Chevy Buick GMC Safety Features

From the very structure of the vehicle to available advanced active crash prevention features, the safety advantages on Chevy, Buick and GMC vehicles offer a high degree of protection. Many vehicles offer as many as ten airbags for surround protection in the case of a crash. Most GM vehicles also come with several months complementary OnStar support, which includes the ability to notify emergency services in the case of a crash. Here are a few more safety features available on GM vehicles.

Rearview Camera

Standard on many models, the rearview camera can help with parking and backing up by giving you an unobstructed view behind your vehicle. It can be especially useful watching for children.

Blind Spot Warnings

This feature will notify drivers if there is another vehicle in their blind spot. This can prevent someone trying to pull into a lane when they can’t see, or don’t notice, a car beside them.

Rear Cross Traffic Alerts

This feature greatly simplifies backing up. Your vehicle will warn you if a car is coming up behind you as you are pulling out of a parking space, which means fewer accidents.

Lane Keeping Assist

Many Chevy, Buick and GMC vehicles are available with lane keeping alerts and lane keeping assistance. These warn you if you are drifting out of your lane on the highway, and, in some cases, will help gently steer you back into the correct lane to avoid collisions.

Forward Collision Alert

With forward collision alert, and the even more advanced automatic braking, drivers can be warned of possible collisions in time to minimize or avoid impacts. With automatic braking, a vehicle will even begin to stop on its own when it senses a possible forward impact.

The exact features available on a given model vary wildly, but most of these are available on at least one trim level of all the Chevy, Buick and GMC vehicles available here at Craig Dunn Motor City. Other exciting feature options include a Safety Alert Seat and the new Back Seat Notification on the 2017 GMC Acadia.

Contact a Craig Dunn Motor City team member today to learn more about what safety features are available on GM vehicles.

What is a Head-Up Display?

GM Head-Up Display

Each year, the automotive industry comes up with new technologies that help drivers. Technology can help with fuel efficiency, safety, entertainment or simply keep the driver informed. There are a variety of new and exciting technologies to explore and they differ from brand to brand. One of these developments is the head-up display (HUD). This feature is available on many GM vehicles and it helps drivers to keep their eyes on the road while still staying informed. Let’s take a look at the history of the GM head-up display.

General Motors first began developing the head-up display back in 1965. Each decade since, it has gotten more and more developed. These systems play an important role in maximizing driver’s attention. The system projects important information onto the windshield and in the driver’s line of sight. Instead of looking at gauge clusters and infotainment screens, drivers can just glance at the head-up display directly in front of them. Recently there have been many improvements in the system to help drivers even more.

For starters, the screen has been simplified. Drivers can now select from screens that focus on navigation, audio information, a tachometer or a speedometer. The HUD screens are now tailored for each individual driver. GM has also improved the overall look of the HUD. It now has easy-to-read graphics with fine lines and distinct fonts. Icons have been simplified and lines must be at least four pixels wide. The HUD also features easy-to-use controls that are located on the steering wheel. You can interact with both the HUD and information centre with the same set of controls.

If you are interested in learning more about the GM head-up display, schedule a test drive at Craig Dunn Motor City in Winnipeg MB. We have a variety of vehicles already equipped with the HUD system so you can see how it works in person. Learn more about all the features and vehicles offered at Craig Dunn Motor City.

Chevrolet Power of Play Offers Kids Opportunity To Inspire!

Chevrolet Power of Play Program in Manitoba

Hockey is one of the most beloved sports in Canada, and it has the power to teach kids the values of practice and dedication, as well as teamwork. Here at Craig Dunn Motor City, we are excited to announce that Chevrolet is launching a new program called the Power of Play to give Peewee hockey teams that are a part of Hockey Canada the resources they need to play the best hockey, and be the best athletes and people that they can be.

Each participating team will receive a coach’s kit containing a variety of materials to help our kids be better players, but also to develop values. Not every child who plays the game will grow up to play professionally, but everyone who plays the game learns the value of working together and how much hard work and a good attitude can pay off.

What is in the Power of Play Coach’s Kit

Everything in the coach’s kit is meant to encourage players as well as provide couches with the supplies they need to help their students. These kits are completely free, all teams have to do is sign up! They include:

  • Pucks, laces and stick tape – Each item will proudly bear both the Chevrolet logo and encouraging words from Canadian Gold Medal Winners
  • Most Inspirational Player Awards – These game-ready pucks comes with a case surrounded with positive qualities like “determination” and “unity”. Players should receive these award for those qualities, rather than specific skills.
  • Tape ball – Made from used tape from the National Sledge Team, National Women’s Team, and 2016 National Junior Team

Largest Tape Ball Contest

That starter tape ball is more than a cool way to have a piece of past heroes of the sport. Participating teams can add to the ball, and whichever team that creates the biggest tape ball will receive a $10,000 reward! Teams can turn in their ball between January and April 2016 at local Chevrolet dealerships like Craig Dunn Motor City. Each ball will be combined into one massive tape creation that will be displayed during next year’s World Junior Tournament in Montreal and Toronto. Just like we are all a part of the hockey community, every team will be able to participate in this contest, from the smallest tape ball to the most massive.
