Your car battery powers the engine and runs the accessories. Most batteries last around three to five years before they need replacing. Below are ways to determine when your Honda needs a new car battery from your Honda dealer to prevent any battery-related issues or unexpected breakdowns. more The Battery Is Old Car batteries have a lifespan of three to five years, which is influenced by driving conditions and regional temperatures. If you can't remember the last time you replaced your battery, check the battery's manufactured date on the case. If the battery is over three years old, have your Honda technician test it regularly. The Check Engine Light Is On The check engine light will also come on when voltage fluctuations occur due to a weak battery. Ask your Honda technician to perform a test to see if your battery is still strong. If not, replace your battery immediately. Your Car Has Electrical Problems A weak battery will significantly affect your car's electrical system. Electrical components or features that are suddenly not working as they should may be failing due to a weak battery. If you have trouble with your radio, dim headlights, or slow-moving power windows, blame it on a bad battery. You Notice Corrosion Corrosion, caused by a battery acid leak, can cause a car battery to die. When battery acid leaks at the connectors, it hardens and limits the contact between the terminals and the connecting points, reducing the battery's ability to recharge. If you notice a buildup of blue-green powder around the terminals, you can clean it using a brush, water, and baking soda. However, if you see battery connector corrosion, buy a new battery. The Battery Case Is Damaged Battery cases can swell and crack, causing battery acid leaks, which is extremely dangerous. The acid can start to corrode vital components under the hood and cause severe and irreversible damage. If the battery case is damaged, ask your Honda technician to replace it and dispose of it properly right away. It's Hard To Start Your Car If you turn the key, your car should start right away. However, if it takes longer than usual to get your car going, your battery doesn't have enough power. When the battery is so weak you need to jump-start your vehicle to get it going, it's best to replace your battery as soon as possible to avoid the inconvenience of being stranded on the side of the road. Avoid battery trouble and the inconvenience of unexpected breakdowns. If you are experiencing any of the issues mentioned above, stop at Ed Martin Honda in Indianapolis, IN, today. The team of Honda experts will help you find the correct battery for your vehicle and perform a professional installation.

When winter rolls around, getting winter tires from your Honda dealership is often necessary to keep you and your family as safe as possible. These tires are better able to handle cold weather and difficult road conditions than your regular ones. Let's take a look at exactly what they do and who'll need to outfit their wheels in cold-weather tires every winter. more When Is It Time to Visit the Honda Dealership for New Tires in Winter? It's time for cold-weather tires when the temperatures regularly start dropping below 40°F. Anyone who'll be staying in Indianapolis, or any part of Indiana, for the majority of winter needs tires that are made specifically to deal with these low temperatures. If you forgo getting these tires, then you will be able to drive, but you won't be particularly safe when the roads are covered in slush and the temperatures are very low. We suggest visiting the dealer before the coldest months hit so you can get your cold-whether tires fitted in time for the harsher parts of winter. What Do Winter Tires Do? They Stay Supple Summer and all-season tires are made differently from winter ones. Summer and all-season tires harden up in winter, but that's not something that happens to tires specifically made to be used in cold weather. You need your tires to be supple enough to grip the road, and regular tires just won't have the level of suppleness required to tackle the winter months. They Eject Slush and Water Roads can become laden with slush in winter, and they tend to be very wet even when there's no slush present. You need tires with enough sipes to easily eject this slush and moisture. Tires made for cold weather have more sipes than all-season and summer tires. The extra sipes also help eject snow if you travel to snowier areas this winter. They Make Handling Safer and Easier Because cold-whether tires remain supple and don't lose much traction on slippery roads, they handle much better in cold weather than all-season and summer tires. You'll have a lot more control when braking and cornering, which is vital so you can stay as safe as possible and make driving as easy as it can be. What About All-Weather Tires for Winter? Most drivers tend to have summer or all-season tires on their cars for most of the year. However, if you have all-weather tires, then you may wonder if they'll suffice in winter so you won't need to get tires made specifically for the chilly months. While these all-whether tires can work in mild winter conditions, they're generally not suitable for winters in Indianapolis, where the weather is routinely below 40°F and drops below freezing regularly. Come to Ed Martin Honda so we can find the perfect cold-whether tires for your vehicle. We'll fit them and maintain them for you over the winter months.

With its responsive performance and comfortable, practical interior, Honda's CR-V has earned its place as one of America's favorite compact SUVs. It's one of the most efficient vehicles in its class, as well, especially with the option of a refined hybrid powertrain. Here's your introduction to the 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid at your local Honda dealer! more Engine and Transmission Comprising of two electric motors and a 2.0L inline-4, the CR-V's hybrid system produces a total of 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque. That performance is distributed through an electronic continuously variable transmission that can shift into B-range, increasing engine drag in order to help slow the car down. This feature comes in handy in stop-and-go traffic and can reduce the amount of time you spend applying the brakes. The Eco Assist system included with the CR-V Hybrid's powertrain lets you know how efficient your driving is through a meter on the instrument panel. There's also Econ mode, working to minimize energy consumption in a number of vehicle processes. Passenger Cabin The CR-V Hybrid's cabin sports an ultra-modern design featuring a streamlined dashboard and distinctive honeycomb venting similar to other new Honda vehicles. A bevy of standard creature comforts includes dual-zone automatic climate control, heated seats, and a 10-way power driver's seat with power lumbar support. Sport-L and Sport Touring Models add another layer of luxury with genuine leather upholstery and beautiful orange stitching. Whether seated in the front or rear, passengers will be able to enjoy 38.2 inches of headroom and at least 41 inches of legroom. Cargo space is similarly generous at up to 36.3 cubic feet behind the reclining 60/40 split-folding rear seats. Folding down these seats expands maximum cargo volume to 76.5 cubic feet. Multimedia and Connectivity While the CR-V Hybrid Sport is equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Sport-L and Sport Touring trims get a 9-inch display with additional customization settings. Every trim will come with speed-sensitive volume compensation, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration, and Bluetooth HandsFreeLink. In addition to connected navigation, the Sport Touring offers a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot and a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system. Driver Assistance Technology Providing great peace of mind while you're on the road is a long list of standard driver assists. These include forward collision warnings, road departure mitigation, lane-keep assistance, and a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alerts. Honda's Collision Mitigation Braking System is also standard, able to automatically engage the brakes and minimize damage in the event of an unavoidable collision. Few in the CR-V Hybrid's segment can truly match it when it comes to delivering capability, efficiency, and comfort in one affordable package.

One of the best ways to show your Honda some love is by keeping up with regular oil changes. But how often should you be doing this, and why is it so important to take time to visit the Honda dealership for an oil service? more The Magic Number for Oil Changes Thanks to advances in automotive technology and high-quality lubricants, most Hondas can happily zoom around for 5,000 to 7,500 miles before needing fresh oil. But here's a pro tip: always check your Honda's manual for specific recommendations for your model. Why Oil Is So Important Think of engine oil as the lifeblood of your Honda. It silently lubricates the engine's moving parts, reduces friction, and even helps disperse excess heat. Over time, though, this oil gets worn out: it breaks down as it gets contaminated with dirt and debris from the engine. When this happens, it's less effective at its job, which means your engine will work harder, get hotter, and start to wear out faster. Signs It's Time to Visit the Honda Dealership The Oil Light Comes On Modern Hondas come equipped with maintenance lights on the dashboard that tell you when it's time to change the oil. If this light flickers on, your car is politely requesting some attention. The Dipstick Test Reveals Dirty Oil Old-school but effective, checking your oil with the dipstick can give you a good idea of its condition. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it off, dip it back in, and check the level and color of your oil. If the oil is dark, sludgy, or below the minimum mark, it's a clear distress call from your engine. Rumbling and Grumbling from the Engine If your engine starts to sound like it's complaining, with knocking, rumbling, or tapping, it might be struggling due to low or old oil. The lubrication oil provides to the engine helps it to run more quietly, so a noisy engine probably doesn't have the oil it needs. Oil Smell in the Cabin If you get a whiff of oil inside your car, don't just ignore it. It could be a sign of an oil leak or that your engine is overheating. Either way, it's a call to action, and you should take your car for a check-up right away. Sticking to a regular schedule helps ensure your Honda is doing well without waiting for something to go wrong first. If you're clocking up the miles or noticing any of these signs, it might be time to book a date with the technicians at the dealership. Remember, a little bit of care goes a long way toward maintaining the joy of driving your beloved Honda. Call Ed Martin Honda to schedule your next oil service.
