7 Tips for Planning a Family Trip This Fall
October is Chevy Truck Month! If you’re planning on taking your family on a road trip this fall in a new Chevy truck, you should make sure to plan it carefully. Martin Chevy has come up with seven tips for a successful and safe family road trip.
- Have a reliable GPS on hand. Even if you’ve mapped your route ahead of time, unexpected roadblocks can occur. A GPS is a great way to safely navigate an alternate route. Use Chevrolet MyLink to sync up your iPhone to the Silverado’s touch screen for hands-free navigation capabilities.
- Get your vehicle inspected. If your Chevy truck is a little older, you will want to have it thoroughly inspected to make sure everything is running smoothly. Visit Martin Chevy’s auto service center to have your truck looked at.
- Pack a first aid kit and highway safety kit. Always be prepared for the unexpected. Martin Chevy is happy to order these necessary vehicle accessories for you.
- Subscribe to OnStar services. When you purchase a new Silverado, you’ll get six months of OnStar Automatic Crash Response for unforeseen moments.
- Stash a properly inflated spare tire. If your vehicle comes with a spare tire, make sure to inspect it before leaving for your trip. We can also order a spare tire for your Chevy truck.
- Check the tire pressure. Swing by the Martin Chevy service center to have your Silverado or Colorado’s tire pressure checked before heading out on your fall adventure.
- Secure your truck’s bed. Sure, the Silverado and Colorado have plenty of space to fit whatever essential road trip items you need, but if there’s any extra room, they will almost certainly slide around. A bed net will keep all your belongings in place no matter what type of terrain your Chevy truck powers through. Request a bed net for your truck from Martin Chevy.
Martin Chevy has some of the best deals available on one of America’s favorite truck brands. From the 2015 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab to the 2015 Silverado 2500 HD, you’ll find a truck to fit your every need.

2016 Chevy Malibu Teen Driver Technology
The day when you finally bestow a set of keys to your newly licensed son or daughter is a moment that fills teens with excitement and parents with dread, and for good reason. According to reports by the CDC and IIHS, car crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S teens, who are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as drivers age 20 and older. The Malibu is an affordable car in a world where its getting more expensive to raise a family written by BumpReveal.com.
Parents in the Crystal Lake, IL area can hand over the keys with a greater peace of mind thanks to the new GM program, Teen Driver, debuting with the 2016 Chevy Malibu. Activated when a specific key is entered into the ignition, Teen Driver monitors trip driving habits and how often safety programs are being triggered.
- Distance traveled
- Maximum speed reached
- Stability control activations
- Traction control activations
- Forward collision alerts
- Forward collision avoidance braking activations
Parents can then access a “report card” via a pin number entered into the car’s computer to see the results.
Chevrolet calls Teen Driver a teaching program. If parents notice that after their teenager used the car multiple forward collision alerts were issued, they can easily see what bad driving habits their teenager is developing and correct the behavior. For example, since more than half of teenagers killed in car accidents were not wearing seatbelts, when the car is in Teen Driver mode the radio remains muted until both driver and front passengers seatbelts are engaged. Parents can also set maximum radio volume, and have audible and visible alerts go off when a maximum speed is exceeded.
Chevrolet has announced plans to make Teen Driver standard on all of their vehicles in the future. For now, Teen Driver is available only as an option on the 2016 Chevy Malibu LT and standard on the Malibu premium trim.
Make sure your teen learns safe driving habits every time they get behind the wheel with the 2016 Chevy Malibu, available at Martin Nissan for families with young drivers in the Crystal Lake, IL area. Call our dealership @ 866-800-1100 or visit our website to schedule a test drive. You can check our comparison of the 2016 Chevy Malibu vs 2016 Chevy Impala here!
