Safety is very important when you're driving, and Chevy has your back. Chevy Safety Assist is a bundle of safety features you get with all models that actively protect you and your passengers. As your Chevy dealer, we want to tell you more about how these Chevy safety features enhance your driving experience. Forward Collision Assist This feature utilizes cameras and radar to track any vehicle in front of you. If it detects something, the system determines the distance between the other vehicle's rear bumper and the front of your Chevy and the possibility of a collision based on relative speeds. It provides both visual and audio alerts to warn you of the danger. If you don't take corrective action in time, emergency braking will be activated. The system will slow your vehicle or bring it to an instant stop to prevent an accident. Following Distance Indicator This helpful feature measures the gap between your Chevy and any vehicle ahead of you. It calculates the distance in seconds based on both vehicle's speeds and displays the figure on your windshield. This information enables you to decide if you're following at a safe distance so you can take corrective action if necessary. Lane Keeping Assist The lane-keeping system recognizes road lines and attempts to keep you in the center of your lane at all times. If it detects that you're inadvertently drifting out of your lane, the system will give you visual and audio alerts and gently turn the wheel to move your Chevy back into the lane again. Front Pedestrian Braking Similar to the vehicle warning systems above, pedestrian braking detects pedestrians walking or standing in the path of your vehicle. Visual and audio warnings will inform you of the impending danger. The system will immediately apply emergency braking to prevent an accident or reduce the damage caused. IntelliBeam Your headlights are essential for night driving, and you'll automatically switch to high beams if there are no other vehicles around to improve your vision. High beams can be distracting or even temporarily blinding for a driver heading in your direction, and physically switching the beams can distract you. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​IntelliBeam solves this problem by switching to low beams when necessary and then switching back to high beams if no vehicles are identified ahead of you. Automatic Emergency Braking As we've seen above, emergency braking can be triggered to stop your Chevy ASAP. Additional Systems Many other safety systems may be standard or available depending on your Chevy model. These systems include rear park assist, rear camera mirror, and rear pedestrian alert. If you'd like more information on your safety systems, contact us today at Mike Kelly Chevrolet in Butler, PA. Image via Chevrolet

Driving inside a hot, stuffy cabin sucks, especially in the summer. If you want to enjoy breezy, comfortable rides, you need to stay on top of AC service. Let's look at why those routine AC checks at your local Chevy dealer are so important. Achieve Better Cooling When was the last time you had your AC's refrigerant levels checked and recharged? If your air conditioner is low on refrigerant, it will struggle to cool your cabin. You won't get enough cooling, no matter how much you crank up the AC. When servicing the unit, your technician will check refrigerant levels and recharge the system to restore proper cooling. The tech will also clean the air filter to remove blockages that may be impeding airflow to the cabin. If the system has worn components, the technician will replace them to keep the AC running smoothly. Improve Cabin Air Quality Cleaning that dirty cabin air filter isn't just about cooling power. It also clears out dust, pollen, and other contaminants that reduce cabin air quality. If your air filter is old, your technician will replace it to improve airflow. They will also clean the AC vents and check for moisture issues that can lead to stinky mold and mildew buildup. Regularly cleaning and replacing your filter is especially important before and after the summer to keep allergens out of your cabin. Catch and Fix Minor Issues Minor AC issues, like a tiny refrigerant leak or a worn hose, can cause cooling problems if left unchecked. With routine inspections, your technician can spot these issues early and fix them before they snowball. They will also inspect critical components like the compressor, blow motor, fan, and condenser. Save Money on Expensive Repairs Regular AC checks can save you money on expensive repairs. For example, minor refrigerant leaks can be fixed inexpensively when caught on time. But if you ignore a leak, it can strain the compressor, causing it to wear out prematurely. Service your AC regularly to prolong its lifespan and avoid spending hundreds of dollars on new components. How to Tell It's Time to Get an AC Service for Your Chevy The easiest way to keep your AC running smoothly is to service it regularly. Opt for seasonal tuneups, like prepping for summer heat or getting it dehumidified for fall. Even with proper maintenance, your AC may develop issues down the road. Watch out for these signs of a failing unit: Strange smell in the cabin Inadequate cooling Short cycling Loud noises when the AC is running No cool air from the AC If you notice these signs, it's time to get a checkup at the dealership. Get ahead of AC woes by scheduling regular checkups. Contact Mike Kelley Chevrolet in Butler, PA to schedule a service. Image via Chevrolet

Have you ever had a warning light appear on your dash and wondered what it means? Chevy dashboard lights can indicate everything from low oil levels to issues with the engine and everything in between. We take you through the most common warning lights and what they mean, so you'll know whether to take immediate action and visit your local Chevy dealer to let the experts take a look. Oil Level Warning A picture of an oil can always comes on briefly when you start your vehicle. However, if it appears and stays illuminated, your car is in need of lubrication. Whether you identify the icon as an oil can or a genie's lamp, when it remains on, you should head to a service center for an oil change and/or top-up. Low Fuel Indicator The gas pump symbol is one of the most common warning signals to light up dashboards across the country, as it appears when the fuel gauge indicator is almost empty. Don't wait until your Chevy is running on fumes. When you first see the gas pump icon, fill up at the next gas station and avoid the risk of being stranded with no fuel miles away from anywhere. High Engine Temperature You'll see the engine coolant temperature warning when the engine has overheated. Symbolized by a thermometer gauge coming out of two wavy lines, this light means the engine is struggling to cool itself, and you need to pull over to the side of the road as soon as is safely possible and switch off the car. Engine Malfunction One warning light that should never be ignored is the outline of an old-fashioned engine. Its appearance signifies that a serious problem with the engine has been detected and which needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Even if you haven't noticed any difference in your Chevy's performance, don't hesitate. Visit your local service center immediately. Tire Pressure Issue What looks like an exclamation mark inside a fishbowl is telling you one or more of your tires is underinflated. As soon as possible, check the pressure in each tire, ensuring they are all at the necessary pressure and inflating any that aren't. The light should go out once all your tires are at the correct pressure. From alerting you to low oil or fuel levels to indicating a problem with the battery, these lights are key to keeping your car in top condition. Whatever light you're getting on your dash, head to Mike Kelly Chevrolet and let our skilled technicians get your Chevy back up and running in perfect condition. Image via Pixabay

The mechanics at your Chevy dealer need to perform lots of different services on your car to make sure it remains in good condition. If something small is wrong with it, like if it's misaligned, then you may start experiencing small issues that gradually become big ones. Getting a regular wheel alignment is important for the health of your tires and the position of your steering wheel, Alignments Prevent Uneven Tread Wear When your wheels aren't aligned, the tires don't maintain uniform contact with the road. The wheels may tilt inward or outward, meaning one part of your tire makes more contact with the road, and therefore, the tread on that part of the tire wears down faster than the rest. Unevenly worn down tires need to be replaced more frequently than evenly worn ones, and they can also cause problems. Alignments Prevent Your Vehicle from Pulling When your wheels aren't aligned, your car may pull to the left or right while you're driving. This means you have to focus more while driving to correct the direction your vehicle is going in. It can also be dangerous to other drivers and may make you unintentionally bump against them or the sides of the road. It's less stressful for you and safer for everybody to make sure your wheels are always aligned. Alignments Prevent Steering Alignment Issues When your wheels aren't aligned, your steering wheel isn't, either. When you're overdue to have your wheels aligned, you might notice that your steering wheel is turned to one side even if you're driving straight. This makes turning more difficult, and it makes it more stressful to try to drive in a straight line. Alignments Prevent Steering Wheel Vibrations Your steering wheel might give off some feedback by vibrating when your wheels aren't aligned. This can be uncomfortable and distracting, so it's best to get regular alignments to prevent this issue from occurring. What Do Mechanics Look for to Make Sure Your Wheels Are Aligned? When you go to get your wheels aligned, the mechanic will actually be working on your vehicle's suspension system. This is the system that connects the body of your car to the wheels. During the alignment, the angles of the tires are adjusted to make sure they aren't tilted. Specifically, the mechanic will check on the inward or outward angle of the tires when looked at from the front and above. They'll also make sure your tires don't turn inward or outward. Visit Mike Kelly Chevrolet in Butler, PA to get your wheels aligned regularly. We'll perform all the maintenance you need to keep your Chevy running perfectly. Image via Chevrolet
