Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Hyundai?

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 weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Excel is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

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

Maintaining your Hyundai Excel transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
