How to Jump Start a Vehicle

Although vehicle battery durability, and reliability has gotten much better, you may still find yourself in the position of needing a jump start at some point in your life. If you've ever been stranded with a dead car battery and without a way to jump it or without knowing how, you know how frustrating it can be. So regardless of battery improvements, you should learn the proper way to jump start a vehicle either for yourself or another driver you may be helping. Follow these simple instructions to learn the proper way to jump start a vehicle. Turn both vehicles off first and pop the hoods of both vehicles. Find the batteries in both vehicles and identify the positive and negative terminals on each. Connect one of the red positive jumper cable clamps to the dead battery's red positive post. Connect the other red positive jumper cable clamp to the live battery's red positive post. Connect the black negative jumper cable clamp from the same end as the already connected red clamp to the black negative post of the live battery. Connect the other black negative cable clamp to a clean, unpainted metal surface under the hood of the vehicle with the dead battery. It's very important that you do not connect the negative clamp to the negative post of the dead battery because a spark could ignite resulting in a battery explosion. Start the vehicle with the live battery and allow it to run for five minutes with the jumper cables connected. This will allow some time for the dead battery to charge up. After five minutes, attempt to start the vehicle with the dead battery. If the vehicle won't start, you may have to reposition the clamp that's attached to the unpainted metal surface for better contact. You may also try racing the engine of the vehicle with the live battery to deliver more amperage. Once the engine of the dead battery vehicle has started, disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse order they were connected. Drive the vehicle with the previously dead battery round for a time before turning the vehicle off to allow the battery to charge. Although jump starting a battery is a task that some people fear, once you try it once for yourself you will see that it is very simple and intuitive. You should always carry jumper cables in your vehicle so that you can jump your own car or help someone else with jumping theirs if the need arises. When your vehicle is running smoothly again, it might be a good idea to take it to a service center to determine if there is anything wrong with your battery that caused it to lose its charge. The service experts at Peruzzi Mitsubishi can take a look at your vehicle under the hood and diagnose and fix any problems, including battery issues. Make an appointment with our Levittown and Trenton area service center today and make sure your vehicle stays running in working condition. Give us a call today at 855-210-2919 or visit our Mitsubishi service and parts facility at 49 Spencer Avenue in Fairless Hills, PA.

How to Check the Oil Level of Your Vehicle

Oil is an essential component for keeping your engine running smoothly. It reduces the friction and maintaining proper oil levels can prevent many vehicle problems. You should check the oil level of your vehicle once per month to make sure that there is enough oil present and that it is not contaminated. If the oil in vehicle is visibly dirty or smells like gasoline, it's probably time to replace it. You should also be checking the level of oil with  your car's dipstick. The process for testing your oil level and quality is very simple. Remove the dipstick and wipe it on a clean rag. Make sure your vehicle has been off for at least ten minutes before you check the oil. This will ensure that the engine is cold. The location of your oil dipstick depends on what type of engine you have. If you have a rear-wheel drive engine, it will probably be somewhere near the engine around the middle of the area under your hood. If you have a front-wheel drive engine, the dip stick will probably be located somewhere near the front of the area under the hood. If you're having trouble finding the dip stick, check your vehicle's owners manual. Insert the dipstick back into the pipe. If you are unable to insert the stick the entire way in, rotate it. The pipe is curved so the stick might not be able to fit if came out the opposite way. Take the dipstick out again and look at the oil left on the end. The level of the oil will probably fall somewhere between "Add" and "Full". If the level is full, or close to full, you don't have to worry about adding any oil. If the level is at or near the add line, you should add some oil to the tank. You don't have to add it to the same tube you used the dipstick in. There should be a screw-off cap somewhere on your engine that may even be labeled as "Oil Cap". It may even tell you what grade of oil you should be using in the engine. Unscrew this cap and add as much oil as needed. Test the quality of the oil. It can be difficult to tell if oil is dirty based purely on color. Oil turns black quickly and this may not always be a sign that it needs replacing. Try rubbing a small amount between your fingers. If the oil leaves a smudge of dirt on your fingers, it probably needs to be changed. If you've noticed your oil level is low or your oil is dirty, you can contact the professionals at Peruzzi Mitsubishi to help you replace your oil or add oil to your tank. You can also stop by our Mitsubishi service center and we can perform both of these tests for you as part of our preventative car maintenance and inspection. We can also check for other problems and take care of any problems as needed such as replacing oil filters, brake repair, engine diagnostic services, and much more. If you have any questions about our vehicle service, don't hesitate to give us a call at 855-210-2919. You can also visit our service center at 49 Spencer Ave in Fairless Hills, PA. Schedule service at your local Trenton, NJ and Levittown, PA area vehicle service center today!

Safety Features of the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander

Safety features of a vehicle should be one of the most important factors you look at when buying a car, especially if you're going to trust one with transporting your family. Mitsubishi packs the 2018 Outlander with features that will ensure you can have peace of mind when you take it out on the road. Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Mitigation Mitsubishi's Adaptive Cruise Control system uses radar technology to judge distances between you and the vehicle ahead, helping you maintain a safe driving distance. If the car in front of you moves out of your lane or goes beyond your set speed, the intuitive system will adapt and readjust to whatever speed you have set. It's a great feature that means less breaking and less wear and tear on your vehicle. Using similar technology, the Forward Collision Mitigation system uses laser radar and cameras to determine if a frontal collision is imminent. If so, it warns you with audio and visual signals and automatically provides braking to try to reduce the severity of the collision or avoid it altogether if possible. Rear Cross Traffic Alert When you're backing up, sometimes it can be difficult to see an approaching vehicle coming from the side behind you. The Rear Cross Traffic Alert system will show warning lights on both side mirrors, play a buzzer sound to alert you and send a warning message to the information screen of the color multi-information display. Blind Spot Warning and Lane Change Assist These two features work together to alert you when a vehicle is in or approaching your blind spot. When a vehicle is in the lane next to you and traveling at the same speed or faster, a warning light will illuminate on the corresponding side mirror. If your turn signal is on, the system will also beep three times to alert you that it's unsafe to change lanes.

Check Engine Light Coming On

Why Is My Check Engine Light On?

One of the biggest hassles of owning a car can be the check engine light. It seems to come on at the worst times and you can never be sure exactly what it means for your vehicle. If you've ever had it come on in your car, you know it can sometimes be a stressful experience. Rest assured, the service experts at Peruzzi Mitsubishi can fix any issue with your vehicle, no matter the severity. Here are the most common issues for which the check engine light might come on. Gas Cap Problems A gas cap that is loose, missing, or broken might cause your check engine light to come on. This could cause fuel vapors to leak and an incorrect balance of pressure within the engine. This problem is relatively easy to diagnose and we can fix it for you and get you on your way quickly. Malfunctioning Oxygen Sensor The oxygen sensor measures how much unburned oxygen flows through the engine. If this sensor is not functioning properly, it can cause you to burn 40% more gas than your vehicle really needs. Your spark plugs could also suffer damage. Your Catalytic Converter Needs Replacing The catalytic converter takes your vehicle's harmful carbon monoxide emissions and changes them into carbon dioxide. If there's a malfunction in your cat converter, you will probably notice a decrease in your vehicle's performance and an increase in its running temperature. This will also cause you to fail an emissions test and your state inspection. The Mass Airflow Sensor is Not Working The mass airflow sensor measures the air going into your engine and adjusts your fuel consumption accordingly. It's a necessary part to ensure that your vehicle runs at peak performance. When it malfunctions, your car will use more gas and it can have a negative effect on everything from your spark plugs to your catalytic converter. There are many different reasons why your check engine light may have come on. None of these issues are minor enough to be ignored and the check engine light will prevent you from passing your inspection. Stop in to Peruzzi Mitsubishi's service center in Fairless Hills, PA and we can diagnose your check engine light issue and have you on your way as quickly as possible. While you're here, check out our full lineup of over 180 new vehicles including the Mitsubishi Outlander, Mitsubishi Mirage, and Mitsubishi Lancer. Also take a look at the over 500 pre-owned vehicles we have in stock. You'll be glad you did!

Mitsubishi CARFAX Vehicle History Reports

The Advantages of Asking for a CARFAX Report

Buying pre-owned might be the best way to get yourself into a great car for less money, but you should always consider the risks involved before making this decision. Some pre-owned cars have suffered significant damage that can cost you more money in the long run, while others might actually have more mileage than you’d expect. To most effectively navigate these risks and get the most for your money, you should always get a Carfax report of the vehicle you’re interested in buying. There are many advantages to receiving a Carfax report. On the most basic level, a Carfax report can confirm the vehicle’s VIN, year, make, and model, to assure that you’re actually being sold the right car. The report can also inform you of the vehicle’s true mileage and any damage in the vehicle’s past, including flood damage, fire damage, and accidents. The more wear and tear you find in the report, the less you should be paying, so Carfax can help you determine the honest value of the vehicle. A Carfax report can also inform you of any repairs that have been made on a vehicle. While occasional repairs aren’t necessarily a bad thing, frequent repairs for the same problem can be a red flag. It’s also beneficial to know how many previous owners the car has had – just one is obviously the most preferable, but a high number of previous owners over a relatively short period of time could be an indication that this car is more of a problem than it’s worth. At Peruzzi Mitsubishi, you never need to worry about purchasing a pre-owned vehicle with a troubled past. In fact, most of our pre-owned inventory consists of Carfax 1 Owners, which means that they’ve had just one previous owner and are in top condition. It’s as close to new as you can get while still buying used! Stop by Peruzzi Mitsubishi today and check out our pre-owned inventory for yourself.
