Keep reading below to get the tips you need to make sure that your Dodge Hornet is getting all of the help it needs to stay on the road.
Oil changes
The first service we want to provide clarification for is an oil change. Hybrid vehicles, such as the Dodge Hornet, still work with an internal combustion. That means that they utilize regular gasoline, and beyond that, they work with engine oil. While they will be running more efficiently thanks to the addition of some electric power, that doesn't mean that oil changes should be skipped. In fact, you should mostly stick to your regular maintenance schedule, even with a hybrid machine. Should you end up skipping oil changes, you could end up with old engine oil that causes very real problems with the combustion engine itself. Oil changes should never be ignored!
Brake inspection
Brakes are absolutely vital to the health of your Dodge Hornet, but we have some fun things to mention while encouraging you to still have them checked consistently. The first is that many hybrid vehicles actually boast a longer brake life than what you might get if you have a regular engine and not a hybrid variant. Why is that? Hybrid vehicles, like the Dodge Hornet, make use of something called regenerative braking. The point of this system is to convert the coasting of your vehicle, or the braking, right back into electricity so that it can charge the battery in your vehicle. The blend of regenerative braking and the mechanical aspects help to make these brakes usually wear more slowly.
Battery maintenance
Perhaps the most important aspect of any hybrid vehicle is the addition of the high-voltage battery that is here! These kinds of batteries are meant to last for a long time, and because of that, it's even more important that professionals are able to keep their eyes on these important components. First and foremost, they should always be kept charged which the system itself should do for you. However, if any issues start to arise, that's where we come in! The sooner problems are diagnosed, the better.
