For the future of the automobile industry, fuel efficiency is the name of the game. While some Clermont Toyota drivers like fuel conscious vehicles for money they save or for their lessened environmental impact, fuel efficiency remains an important engineering feature for vehicle buyers at large. One feature of fuel efficiency that many drivers may be familiar with, but not really know about, is flex fuel. This feature of fuel saving technology is equipped on several different types of Clermont Toyota vehicles to help boost fuel economy and improve engine operation efficiency. If you’re curious about this feature, then check out this guide from Toyota of Clermont! Technology just got a little more efficient As the automotive industry moves toward a future that’s more fuel efficient, various types of technology are being equipped on a variety of Clermont Toyota vehicles. However, flex fuel is a feature that’s unique in the way it processes gasoline and different fuel types. This type of fuel saving technology still relies on a traditional internal combustion engine rather than using alternative engines like hybrid and electric. Instead, flex fuel uses a different type of fuel tank technology that allows vehicles to process blended gasoline and fuel types. The most common blend types consist of ethanol or methanol and the engine processes these fuel types differently using a fuel composition sensor. Some fuel efficiency equipped Clermont Toyota vehicles using flex fuel can run on other fuels like compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, or hydrogen. Flex fuel is a common and easily accessed fuel efficiency technology, but other forms of fuel saving technology can be used on several Clermont Toyota vehicles that reduce emissions and get you more for your dollar at the pump. Here are a few fuel efficiency technology features you’ll find on several Clermont Toyota vehicles: ECO driving modes for fuel conscious acceleration and shifting throughout your drive to save on fuel. Hybrid engines on Clermont Toyota models like the Toyota RAV4, Highlander, Camry, and Avalon. This fuel efficiency engine type uses partial electric engineering to use gasoline when operating at slower speeds. Hydrogen fuel cell is a new type of fuel efficiency technology that’s currently only available in the Clermont Toyota Mirai. This type of engineering uses hydrogen as its only fuel source and only produces water as a byproduct. Hydrogen fuel cell engines can run just as efficiently, if not better than internal combustion engines. Unfortunately, hydrogen fill stations are limited to the California area and it’s uncertain when this technology will be available in the Clermont area. All new body designs for vehicles like the Toyota Corolla Hatchback, Avalon, Yaris, and Prius models for upgraded fuel efficiency in addition to their mechanical engineering.

Caring for your tires diligently is something every driver should do to prevent getting a flat when you’re out and about. Regularly checking the current PSI with an accurate tire pressure gauge, inspecting the car tire tread monthly, and having them rotated each time your vehicle gets serviced will keep your car tires in good shape longer. But, one tire that most drivers forget about is the spare tire. While it may be a car tire only used when your Clermont Toyota vehicle gets a flat, you need to make sure it’s ready to take on the road when you need it to. Luckily, Toyota of Clermont is here with an easy guide on how to get your spare tire ready and maintain it so it’s ready when you need it. Check for wear and tear. While you may not have need of your spare tire often, they have less material and they’re much smaller than your typical Clermont Toyota car tire. Dry rot and deterioration over time is always possible due to lack of use. Because your spare car tire needs to be inflated to a much higher PSI than your regular tires, be sure to look out for bubbling and sidewall separation. Check your exterior mounted car tire more closely. Typically, spare car tires are stored in the trunk of your Clermont Toyota vehicle. However, some vehicles have their spare tires stored on the backside of the trunk or near the rear bumper in the undercarriage. This exposes them to higher amounts of heat and harsher conditions than an interior stored tire. Our auto service techs at Toyota of Clermont recommend dismounting your spare tire one to two times a month to check for damage. Take stock of your spare car tire’s equipment. Having your spare tire when you need it is all well and good, but if you don’t have the equipment to install it then changing your flat is going to be a little difficult. You need the included jack to get your car off the ground and there should be a provided lug wrench to remove the lug nuts from your current tire. Having these tools is absolutely essential to changing your car tire. If you’re missing any of these tools, visit Toyota of Clermont and our auto parts specialists can take care of you. Maintain your spare car tire with Toyota of Clermont Making sure your spare tire is ready when you need it can save you a lot of stress if one of your tires ever goes flat. If you’re missing equipment, need a new spare, or just need to make sure yours is in good shape, come visit Toyota of Clermont!

If you're thinking about making some extra cash by becoming a driver for Uber or Lyft, props to you! It's a great way to make money, explore your city, and meet new people while you're working. However, you can't just jump in feet-first without prepping your car for the job. Toyota of Clermont is here to help you get your ride ready to take on your new adventure with three helpful tips. Tip #1: Check out the company/state guidelines for equipment. Most Uber drivers are required to have a mount for their phone installed in their car (you can get one that hangs off the windshield or attaches to the dash). That way your phone isn't in your hands and you're not engaging in distracted driving. You'll also probably be required to have a charger on hand at all times so your phone doesn't go dead. Finally, consider stocking your car with things that make the customer's ride time a little more efficient! Bottled water doesn't hurt, and tissues, wipes, and mints are always crowd-pleasers. Tip #2: Have your car inspected and serviced. If you're going to be an Uber of Lyft driver, you're going to be putting a lot more mileage on your car than it's used to. Your first step should be to have a multi-point inspection conducted (Toyota of Clermont can help you out there). Our auto service techs can check your car from bumper to bumper to ensure everything is in good shape and pinpoint any problems or issues that might need to be remedied. You'll also want to consider the following car maintenance: Oil change: You're going to be upping your mileage, which means your engine is about to be put to work. Make sure it stays cool and lubricated by keeping the right amount of clean oil in it and getting routine oil changes as needed. Tire rotation, inflation, and balance: You need your tires to be properly balanced, rotated, and inflated to ensure the best possible performance AND fuel efficiency. Have our Clermont Toyota service techs check them for you! Battery check: You don't want to end up with a dead battery when you're on your way to pick up a fare - have our techs check your car battery's voltage levels and overall condition. Brake service: A brake system that's in good shape is essential to the safety of you, your passengers, and other drivers. Have your entire brake system inspected before you hit the road. Tip #3: Detail your car. Whether you schedule car detailing at Toyota of Clermont or do it yourself, a clean car is necessary if you want happy passengers. Wipe down and vacuum the interior, and shampoo any stains. Wash and wax the exterior and shine your tires—first impressions are everything!

Don’t leave car on when it’s unattended: Leaving your car on while unattended is not a good idea. Nobody in Clermont would want to experience Grand Theft Auto video games by having their car stolen in real life.

To the DIY pros and homebodies everywhere, this guide is for you. Doing chores and home projects and doing them well always gives us a feeling of fulfillment. If mowing the lawn, cleaning the pool, and painting the walls is leaving you hungry for more work to do, you might want to consider at home auto maintenance. While it may look complicated when you bring your car into Toyota of Clermont for auto service, the truth is that you can do a lot of routine auto maintenance right from your driveway! For those eager to get started, here’s a guide from us at Toyota of Clermont! No hydraulic lift, no problem Windshield wiper fluid If your warning light has been coming on or the windshield of your Clermont Toyota vehicle has seen cleaner days, then it’s probably time for you to top off the washer fluid. This auto maintenance step is very simple and only takes a few minutes from start to finish. First, make sure you have windshield wiper fluid on hand. Next, open the hood and look for the reservoir. Then, pour new fluid into the reservoir until it’s full. Yep, that easy! Tire condition and pressure level Checking the condition of your tire tread and the current pressure level is another auto maintenance procedure that’s simple and it’s one that you can even do on the go. To check the condition of your Clermont Toyota tires and their tread depth, take a quarter and put it in the deep grooves of the tread. Look to see where the tread height lines up with the president’s head on the quarter, if it’s less than the top of his head then it might be time to start thinking of getting new tires. If you’re looking for an affordable set of new tires, Toyota of Clermont has a variety of options and all affordably priced. To check the current pressure level in your Clermont Toyota tires, make sure to use an accurate pressure gauge. Simply remove the safety cap from the valve stem, put the compatible end from the pressure gauge onto the tire, and read the pressure level. On average, a Clermont Toyota tire should have about six to eight less psi than their maximum fill limit. Oil changes While this at home auto maintenance job is a little more involved than the previous two, doing this at home can save you money! Before you get started, make sure to park your Clermont Toyota on a flat surface. This will ensure that your vehicle won’t roll during the oil change and either injure you or damage the jacks you’re using. You’re also going to need an oil pan to catch your old motor oil when you start the draining process. Next, you have to find the oil reservoir amidst your Clermont Toyota vehicle’s undercarriage, it’ll look like a large square like container with a single bolt towards the bottom of it. After you’ve found the reservoir, use a wrench to remove the drain plug and empty it into your oil pan. Once it’s been thoroughly drained, replace the drain bolt, remove the jacks, and make your way to the Clermont Toyota engine. Then, locate the oil reservoir (typically located on the top of your vehicle’s engine), and pour new oil into the engine. Before you pour new motor oil into the engine, make sure consult your owner’s manual for the proper amount to use and if your chosen oil is compatible. Auto maintenance made easy at Toyota of Clermont At home auto maintenance is a very rewarding project to undertake, but if you’re finding yourself short on time or have questions on where to get started, we’ve got you covered!

The future of the automotive industry is a testament of how far technology can go to deliver safety and convenience for drivers. Within the past few years we’ve seen the introduction of almost autonomous safety features helping drivers to stay in their lanes and avoid collisions. We’ve seen convenience features incorporate apps and dynamic navigation to make driving less distracting and markedly more helpful than previous years. And we’ve seen something truly impressive, autonomous vehicles. For years, automotive giants have explored the possibility of developing self-driving vehicles and, recently, Toyota made their stake in the race to autonomous vehicle development.

For Clermont Toyota drivers, it’s difficult to say if this technology will make its way into your next Toyota Corolla or RAV4. However, Uber does intend to outfit Clermont Toyota Siennas with autonomous vehicle technology for testing purposes with the hopes of real-time application and testing in 2021. This isn’t Toyota’s first venture into autonomous vehicles or into mobility services. Investments into projects like the Toyota Research Institute and artificial intelligence lab, e-Palette, and even other ride sharing companies like Grab show that Toyota is serious about this automotive industry path. A future of personal autonomous vehicles or ride sharing using self-driving Clermont Toyota vehicles is entirely possible and, with these recent moves by Toyota, we could see this technology at our dealership before you know it!
