazda CX-5 Carbon Edition at CMH Mazda Menlyn, and you know all of its specifications and features like the back of your hand. You’re satisfied with your monthly payments, and your insurance is taken care of.

But do you know about the manufacturer’s warranty or if the car comes with a service or maintenance plan?

Most cars come with a maintenance or service plan as a basic feature or as an add-on. However, don’t be tricked into believing that a basic service or maintenance package is free. These policies are typically included in the purchase price of your new vehicle. You will, however, benefit from no additional charges while having your vehicle properly serviced and maintained, allowing you to budget accurately for the monthly cost of your new car.

When you get to CMH Mazda Menlyn, 533 Celeste St, Menlyn, Pretoria, 0010 you need to ask questions such as “What’s the difference between a maintenance plan, a service plan, and a warranty?” our kind and friendly staff is ready to run through these terms patiently with you.

service-plan-and-warranty-difference

Maintenance Plan

A maintenance plan is just a service plan that has been amplified. It includes wear-and-tear components on your car such as the gearbox, clutch, suspension, brake pads and discs, wiper blades, shock absorbers, globes and fuses, wheel bearings, and new gas for the air-conditioning system, among other things. The maintenance contract covers any part on your automobile that has a wear cycle and will need to be replaced at some point throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle — items that are not covered by a service plan.

Service Plan

It’s all in the name! The plan covers all costs associated with getting your automobile maintained according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Air, pollen, gasoline, and oil filters, cam belts, brake fluid, oil and gearbox oil, spark plugs, and coolant are often included at this expense. To ensure that the provisions of the service plan contract are followed, these services must be performed by an authorised service centre or dealer network.

service-plan-and-warranty-difference

Warranty

New cars come with a guarantee, but the length of time it lasts varies depending on the brand. All guarantees, however, are limited in terms of time and mileage. The warranty on your automobile is essentially a commitment from the manufacturer that any manufacturing flaws or factory defects will be fixed or replaced within a certain time frame. Engine, gearbox, electric components, fuel systems, audio systems, and sensors are all covered by the guarantee. It’s crucial to keep in mind that a guarantee doesn’t cover everything. Tyres and brake pads are among the things that are not covered, as is any damage caused by user misuse.

Damages caused by a driver’s abuse or inappropriate usage, as well as aftermarket modifications to the vehicle, may void the warranty. Make sure you understand exactly what is covered by the warranty and how long it lasts.

service-plan-and-warranty-the-difference

Because not all service and maintenance plans are made equal, it’s critical that you read and comprehend the plan you’re signing up for. Make sure you know what’s covered and what isn’t. Remember, if you’re unsure, ask; it might save you a lot of time and money in the long run.

Come into CMH Mazda Menlyn and let us help you find the best plan for your vehicle.

CMH MAZDA DURBAN – Tips and tricks on how to save fuel

By

Tips and tricks on how to save fuel

To help you save money on fuel, CMH Mazda Durban has compiled a list of fuel-efficient tips and tricks.

By learning how to drive fuel efficiently, you can save money on fuel, improve your safety on the road, and prevent extra wear on your vehicle. Acceleration

Fuel consumption increases when you accelerate hard. To lower your fuel consumption, take at least 5 seconds to accelerate to 20 kilometres an hour from a stop.

Maintain a steady speed

Increasing and decreasing your speed rapidly consumes more fuel. It has been shown that if you fluctuate your speed every 18 seconds between 75 and 85 kilometres per hour, you can increase your fuel consumption by up to 20%.

Keep a steady speed and when you can, use cruise control.

Anticipate traffic

Be aware of your surroundings. By being aware and anticipating traffic you can maintain a steady speed thus using less fuel.

Avoid high speeds

Keep to the speed limit and use less fuel. Vehicles are the most fuel-efficient when travelling between 50 and 80 kilometres per hour. Above this zone, vehicles use increasingly more fuel the faster they go.

Coast to decelerate

When you use your brakes, you lose forward momentum. As a result of being aware of the flow of traffic, you can coast to slow with little to no use of the brake pedal, thus saving on fuel.

Measure your tyre pressure regularly

When your tyre pressure is lower than the recommended level, your fuel consumption will be higher, and your tire life will decrease faster.

Tips when using a manual transmission

When driving a manual car, keep an eye on your tachometer (rev count). Different vehicles have different optimal gear shift points, so make sure you know yours. Generally, the higher the revs, the more fuel you use.

CMH Mazda Durban hopes that you implement these little changes in your driving technique to decrease your fuel consumption.

CELEBRATING WOMEN IN THE MOTOR VEHICLE INDUSTRY

By

In the motor industry, men are predominately responsible for driving the industry. We at CMH Mazda Randburg continue to reflect on how flawed this perception is. At CMH Mazda Randburg, women are always celebrated. Diversity is encouraged in all departments, and we strive to be as inclusive as possible.

A variety of careers and skill-based careers are available in the motor industry that does not have gender-based limitations. The CMH Mazda Randburg branch is the perfect example of this.

Although you wouldn’t expect to see a woman working in the workshop, we have female technicians who thrive in what is traditionally considered a man’s domain. No matter what kind of shoes you give a woman, she will wear them with honour.

At CMH Mazda Randburg not only are we led by a female dealer principal, But she is also the youngest female in this role.

Comfort

You must be comfortable when driving!

The Mazda CX-5 Dynamic Auto comes standard with a leather interior, 8-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat, tilt and telescopic adjustable steering wheel to find your ideal driving position and ensure that you are comfortable throughout your journey. The leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shift knob lets you know you are sitting in luxury.

The cruise control helps reduce the fatigue one would get from having to press the accelerator pedal on a long-distance drive.

With keyless entry and push-to-start ignition, you will look forward to jumping into your Mazda SUV to start your journey.

Mazda has not forgotten about your passengers. Dual-zone climate control ensures that you and your passengers do not fight over the temperature in the vehicle.

The rear seats recline, ensuring that your rear passengers are in the most comfortable position and there are rear air vents for those long-distance journeys.

Exterior

The Mazda CX-5 Dynamic Auto comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, a rear spoiler, and body colour outer mirrors, so you can be sure you make a statement when you drive it. The Mazda CX-5 also has smart keyless entry, so when you are carrying your luggage, you do not have to dig for keys in your pocket or bag to unlock your vehicle.

The outer mirrors fold automatically coupled with the reverse camera, making parking in tight spots a walk in the park.

Safety

The Mazda CX-5 Dynamic Auto comes standard with driver, passenger, side and curtain airbags, antilock braking system, electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), emergency brake assist (EBA), dynamic stability control (DSC), hill launch assist (HLA), burglar alarm system, engine immobiliser remote central locking and auto door lock.

The ISOFIX point in the rear makes the Mazda CX-5 Dynamic Auto a suitable family vehicle.

Maintenance

All Mazda vehicles now come standard with a 3-year unlimited kilometre warranty and service plan. This will give you the peace of mind to go on as many road trips as your heart desires. You can also upgrade your warranty and service plan at the dealership.

Space

The Mazda CX-5 has a 506-litre boot capacity so if you are a heavy packer, no worries, Mazda has got you covered.

The storage in the door cards is spacious enough for water bottles and the driver and passenger have extra storage space under the armrest.

There is ample space in the back seats to fit 3 adults and still have enough leg room.

Why Windscreen Wipers are Essential for a Vehicle

Why Windscreen Wipers are Essential for Safe Driving

Windscreen wipers are power-operated devices that keep the windshield clear of rain. A vehicle would not be fully functional without windscreen wipers, just like it would not be able to drive without wheels or tyres. Thus, making it essential to ensure that your vehicle has windscreen wipers and that they are performing at their optimal condition.

How Long Do Windshield Wiper Blades Last?

Oftentimes, people neglect to maintain the windscreen wiper blades of their vehicles. Windscreen wiper blades can last up to six months to a year on average, and the lifespan of windscreen wiper blades is determined by their usage frequency, exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors. Drivers are encouraged to do a routine check of their windscreen wipers, to regularly clean them and park in an enclosed space to avoid sunlight damage.

At CMH Mazda Randburg we offer windscreen wiper inspection and replacement services at your convenience.

Signs That Your Wipers Need to be Replaced

  • Visibility of blade fractures
  • Failure to remove liquid
  • Blade frame is bent or deformed
  • Uncontrolled smudging or smearing
  • Blades gliding during wiping

If you are experiencing any of the abovementioned with your vehicle, you should contact CMH Mazda Randburg, and we will attend to your vehicle’s needs. Especially now that we are entering into a rainy season, ensure that your vehicle is performing at its best potential.
