Cadillac Improves Navigation Services

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., – With its recent advances in technology with Vehicle to Vehicle Communication (V2V), Cadillac improves its navigation services with new Vehicle to Infrastructure Communication. Vehicle to Vehicle communication allows Cadillac vehicles to detect potential hazards from nearby vehicles, such as premature breaking and other vehicles merging into lanes. Vehicle to Infrastructure technology will allow Cadillac vehicles to detect different hazards and conditions ahead of time, such as weather, traffic, and other potential dangers. This will help Cadillac drivers remain safer on the roads and will get them to their destinations at a much quicker and efficient pace.

The technology, which was tested in Michigan, allowed the Cadillac CTS, equipped with Vehicle to Infrastructure Communication, to predict traffic signals and navigate through Warren. The car gave indicators to the driver when they were driving too fast near a red light to prevent any traffic violations through running a red light. The CTS's GPS communication allows it to send and receive 1,000 messages per second, giving this advanced technology a lot of insight on safety and road conditions. 

To keep the driver safe, it doesn't transmit any personal information like your VIN, registration, or MAC address. Since the signal is wireless, firewalls have also been implemented to protect the driver from any cyber attacks. The signal is exclusively communicated between the infrastructure and the vehicle, which keeps the car's computer just as safe as the driver will be with the new navigation technology. 

The new 2017 Cadillac CTS comes equipped with V2V technology as a standard implementation, so drivers will be able to use this cutting-edge feature as they hit the road this summer. Cadillac's improved navigation services will help their drivers get where they need to go as quickly as possible. Among other features, the V2V will be regularly updated, allowing Cadillac drivers to make the most of the wide array of features available. Take a look at some of the features the CTS has to offer, or at the wide range of Cadillac vehicles that Serra Traverse City has to offer!

Tips on How to Enjoy Your Summer With Seasonal Allergies

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., -- Sunny days and warm weather mark the beginning of the summer for most - for almost 36 million Americans, however, this is also prime time for seasonal allergies. Runny noses, congestion and itchy eyes can make or break the start of summer for some. However, there are several steps you can take in order to prevent the allergies from ruining the beginning of your summer. Here are a few tips on how to enjoy your summer with seasonal allergies:

• Check the pollen count before leaving the house

The biggest trigger of seasonal allergies is pollen, and keeping an eye on the pollen count on sunny days is key. Going to the beach or the lake can be very effective against pollen, though, so make sure you plan accordingly!

• Wash your hair before bed

Your hair collects a lot of pollen throughout the day. If you wash it before you go to bed, it won't collect on your bed and you'll feel a lot less sick when you wake up.

• Dry your clothes inside

If you dry your sheets or clothing on clotheslines, they can accumulate pollen as well, which can make sleeping and even walking around in clothing very uncomfortable.

• Wear sunglasses!

Itchy eyes bothering you? The best way to avoid irritation is to protect your eyes with sunglasses or goggles, especially when you're gardening or doing yard work on hot and sunny days.

• Use air conditioning in your car

If you like driving with your windows down, you expose yourself to a lot of fast-moving pollen that can make your sinuses react poorly. Using air conditioning can keep you safe and focused on the road without any distractions!

Using all of these tips should keep your eyes, nose, and throat feeling brand new and will help you enjoy your summer with seasonal allergies. While you're out and enjoying your day, you can take advantage of some of our spring coupons that are still available, including our pothole special! Have any questions? Feel free to contact us with any service, vehicle, or general questions and we'll be more than happy to answer!

The Spring Pothole Special, which includes FREE alignment check, FREE multi-point vehicle inspection, regular oil and filter change, 4-tire rotation and balance.

Our body shop manager at Serra of Traverse City, Jim Flohe, was recently interviewed by Up North Live on the importance of having your vehicle examined after hitting potholes.

"The biggest thing is that if you know that you've hit a pretty big pothole, the driver should have it checked to make sure the tires aren't damaged," Jim explained. "You want to get it checked so it won't blow out on you later. If there's sidewall damage or if the tire is cracked you are going to start losing air. So, you should have it checked out to make sure there are no other issues and if there are issues, you need to get it addressed right away."
