Auto Advice For Chilliwack Consumers

<a href="https://oconnorchrysler.com/inventory?newUsed=New#/?&orderBy=1&t=0&filter=[New%2C%2C1500%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C%2C]"><img src="https://oconnorchrysler.com/images/upload/June_2021/2021_Ram1500_SoundQuality.png"alt="Overview of how moist pollution is eliminated through the safety glass windshield of the 2021 Ram 1500”/></a>When you think of light-duty pickups, the first thing that probably comes to mind is performance followed closely by capability. However, the 2021 Ram 1500 can be equipped with advanced features to provide you with a studio-quality listening experience every time you slip behind the wheel.
 

First is the noise dampening technology. Although these trucks are powered by massive engines, you won’t be distracted or annoyed by outside sounds penetrating the cabin. This is thanks to the front windshield which is made from acoustic safety glass. Filtering out noise pollution, you can enjoy a conversation with your mates and tune in to your favourite radio shows.
 

If you opt for the available Harman Kardon stereo, you will also get 19 glorious speakers that have been strategically placed throughout the interior. Paired with a 900-watt amplifier and a booming 10-inch subwoofer, this element gives you music as you’ve never heard it before. Fully immersive, it’s like experiencing songs in 3D.
 

Finally, the Uconnect multimedia centre is typically displayed on a 5-, 8.4- or 12-inch touchscreen. This interface operates with smartphone integration like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to allow for seamless streaming.

Even the base model offers superior performance. However, the Rebel trim level provides even better off-roading features like the prestigious Bilstein shock absorbers.
 

Designed to slow down and significantly reduce vibrations from the coil spring mechanism, these specialty shock absorbers can sometimes be referred to as dampers. They operate by converting kinetic energy into thermal energy via something known as fluid friction.
 

Fluid friction decreases the speed at which the oil flow is traveling. It does this using valve passages located inside the damper that are made to stifle vibrations from the start. This process can cause the shock absorbers to heat up between 100- and 120-degrees Celsius.
 

All of this would not be possible without the help of the multilink coil spring rear suspension system. Comprised of a wide range of components - such as strut support bearings, connecting rods, control arms, rims, steering, and more - all of these pieces come together to provide you with an optimized experience inside the cabin. In other words, you can traverse over trails and jagged terrain without that annoying jarring feeling.

Whether you are heading off on a weekend camping trip or simply visiting distant relatives, this vehicle will keep your kids entertained along the way.
 

While most models in this class tend to offer DVD systems, the Durango can be equipped with the available Blu-ray Entertainment System. This adds two high-resolution screens to the backs of the front seats. Measuring 9-inches, these monitors can be used by rear passengers to watch movies, shows, or even play games. Simply use the inputs for the RCA cables and HDMI cables to hook up compatible consoles.
 

Wireless headphones can also be integrated as to not disturb you from your favourite satellite radio show. Over 200 commercial-free stations are at your disposal, and you don’t have to worry about being interrupted by annoying static.
 

With this enhancement also comes the premium Harman Kardon stereo. With a staggering 19 speakers installed throughout the cabin, you can enjoy an immersive experience with studio-quality sound. Seamless audio streaming is also possible via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

<a href="https://oconnorchrysler.com/inventory/details/265/new-2021-dodge-durango-sxt-1C4RDJAG3MC638700"><img src="https://oconnorchrysler.com/images/upload/June_2021/2021_DodgeDurango_ForwardCollisionWarning.jpg"alt="2021 Dodge Durango with Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking”/></a>If you have been thinking about buying a large SUV, then you should turn your attention to the 2021 Dodge Durango. When equipped with the available Forward Collision Warning System with Active Braking, it can help you avoid head-on accidents altogether.
 

Fitted with front-mounted sensors that can detect upcoming obstacles, this feature is extremely valuable to families. No matter how hard we try, distractions on the road can happen. With this advanced driving aid installed, you can travel confidently knowing that it will alert you to at the first sign of potential danger.
 

Once an obstacle is determined to be in your direct path, the mechanism will send out visual and audible notifications to get your attention. If no action is taken by you to prevent the impending crash, the component will trigger Active Braking to either slow the vehicle down or bring it to a complete halt.
 

Please remember that this works best at slower speeds, and it can be very useful for city driving. You also need to keep in mind that you always maintain focus on the road. This function is designed to give you peace of mind, but it doesn’t serve as a replacement for your concentration.

<a href="https://oconnorchrysler.com/inventory/details/407/new-2021-jeep-gladiator-rubicon-1C6JJTBM9ML512323"><img src="https://oconnorchrysler.com/images/upload/June_2021/2021_JeepGladiator_Rubicon_AuxiliarySwitchBank.png"alt="2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon interior with Auxiliary Switch Group installed”/></a>As with every model in the Jeep lineup, the new Gladiator can be customized to suit your needs. There are a plethora of options, and one of the favourites for people who enjoy off-roading is the Auxiliary Switch Group.
 

This package can be added at the dealership or by you at home. If you choose to install this suite yourself, please be aware that it can take between one and two hours to complete and is considered to be advanced.
 

The Auxiliary Switch Group is created to work in unison with the Uconnect infotainment system. It allows you to program the switch bank for up to four exterior or interior accessories. It can even keep a piece of equipment running while the truck’s ignition is turned off to prevent the battery from going dead.
 

The kit includes 4 switches, a power distribution centre, a wiring harness, brackets, a splice grouping, tie straps, a switch bank, and trim. For Sport and Sahara models, an extra cubby bin is also provided. Once established, it is covered by a 12-month warranty from Mopar.

Installed for its exceptional performance off-road, this system is like no other on the market today.
 

Thanks to the 4:1 low-gear ratio, this enhancement allows you to rock crawl at significantly lower speeds while maintaining the appropriate amount of torque at the wheels that need it the most. Providing the ultimate control of the distribution of traction, it is no wonder why Four Wheeler magazine named it the “4x4 of the Decade”.
 

Other components help this feature out quite a bit too. The Fox performance shocks with the revised suspension assist with absorbing the impact of jagged terrain as you travel across it. These make the experience from inside the cabin much more pleasant and less jarring. Meanwhile, the Dana wide axles (M210 in the front and M220 in the rear) work tirelessly to prevent you from getting stuck.
 

Stabilizer bars are also included. The one in the front is a disconnecting mechanism that makes adventures in the wild much more enjoyable.

First up is Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist. This combo is known as LaneSense, and it will help keep you driving on the straight and narrow. Monitoring the lines on the road, it will detect if you begin to drift off to the side. If no turn signal is activated, the feature will alert you to correct your path. If no input is given by you, it may also make minor steering adjustments to re-centre the Cherokee.
 

Next is Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking. Front-mounted radar will notify you of any upcoming obstacles directly ahead. If you get too close to the obstruction, it can take control of the brakes to bring the SUV to a complete halt.
 

Finally, the Park-Sense Rear Park Assist component is standard on the Limited and Trailhawk models. It is also available on the North and Altitude trims. Four sensors have been positioned on the rear fascia near the ParkView backup camera. An audible chime will sound if you get too near to any object behind you.

The first available feature that will come in handy often is Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist. Allowing you to manoeuvre easily into any space, this mechanism uses sensors to recognize open spots and guide the vehicle into it without much input from you. The only steps you need to take involve the accelerator, brakes, and gear shifts. Other than that, the component will handle everything else, and you won't have to worry about bumping into other cars.
 

Another great option is Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go. This technology enables you to set a speed limit and a following distance. As traffic begins to slow down, it will match with the flow so that you don’t have to stomp on the brake pedal. Once the pace picks back up, so will your Cherokee.
 

Finally, Blind Spot Monitoring will let you know if it is okay to change lanes. Standard on the Limited and Trailhawk models and optional for the North and Altitude trims, you won’t have to risk a side-swiping accident.

These generally occur in parking lots, and they usually result in small but costly damage. Luckily, the new 2021 Chrysler 300 is equipped with safety systems to help prevent this type of incident.
 

First is ParkView. This handy backup camera sends a live video feed straight to the Uconnect touchscreen interface. From here, you can monitor what’s going on behind you as you move in reverse. This particular element is standard across the entire lineup of 300 models.
 

Also available is Park-Sense Front and Rear Park Assist. Adding sensors to the face and back of the vehicle, it will alert you with audible chimes if you get too close to an obstacle. Working for parallel or perpendicular manoeuvres, you won't have to worry about bumping into anyone’s car.
 

Finally, Rear Cross-Path Detection can also be included in the mix. This will notify you if another automobile travels behind you while you are backing out of your driveway.

Designed to prevent side-swiping accidents, the following components will help you stay in your lane.
 

Grouped as a two-in-one feature known as LaneSense, Lane-Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist each serve their own purpose. Here’s how they work.
 

A front-facing camera keeps tabs on the markings in the road and what position the sedan is in at all times. You can activate this mechanism by pushing the corresponding button located on the Uconnect infotainment hub. You can verify that it is on by looking for the notification on the instrument cluster display.
 

If you begin to drift, the white icon will change to a yellow flashing alert on the screen. In some cases, it will also apply force to the steering wheel to bring you back to the centre. Please keep in mind that you can override the corrective action for safety reasons.
