2010 Corolla Named "Top Safety Pick" by IIHS!

2010-03-17T08:57:00.000-07:00

Sloane Champion Toyota, your local Toyota dealership serving the Philadelphia area is excited to present the super safe 2010 Toyota Corolla!

For the second time in a row, the Toyota Corolla Compact Sedan has earned the IIHS "Top Safety Pick" for its top class safety features.

The "Top Safety Pick" is the highest safety designation awarded by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) which is an independent non-profit research and communications organization funded by auto insurance companies. To qualify for this award, a vehicle must earn the highest rating of "good" in the IIHS' front, side, rollover, and rear impact tests and be equipped with electronic stability control. The IIHS testing was made more stringent in 2010 with the addition of the rollover test, but it did not stop the Corolla from capturing its second consecutive "Top Safety Pick."

The recently added rollover rating demands that a vehicle in order to earn a "good" rollover rating, the roof must be able to support the equivalent of four times the vehicle's weight compared with the current federal standard of 1.5. In the IIHS testing, Toyota Corolla's weight withstood 5.1 times its vehicle weight.

Tips to help your car cope with cold weather

2009-09-22T23:14:00.000-07:00

It's indisputable that vehicles require periodic maintenance round the year to stay in trouble-free condition. But when the mercury starts dipping, your car needs that extra care to overcome the harsh weather and hazardous road conditions. Cold weather will have direct impact on your car which impedes its performance making it a bit sluggish.

Champion Toyota, the prime dealer of new Toyota cars in Norwich, is happy to announce that the technicians at their well-equipped service center are always at your service to help you prepare your car for the harsh winter. You can also get original Toyota parts and accessories from Charles Toyota's automotive accessory store.

So plan ahead and don't let your car 'succumb' to the extreme winter conditions. Spruce up your car to battle the cold weather better by taking the following 'anti-winter' measures.

Check the Battery:

When the temperature drops, so does the battery power of your car. So do a load-test and ensure that it's strong enough and has optimum cranking power to start in cold conditions. Check the fluid level and top it off with distilled water. Check for any loose cables and adequately remove corrosion to facilitate energy transfer.

Go for winter tires:

Don't use your car as your ski board! The summer or all-season tires may not provide adequate grip to ride safely on snow or ice. Opt for winter tires which have snow-friendly tread patterns that offer better grip. Also, keep tires inflated at the air pressure recommended by the manufacturer and rotate tires at specified intervals.

Check the Oil level:

Check the oil level and filter at regular intervals and switch to lighter oil that gets circulated easily. The cold weather will make oil thick and it's highly recommended to use suitable winter motor oil that provides optimum oil flow at low temperatures. Any oil brand with a "W" (which stands for "winter") in the name is suitable. Common formulas include 5W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-30.

Check the Cooling System:

The cooling system consists of radiator, thermostat, pump, heater and a bunch of hoses that helps your car to keep running at normal operating temperatures. Check the fluid level and anti-freezer/water ratio in the radiator. The radiator should have 50/50 mixture of anti-freezer and water. The anti-freezer prevents your car from freezing which otherwise would over heat your car resulting in cracked hoses and damaged pumps. It's highly recommended to flush the cooling system every other year.

Maintain Visibility:

Ensure that your ice-repelling wiper blades are in good condition. Also check whether the headlights, tail lights and turn lights work properly. Replace the burned-out bulbs immediately. Clean the snow and ice from the light for better visibility which also help other motorists to see you. Keep the windshield washer reservoir filled with solution that has an antifreeze agent added.

Login to http://www.championcars.com/parts-service/service-appointment.jsp and submit the form that represents your desired date and time for an appointment and Charles Toyota's Service Appointment Coordinator will contact you promptly to confirm the availability of your request. You can also visit http://www.championcars.com/parts-service/order-parts.jsp and submit the Toyota part order form and the Parts Professional of the Norwich Toyota dealer will contact you promptly.
