3 driving tips for staying safe throughout the Canadian winter

Although we were hoping for a quick winter this year, that famous little groundhog saw his shadow earlier this month. So we are preparing ourselves for a few extra weeks of the coldest season. Our team at Craig Dunn Motor City has learned some valuable tips and tricks throughout our time in the automotive industry, so we’re passing along our best secrets for staying safe on the road throughout the tough Canadian winters.

Canadian winter driving tips

Invest in snow tires

It’s no secret that Canada gets piles and piles of snow during the winter, so it’s important to make sure your vehicle is properly equipped to handle the slippery elements. Snow tires are designed to have a better grip on slippery surfaces, which could make the difference between sliding into a ditch and staying safely on the road.

Keep a roadside emergency kit in your trunk

It’s important to have a roadside emergency kit in your vehicle at all times, but its importance is increased tenfold in the winter. Items that should be kept in your kit include jumper cables, flares or triangle reflectors, a phone charger, a first aid kit, a flashlight and batteries, blankets, and a tool kit with common tools.

Drive cautiously

This tip may seem obvious, but it’s often not taken seriously. When conditions are less than ideal, you’ll want to drive slower and more carefully than normal. Slowing down will help drivers avoid sliding off the road or hitting black ice. And when possible, stay home. Better safe than sorry!

Want to see a few of Chevy’s best tips for safe driving during the harsh winter months? Check out the video below!

Does Chevy Start/Stop Technology help fuel efficiency?

Benefits of Chevy Start/Stop Technology

Each year new technologies are created to make vehicles more fuel efficient.Most drivers can all agree that better fuel economy is a good thing, both for your wallet and your vehicle. One feature that is helping with this mission is Start/Stop technology. This feature is extremely helpful, but many drivers aren’t quite sure what it is and how it works. Today we’re going to take a closer look by examining the benefits of Chevy start/stop technology.

What is Start/Stop Technology?

The first thing you might be wondering is, what is it? Start/Stop technology is becoming a more common feature and is available with many vehicles, including the 2015 Chevy Malibu. This feature is designed to minimize fuel consumption by automatically shutting off the engine when the car comes to a stop at a red light or in traffic. When the driver takes their foot off the brake, the engine automatically restarts and is ready to continue forward.

How effective is Start/Stop Technology?

Now you might be wondering, but does this thing really work? Chevy has discovered that the Chevrolet Malibu with 2.5L engine has more than 10 percent improvement in city fuel efficiency with this start-stop technology. Each year it is being added to more and more of the Chevy lineup and is now available on the 2016 Chevy Cruze. Other features Chevy has been developing to help improve fuel efficiency include:

  • Rack Electric Power Steering
  • Deceleration Fuel Cut-Off
  • Idle Speed Reduction
  • Optimized Tire Rolling Resistance
  • Aerodynamic Drag Reduction
  • Electronic Returnless Fuel System
  • Regulated Voltage Control

Chevrolet is constantly working hard to develop new and exciting features that drivers will love. Check back here at Craig Dunn Motor City often to learn more about new vehicles and features that are coming soon and will improve your driving experience.

Chevy Builds Partnership to Optimize Trailering Technology

Chevy Partners with RVIA and NATM

There are plenty of reasons that families and individuals want premium towing power. Whether they need to haul a horse trailer to a fair around Manitoba, or enjoy moving a boat or serious cargo with ease, it is important for truck owners to have competent and easy-to-use trailering options. To make current advanced Chevy towing technology even better, Chevrolet has partnered with two other groups. With the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) and the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM), Chevrolet plans to make even better options for customer’s trailering needs.

We don’t have news about what advanced Chevy towing technology may come out of these partnerships. However, here at Craig Dunn Motor City we think that even more intuitive and driver-optimized towing technology will be on the way. There have already been some recent advances making towing and hauling much easier.

2016 Chevy Silverado 3500HD pulling a trailerAdvanced Chevy Towing Technology

Chevy truck owners can already enjoy several advnaced features when it comes to trailering with confidence. Some of them include an elite trailering camera that can show a view from up to four locations in and around a trailer; digital steering assistance first available on the 2016 Chevy Silverado HD, and a convenient 5th wheel trailering packages that allows drivers to have their trucks optimized for heavy hauling straight from the factory floor.

“Our owners are often towing something, from an RV to construction equipment, that is more valuable than their truck,” said Tim Herrick, General Motors future truck executive chief engineer, in a recent Chevy press release. “Unequivocally, they tell us that they are looking for a better towing experience. Safer, easier, with more integration between their trailer and their truck.”

Keep watching the Craig Dunn Motor City blog, or contact a member of our sales team, to learn more about advanced Chevy towing technology available now and coming in the future.

2016 Chevy Camaro Engine Makes Ward’s 10 Best Engines List

We already knew that the 2016 Chevy Camaro was an excellent, powerful and engaging muscle car, but now there is even more proof that it’s not just a pretty face or an iconic nameplate. This year the all-new 3.6-litre engine in the 2016 Camaro was recognized by WardsAuto magazine as one of the ten best engines of the year for its outstanding power, feel, and fuel-saving technology.

Available on the 2016 Camaro LT, the winning 3.6-litre V6 is rated for a breathless 335 horsepower and 284 pound-feet of torque. That is the highest specific output of any of the segment’s naturally aspirated V6. GM leaders are proud of their powertrain and research and development teams, and the engine gained praise for it’s power, but also its pricing and feel.“The 3.6 delivers the kind of power and lusty exhaust note you associate with a V-8 for the price of a V-6. Plus, it’s loaded with advanced technology, including fuel-saving cylinder deactivation,” said Drew Winter, director, Content at WardsAuto, in a recent Chevrolet press release.

Direct injection and continuously variable valve timing also allow the Chevy Camaro with this engine and the eight-speed automatic transmission to get about 10.2 L/100km in city driving and about 8.4 L/100km in city driving.

Is your car ready for the road this winter?

Winter Maintenance Tips

READ MORE: How to make your truck’s tires last longer


Tire on a snowy road

Wipers

There is going to be a lot of ice and snow coming our way. That means you are going to need some wiper fluid and maybe some new wipers as well. Clear off all that stuff from your windows so that you can see clearly while you drive this winter.

Brakes

Braking can be difficult in the snow and especially on the ice. You are going to need to brake earlier when the roads are snowy for safer driving. It also may be a good idea to get your brakes checked. If you need some new ones, you can stop on by our Service Department today.

Tires

There’s nothing worse than getting a flat tire in the winter. Don’t put you or your vehicle at risk. Make sure that your tires have enough air, are not worn out, and are periodically rotated for optimum performance. Snow tires are also not a bad idea for the season.

Get Ready for Summer!

Is My Car Ready for Summer?

Many drivers get concerned with preparing their vehicle for winter. Going from warm weather to cold weather can be a pretty significant change. There are a number of things that will help this transition be a smooth one. Sometimes, however, people don’t realize that going from winter to summer can be just as dramatic to your vehicle. Today we’re going to help you answer the question, Is My Car Ready for Summer? Follow this quick and easy steps to make sure you and your vehicle are ready for another season change in Winnipeg MB.

Remove Snow Tires
It is important to take of your winter tires and replace them with summer tires. Winter tires don’t do much good in warmer weather and they can even get worn down faster by using them on dry pavement. It is best to switch this out as soon as the weather gets warmer.

Check Tire Pressure
It is always critical to have proper tire pressure. Proper tire pressure ensures that your tires will last longer and you will get the best fuel economy possible. Keep an eye on your tire pressure throughout the year to make sure your vehicle is operating at its best.

Fill Washer Fluid
Summer months can also mean more rain. You should make sure that your wipers are in good condition and that your washer fluid is filled. The last thing you want to do is get struck in a downpour with wipers that don’t work. It can be dangerous to you and others on the road.

Check the Battery
Your vehicle’s battery can die with little or no warning, so it is important to test it once in a while and the change in seasons is a perfect reminder. It is quick and easy to get your battery tested.

It is also a good idea to have your vehicle properly inspected at the beginning and end of summer. That way you can make sure it is ready for the road ahead, no matter what the weather is like. If you need an oil change and/or a vehicle check up, schedule an appointment at Craig Dunn Motor City near Winnipeg MB. Our service professionals will make sure you are ready for whatever mother nature throws your way.
