What happens if I "ride" my Hyundai's brakes?

Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.

How much can my Hyundai tow?

Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Accent’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.

How often does my Accent transmission fluid need to be checked?

Caring for your Hyundai Accent’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Hyundai's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.

Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Hyundai Accent?
