Our Washington summers aren't as hot as many other states, but there are days when you need your Air conditioning. If your AC isn't regularly serviced, problems can develop, ranging from unwanted guests in the air ducts to leaking refrigerant. As your Honda dealer, we want to tell you a few signs you'll need to visit us for AC maintenance. Signs You Need Air Conditioning Maintenance Refrigerant Leak This is one of the most common AC problems. Refrigerant is essential for your AC as it removes water from the air and cools it before it's blown into your cabin. This gas is highly pressurized, and a small leak anywhere in the AC system can cause a rapid loss of refrigerant. If this happens, your AC will steadily become warmer, regardless of its setting. You can't find a leak just by looking for it, as the gas vaporizes almost instantly in contact with the outside air. We add a UV dye to your AC and then monitor the dye's progress through the system using a UV light. This allows our technicians to easily find the leak and repair it. Then, we'll refill your refrigerant, and your AC will become cold again. more Blocked Vents Your air conditioning has an external vent that draws air into the system for cooling and cabin vents that bring the cold air to you. The external vent is positioned below your windshield and can easily become blocked by leaves and other debris, limiting air available for cooling. We can quickly fix this problem by clearing the vents, and airflow will increase. Dirt, dust, leaves, and other debris drawn in with the air can block the internal vents. This detritus accumulates, restricting airflow into the cabin and producing strange rusting or rattling noises as it moves around. This issue is also quick to fix, as we'll clear any duct blockages. Musty Air Conditioning Smell If you get a musty, earthy smell from the air conditioning, the system is infected with bacteria or mold. These organisms travel with the air and settle in the ducts. When your AC is off for several months over fall and winter, the dark ducts, lack of air movement, and traces of water provide the perfect breeding ground for these organisms. We fix this problem by adding a powerful cleaning solution to your AC, then switching it on and letting the solution blow through the system and remove these organisms. We'll also replace the cabin air filter, which removes any remaining dirt and pollen from the air before it enters your cabin. Our experts can rapidly fix any AC issue, and you'll have cold air again in no time. Contact us today at Honda Auto Center of Bellevue in Bellevue, WA.

With this powertrain, flawless urban performance is a given. Drivers can further enhance the eco-friendly performance of this model by turning on the Eco Assist System, which augments the way the engine uses fuel to maximize your fuel economy.

When you think about safety in a vehicle, you most likely think about the brakes and maybe Honda's Sensing suite of safety features. And while those are important, your tires are just as important. Regular tire service from your Honda dealership will go a long way towards protecting you and your family. Honda Tire Service: Ensuring Your Safety What You Can Do There are two things you should be doing regularly to ensure your own tire safety. The first is checking your tire pressure. When a tire is underinflated, not only does the quality of the handling suffer, but you also have a greater threat of blowouts. Overinflated tires can get damaged more quickly and also compromise your safety. Check the pressure once a month to make sure it's within the ideal range. The other thing to do is to keep an eye on your tires themselves. Modern tires have tread wear bars that will start to show as the tires get old. You should also come talk to us if you see any bulges in your tire. What Your Honda Dealership Will Do Rotate Twice a Year Because we tend to drive over the same roads in the same ways throughout the month, our tires tend to wear out unevenly. The tire on one side, for example, is constantly hitting that same pothole or taking that same curve. Meanwhile, the tires in the front are usually experiencing more wear because they're holding up the engine, which makes the front of the vehicle heavier than the back. We rotate your tires twice a year so that they wear out evenly and there's less risk that one of them will suddenly blow out. Realign Yearly Every time you go over a pothole or take a speed bump only on one side of the vehicle, it starts to misalign your tires. This can also happen because of uneven weight distribution within the vehicle; and it just happens naturally over the course of driving. About once a year, you should bring your vehicle in so we can make sure the alignment is true, and this means you'll always enjoy the secure handling you expect. Trip Inspection Even if you have just recently had the tires replaced, it's always a good idea to get an inspection before you take the vehicle on a big road trip. If you are planning a trip, come and talk to us, and we'll do a tire inspection. We'll make sure there are no weak points, bulges, or holes that you might've missed so that you can be confident of your safety. ​For tire safety you can count on, come to Honda Auto Center of Bellevue, WA.

Your safety is very important to Honda, which is why you have an Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS) installed in your vehicle. Your Honda ADAS, known as Honda Sensing, uses radar, cameras, and sensors to act as additional eyes and ears to protect you from danger. We're going to give you a closer glimpse into some of these features. Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) Radar and a forward-looking camera scan the road ahead for any objects. If something is detected, CMBS will calculate the distance between your vehicle and the object and decide if a collision is likely. If a collision risk exists, the system provides audio and visual warnings to advise you so you can take corrective action. more This system will also apply automatic braking if necessary to prevent or reduce damage from an accident. Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM) This system also uses a camera, but it scans for lane lines and road edge lines. If your vehicle crosses a road edge line and your turning indicator isn't active, RDM provides visual and audio warnings. It increases steering wheel torque to assist you in moving back into your original lane. It can also provide braking support, enabling your brakes to engage faster and prevent you from leaving the road. Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) LKAS scans for lane lines like RDM above, but its purpose is to keep your Honda centered in its lane. If your wheels enter another lane without you actively steering in that direction, the system will alert you. It then supplies mild torque to the steering wheel to direct you to move into the center of your original lane. Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) It's easy to miss a traffic sign, but that won't happen again when TSR is active. This system uses a small camera to identify traffic signs, like speed limitations and other warnings. It displays an icon on your screen so you can decide if you need to make any adjustments to your driving. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) This feature can be programmed to maintain a set speed and also keep a specific following distance from any vehicle ahead of you. If ACC determines the distance between you and another vehicle is closing, it applies limited braking to keep the following distance. Additional Systems There are many other safety systems, including Cross Traffic Monitor, Blind Spot Information System, and Auto High Beam Headlights. Some of these may already be installed on your Honda or are available to add even more peace of mind. If you'd like to know more about your Safety systems, contact us today at Honda Auto Center of Bellevue in Bellevue, WA.
