Features You’ll Want on your New Car
At one time if your car had power lock doors and power windows, you were in the lap of luxury. Today, there is a whole new range of devices and doodads that technology offers to car owners. What latest features will you want on your new car? Let’s take a look.
On Star
This is a great little piece of technology that you won’t want to do without. On Star gives you a real human assistant who is only the push of a button away. If you are a woman driving at night and someone is following you, just push the On Star button and the police will be called and sent to offer you assistance. Guys, need roadside assistance? Push the button and a tow truck will arrive shortly. If you’re in a car accident – not, and your air bags deploy, On Star will call you to be sure you are all right. Yes, they definitely know when air bags deploy.
One of the most amazing things about On Star is that it can even find your vehicle if it is stolen, whether it disappear from your driveway or from a parking lot. If you’re locked out, On Star has a remote control that will open your vehicle.
How do you get this top notch On Star service? You purchase it for a low monthly payment of around $20. It’s a must have and can even be a life saver.
Skid Control
A skid control system uses anti-lock brake sensors, steering wheel and pedal position sensors and accelerometers to decide what your vehicle is doing and what you want it to be doing. If these two equations don’t add up, the skid control system can apply your brakes to individual wheels. Even the best driver can’t accomplish that amazing feat. Skid control also reduces the power of your vehicle’s engine to keep it headed in the direction you are steering toward. A skid control system works great and you never know it’s there until you need it. Then, it’s right on top of the situation. Skid control is a great feature that you’ll want on your next new car.
Keyless Entry
Keyless entry is a toy, there’s no doubt about it, but one that you will definitely want to have if you’re in the market for a new car. With keyless entry, all you have to do is push a button on a small remote control that you hold in our hand and that is most often attached to your key ring. This allows you the ability to get into your car quickly in all situations and gives you protection.
Most keyless remotes work like this. You push the remote once and only the driver’s door opens. You push it again and all the doors unlock. If someone is following you through a dimly lighted parking lot, hit the button before you get to your car. Then, quickly slide into your seat while pushing the lock button. Presto! You’re safe and sound, even though the adrenaline is still pumping. But don’t stop there. Push the panic button on the keyless entry remote and the headlights start flashing and the horn blasts. No one with ill intentions is going to stick around with the lights flashing and the horn blasting. On the other hand, some people will come to find out what all the commotion is about. This is another handy device that could save your life.
So, if you’re in the market for a new car, ask the salesman if the vehicle model that you’re considering has all of these amazing gadgets attached for the price. If not, try to get him to cut a deal. All three features are offered on most new cars.
