All cars need maintenance, and hybrid vehicles are no different — especially if you live in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, where the seasons take a toll on your vehicle. These are the most essential services to maintain for your Toyota RAV4 Hybrid by scheduling regular appointments at our Breinigsville Toyota service center.
The powerful hybrid battery that powers your RAV4 Hybrid’s electric motor is covered by warranty for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. In the real world, most batteries last 8-15 years depending on where you live and how you drive here in Pennsylvania. Specialized care is required to monitor and maintain the battery in your RAV4 Hybrid, so leave this one to the experts at Krause Toyota.
The RAV4 Hybrid uses an advanced regenerative braking system that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy to recharge the battery. This has the advantage of reducing wear-and-tear on mechanical components, such as brake pads, which means they may last much longer than in cars that don’t have this technology. Still, they will wear out eventually and it’s never a bad idea to get something as important as your Toyota SUV’s brakes checked.
Hybrid cars rely on advanced software and electronics to help all their parts “speak” with each other. The latest RAV4 Hybrid models come with over-the-air software update capability, allowing you to upgrade to the latest firmware at your own convenience. Older RAV4 Hybrid models, on the other hand, may need to be brought into the dealership to receive these updates, which can improve quality, capability, and convenience.
Just like any non-hybrid model, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid still uses an internal combustion engine that relies on oil to run smoothly and efficiently. However, thanks to the hybrid system, it may need less frequent oil changes. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations in your owner’s manual, or allow Krause Toyota to guide you with our scheduled maintenance intervals.
Unless something has gone very wrong, tires are the only part of your car that make contact with the road. That makes them utterly critical for proper performance and safety. Check tire pressures and get your tires rotated at regular intervals to maximize performance while minimizing wear.
For all your RAV4 Hybrid maintenance needs in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, we encourage you to schedule a service appointment by calling Krause Toyota at (610) 395-5190.
