2017 Chevy Performance Parts

With the 2016 SEMA Show, Chevrolet has released a number of performance-enhancing parts that will make the Camaro, Cruze and various Chevy trucks burn even more rubber (in a good way). We’re not sure how many of these 2017 Chevy performance parts will be available here in Manitoba, but we are sure that these or enhancements like them will be available some day. It’s fun to get a preview of them now.

Camaro Performance Enhancement

While the base 2017 Chevy Camaro can burn up the track or the road, adding new 2017 Chevy performance parts can give this great muscle car even more oomph.

Chevy Truck Performance Parts for 2017

Both appearance and practical accessories and enhancement will be available for Chevy trucks (including the Silverado and Colorado) in the new year. One of the newest options is a performance exhaust kit. Available with the 5.3-liter engine and 6.2-liter engine, this kit can deliver an extra 10 horsepower or 7 horsepower (respectively). Other available truck accessories will include custom wheels, side steps, bed liners, tonneau covers, and floor liners.

Cruze and Malibu Performance Parts

For those seeking a little more street-level zip for their Chevy sedan, there are also options, like a suspension lowering kit with stiffer springs, an enhance cornering system, and a new front stabilizer that can drop the 2017 Chevy Cruze Hatch 0.4 inches. The Cruze will also be available with a refined air intake and and exhaust system, while the Malibu will also be available with enhancements.

What is OnStar?

Many car brands now come with the option of some kind of safety/security system. They each have their own so it can be complicated to know exactly what each provides and how the system works. Here at Craig Dunn Motor City we offer the option of OnStar. This system is available on nearly every GM vehicle sold. Today we’re going to take a look at exactly “What is OnStar?.

OnStar is most simply, the in-vehicle safety and security system created to help protect you and your family on the road. This feature has an innovative three-button system. The first item offered is 24-hour access to expertly trained, caring advisors. The OnStar advisors can provide resources for emergency assistance, escape routes and other resources. They can even help in the case of severe weather, natural disasters and natural resource/man-made disasters.The second item is a connection to emergency assistance. All you have to do is push the red emergency button and an OnStar Advisor can direct emergency services to your exact location and offer assistance until help arrives.

The third feature is access to OnStar Hands-Free Calling in covered areas. This allows your vehicle to have built-in wireless service so you can stay connected even when your cell phone isn’t available. OnStar has also started a new service called OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics. This service runs diagnostic checks on vehicle’s key operating systems and sends you monthly email reports. This is an exclusive offer just for GM vehicles.

OnStar services not only provides a safety and security service, but it also gives drivers and passengers piece of mind that they are prepared for whatever might come their way. Being prepared is vital when you’re a car owner. If you are interested in a GM vehicle with OnStar, check on the many options available at Craig Dunn Motor City.

Now that summer is here there are a few more things you should be keeping an eye on. The sun causes a few extra risks, especially during this time of year. One major risk has to do with your electronic devices. Heat can be very dangerous for items that have batteries. Today we’re going to take a look at some ways to prevent your phone from overheating.

It is important to prevent your phone from overheating, because this can cause serious damage to your device. When your phone overheats, it can cause permanent damage to the lithium ion batteries that power smartphones. One common way phones tend to overheat, is when they are in hot vehicles. That’s why engineers have added a cold air vent in select 2016 Chevy models. This air vent will keep smartphones wirelessly charging the car from overheating. This feature will be available in the 2016 Chevrolet Impala, Malibu, Volt and Cruze.

This new exciting feature is called the Active Phone Cooling feature and it works when the car’s heating, ventilation and cooling system is on. Most smartphones do have built-in thermal protection features that can cause the phone charging or turn off until it has cooled down. This is extremely inconvenient if you are using your smartphone to stream music, receive phone calls or navigate while you’re on the road. With the Active Phone Cooling feature, you won’t have to worry about your phone shutting off from getting too hot.

If you are interested in learning more about the Active Phone Cooling feature or any other innovative feature that new Chevy vehicles have, call or visit Craig Dunn Motor City in Portage la Prairie MB. We will be able to answer any questions you have about our current lineup or upcoming models. We also invite you to check back here often for more Chevy news.

What Safety Features Are Available on GM Vehicles?

Does Chevy or Ford Have The Toughest Construction?

Many people who have purchased a new GM vehicle have wondered what is OnStar RemoteLink and what can it do to improve their vehicle owning experience. Available through OnStar connective services, the RemoteLink App can be downloaded to enable owners of new Chevy, GMC, and Buick vehicles to use their phones to check Wi-Fi settings, remote start, and many other features.

Read More: What is OnStar?

What can I do with OnStar RemoteLink

Some RemoteLink features are available for no cost for five years with the purchase of any new GM vehicle like a 2016 Chevy Cruze. These include activating the horn and lights, locking and unlocking the doors with your cellphone, and even remotely starting and stopping the engine from a comfortable distance (an especially useful features with winter coming right around the corner). Availability of these features may depend on the trim level of the vehicle.

For vehicles equipped with a Wi-Fi hotspot, RemoteLInk users may also activate and deactivate their hotspot using their smartphone, change the hotspot name and password, or check the data consumption for no extra cost. The Wi-Fi plan itself may require a paid plan.

Other OnStar and RemoteLink features that may be available include checking and dealing with your OnStar account, getting diagnostic updates from your vehicle, tracking driving performance, and even the AtYourService feature which offers extensive travel information.

What phones are compatible with OnStar RemoteLink

The most recent edition of OnStar RemoteLink is currently available only for iPhone and Android, but previous editions have been compatible also with Blackberry and Windows devices. To check your vehicle and phone compatibility you can check the OnStar website.

Read More: Wi-Fi on the Buick EnclaveAll in all, the OnStar RemoteLink is a really neat features that we are excited to offer in our new GM inventory!

Looking up at the night sky, you can see a billion stars. What you can’t see are the more than one billion customer requests that OnStar has fielded since their inception almost twenty years ago.

In 1996, the first OnStar system premiered on GM vehicles. Now, with over a million GMC, Buick, Cadillac and Chevy vehicles in Canada and North America outfitted with OnStar, it’s no wonder that OnStar and GM are breaking records for customer service.

The original OnStar service was a lot more basic than OnStar 4G LTE available on new models like the 2016 Chevy Equinox or 2015 GMC Sierra. The original service would allow drivers and passengers to place a call from the vehicle if the airbags deployed. OnStar used, and still uses, GPS and cellphone connective technology to allow customers to get directions on the road, reach out for help in emergencies or even digitally make a diagnostic on their vehicles.

Today the service is even better. Today you can link your mobile device to a vehicle-generated hotspot and enjoy the internet wherever you are, as well as many other great features available on many new GM vehicles. While OnStar cannot (yet!) drive your vehicle for you, it can help with pretty much anything else.

In over one billion requests, OnStar has connected people to emergency services after accidents, guided people to delicious restaurants, and remotely slowed stolen vehicles during high speed chases. OnStar personnel have even helped deliver babies!

In the years to come, OnStar is likely to continue offering great customer service, and help with a billion more little parts of daily life. And Craig Dunn Motor City is glad to continue offering the service in a multitude of new cars, trucks and SUVs for your safety and driving pleasure.

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.
