Is your car road ready? Milton Ruben Superstore shows you how to put air in your tires, check tire pressure, check your engine fluids, check tire tread depth, and what to do when the engine light comes on, using short informative videos. Tire Air Pressure Next to the brakes, the tires are the most important safety features on the vehicle. Incorrect tire pressure will compromise stability, braking and cornering and can possibly lead to tire failure — and a serious accident. Incorrect tire pressure also will affect your comfort, fuel economy and tire life. Guest Relations Manager Bob Holloway talks about how to check your tire air pressure, using a 2011 Camry to demonstrate: How to Put Air in Your Tires Now that you have checked your tire pressure, you will need to know how to properly put air in your tires. Here, Bob demonstrates adding and releasing air using a tire pressure gage: Checking Your Tire Tread Depth Proper tread depth prevents hydroplaning and helps with optimal traction on the road. Bob gives an easy tip to make sure your tires are road ready: Checking the Engine Fluids A peek under the hood may seem like a complicated mess of hoses, wires, blocks and belts. While some vehicle maintenance should generally be left to the professionals, there are a few things that you can easily take care of yourself. In this video, Bob talks about checking your fluids: brake fluid, engine oil, coolant or antifreeze, and power steering fluid. The Engine Light Is On! Possibly the most misunderstood indicator on the dashboard, the "check engine" light can mean many different things, from a loose gas cap to a misfiring engine. If your light comes on, you don't need to pull over and call a tow truck, but you should get the car checked out as soon as possible. Ignore the warning, and you could end up damaging expensive components. It also can be a sign that your car is getting poor fuel economy and emitting higher levels of pollutants. Bob discusses what to do when your engine light comes on: The Milton Ruben Service Department wishes you all safe travels.
