Jeep's Advanced Infotainment System: Tips and Tricks for New Users

Image via Snethkamp CDJR With every new Jeep comes not just the spirit of adventure and a vehicle ready for whatever the trail throws at you. Each new Jeep also comes with a high-tech, Uconnect Jeep infotainment system capable of keeping you connected as you explore the world. While your manual will have plenty of information on how to get started with Uconnect, as a Jeep dealer, it's important to us that you have a great experience with your new car! Connect Your Smartphone One of the first things you should do with your Uconnect system is connect your smartphone. That will allow you to receive and reply to texts, make and receive calls hands-free, and stream audio from your device. And, if your vehicle supports it, you can also use Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to control your devices, using the classic "Hey Google" and "Hey Siri" commands seamlessly. Use Voice Command for Hands-Free Control You can access the Uconnect system without taking your hands off the wheel by using voice commands. Keep in mind, though, that if you want your Jeep to change music that's streaming from your device, that device must be connected via USB port. Helpful command formats include: "Tune to ninety-nine point five FM" "Change source to Bluetooth" "Play artist Beethoven" or "Play genre classical" "Call John Smith", "Redial", and "Call Back" "Set driver temperature to 72 degrees" Don't Forget to Set Up Your Wi-Fi Compatible Jeeps have a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot built in! Activate your subscription, then tap the Apps icon on your Uconnect touchscreen, and manage the settings to your liking, including your network name and password. Let Alexa Help If your vehicle supports Alexa Built-in and you have the Wi-Fi Hotspot enabled, Alexa can be your co-pilot! Ask Alexa to stream your favorite playlist, check your calendar, or even add items to your shopping list if you think of a critical item mid-drive. You can also ask Alexa to start your vehicle from your device at home or from your smartphone, making sure your Jeep is ready for the road the moment you settle into the driver's seat. Make Sure to Get Vehicle Health Reports Your new Jeep is one smart car! With the Wi-Fi hotspot enabled, your Jeep can send you monthly health reports, letting you know when it needs maintenance, current mileage, fuel status, and more. You can also access your Vehicle Health Report from your Jeep app. If you're not a current Jeep driver, or you're looking to upgrade to a Jeep with the Uconnect system installed, stop by Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Redford, MI and discover what the happens when future of infotainment is built into a vehicle built for adventure.

5 Green Features of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe

Image via Snethkamp CDJR While the automotive hybrid movement was spearheaded by Japanese automakers in the late 1990s, drivers of the first hybrids would be utterly floored by the eco-friendly designs and systems baked into the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. This 4x4 powerhouse of an off-roader looks nothing like the Kammback-tailed hybrids of yesteryear; but just because it looks like the off-road beast that it is doesn't mean the 4xe doesn't have serious eco-conscious cred. 1. More Power (Not Less) One thing that would surprise owners of the underpowered hybrids of yesteryear is that the 2024 Wrangler 4xe offers significantly more power than its gas-powered siblings. Most Wranglers come with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 gasoline-only engine, offering 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. But the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) drivetrain in the 4xe offers up to 375 total horsepower and a staggering 470 lb-ft of torque, amplifying the amount of off-road fun and capability in the 4xe. 2. Petroleum-Free Daily Drives With an all-electric range of up to 21 miles on a full charge, most Wrangler drivers can skip out on pricey petrochemicals altogether for their daily commutes. And with more power companies than ever offering eco-friendly power source options like wind, geothermal, or solar, Wrangler 4xe drivers can not only reduce tailpipe emissions, but also reduce their emissions at the root source of power, too. 3. Zippy Charging The 2024 Wrangler 4xe offers an estimated 49 mpge, drastically reducing fuel consumption overall. It also comes with a Level 1 charging cable, capable of juicing up your 4xe to a full charge in 12 hours. However, a simple-to-use and delightfully affordable Free2move Charge Level 2 EV Charger can charge the battery in just 2 hours, meaning that drivers can maximize their electric miles. 4. Solar-Powered Adventures Jeep isn't stopping there, though, because they understand that electric chargers need to meet Jeeps where they're designed to go: off-road and on-trail. That's why Jeep is working to install solar-powered chargers at off-road trailheads across the United States, ensuring that Wrangler 4xe drivers can top off the juice and defend their environment even as they conquer it. 5. Regenerative Braking Regenerative braking has been around the hybrid world for a long time, but Jeep has integrated it into the Wrangler 4xe, and a special Max Regeneration mode reconfigures the accelerator pedal to enable more aggressive regeneration at low pedal positions. That means you can not only slow the Wrangler 4xe without a brake pedal, confident that it's actively charging the battery, but also knowing that the mode remains engaged until you choose to disable it. With so many eco-friendly features, there's no wonder the 2024 Wrangler 4xe keeps being a favor. Test-drive yours today at Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Redford, MI, and discover what the "power" part of solar-powered feels like.

Laredo X This trim comes with an upgrade from 17-inch to 18-inch wheels. The Laredo X also adds a power sunroof. 4. Altitude Consider the Altitude trim to upgrade the cabin of your Grand Cherokee with synthetic leather upholstery. This model also adds wireless charging, remote start, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a power liftgate, a heated steering wheel, and heated front seats, but it doesn't include the sunroof. 5. Altitude X This model gives you all the amenities in the Altitude trim. The Grand Cherokee Altitude X also brings back the power sunroof. 6.

Summit You'll appreciate the Summit trim for extra driver assistance tech such as parking assist, traffic sign recognition, and a surround-view camera. This Grand Cherokee gives you the comfort of four-zone auto climate control and massaging front seats. 9.

Getting a New Car Battery for Your CDJR Vehicle

Image via Pixabay. Nothing is more inconvenient than your car battery dying on you. The good news is that this doesn't happen randomly. There are multiple signs your vehicle will give you to say your battery is no longer reliable. Watch out for these signs and get a new car battery at your CDJR dealer. Signs It's Time to Get a New Car Battery From Your CDJR Dealer Engine Turns Over Slowly If your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM cranks multiple times or sounds reluctant to start, a dying battery could be the culprit. As a battery ages, it deteriorates until it can no longer provide enough power to start the engine. If you don't replace the battery, it may die and leave you stranded. Headlights Dim When Idling When your battery starts to die, your headlights will dim when idling and become brighter once you accelerate. This is because the battery is responsible for powering electrical components when idling. If it's not holding enough charge, it won't be able to power the lights, so your headlights will dim. Your Battery Looks Corroded If you suspect your CDJR vehicle has battery issues, pop the hood and inspect the top of the battery. If you notice a powdery white or blue residue around the terminals, your battery is corroded. You may also notice cracks or bulges in the battery casing. All these are signs that the battery is deteriorating and should be replaced immediately. Electrical Components Are Failing Modern CDJR vehicles have various in-cabin electrical systems like heated seats, power windows and locks, infotainment systems, power seats, and more. These components use power from the battery when the engine is off or idling. If you notice sluggish operation in these systems when the car is in idle, your battery could be failing. It is no longer able to hold enough charge to power the electrical components. Your Battery Struggles in Cold Weather Car batteries don't generally perform well in cold weather because the chemical reactions start to slow down. However, a healthy battery should still be able to crank the engine properly when it's cold. If you are forced to jump-start your car frequently during the cold season, your battery is dying. Our technicians can test it and let you know if it's time to get a new one. You Have an Old Car Battery Vehicle batteries usually last around four to five years, but the lifespan depends on factors like climate, driving habits, and maintenance. Even if you are lucky to get more life out of yours, it's a good idea to start anticipating battery replacement as soon as you hit the four-year mark. Once you start to notice minor electrical issues, replace the battery before it's too late. Batteries don't last forever, so stay alert to these warning signs. Contact Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM in Redford, MI to order a new battery for your vehicle.

A 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L on a hillside

What Makes the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Special?

Image via Snethkamp CDJR. As a leading local Jeep dealership, there are plenty of amazing models that come through our lot. After all, Jeep makes a head-turning lineup of fun-friendly and family-friendly SUVs. But there's nothing quite like the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Built for Families The Grand Cherokee L was designed especially for families. Featuring three rows of comfortable seats, the L edition can seat six with captain's chairs installed in the second row, or seven with the optional bench seat installed. The ability to bring kids, pets, and friends along for the ride means not having to use a second vehicle for most family outings, and optional leather seating means everyone in the family can ride in style. Worried about what's going on in the back? The Grand Cherokee L has an optional rear-seat monitoring camera to keep an eye on cargo, pets, and little ones and make sure everyone's playing nicely and safely on the ride. There are also a whopping six USB-A and USB-C charging ports, with two in each row, helping everyone keep their devices juiced up. Built for Fun There's an old saying we love: growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional, and kids of all ages can enjoy the off-road capabilities of the Grand Cherokee L. The 3.6-liter DOHC V6 engine puts out up to 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, offering plenty of pep, while the upgraded 5.7-liter HEMI V8 offers 357 horses and 390 lb-ft of torque for a blisteringly fun drive. Whether it's the optional 4x4 drivetrain or the available Select-Terrain Traction Management System, the Grand Cherokee L is loaded with features built for the bouncy ride over rough terrain. The Quadra-Lift air suspension system automatically raises and lowers ride height depending on speed and terrain, offering maximum highway fuel efficiency and peak ground clearance when off-road. Built for Cargo Just because the Grand Cherokee L can transport up to seven passengers doesn't mean it can't haul plenty of stuff, too. Using the available power-folding feature of the third row offers seats for four or five and 46.9 cubic feet of storage, while folding both the second and third rows opens up a cavernous 84.6 cubic feet of space. That means plenty of room for hauling furniture, hardware store goodies, or sports equipment. The 2024 Grand Cherokee L also offers best-in-class towing capacity, with the 3.6-liter engine offering an impressive 6,200 pounds, while the upgraded HEMI engine offers a titanic 7,200 pounds of towing capacity. That makes the Grand Cherokee L perfect for hauling boats, moving trailers, or even another vehicle if the need arises. Whether your interest is in off-road playtime or having the sleekest SUV at the soccer game, there's a Grand Cherokee with your name on it. Test drive your next family ride today at Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Redford, MI.

How Often Does Your CDJR Vehicle Need an Oil Change?

Image via Snethkamp CDJR. Owning a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram (CDJR) vehicle means you've chosen a reliable and capable machine, but to keep it performing at its best, you need to get to know your machine and its needs: and that includes knowing how often to change its oil. While getting an oil change at your CDJR dealership might seem like a minor detail, it's one of the most important investments you can make in your vehicle's longevity. There's no single answer that fits every model and every driver. Here's why: Advances in Technology Modern CDJR vehicles are engineered with high-quality components and often use advanced synthetic oils. These factors contribute to longer intervals between recommended oil changes, often in the range of 7,500 to 10,000 miles. But if you have an older vehicle, say pre-2006, or if you only use conventional oil and not synthetic, you should ask us about whether 3,000 to 5,000 miles is a better frequency for you. Your Owner's Manual The most reliable authority on oil frequency for your specific CDJR is the owner's manual. It will outline the manufacturer's tailored recommendations based on your vehicle's model year and engine type. Driving Habits Matter If you frequently subject your CDJR to "severe use" conditions like towing, off-roading, driving around in extreme temperatures, or going mainly on short trips with a lot of stop/start driving and idling, you may need oil changes more often than the manual suggests. Why Ignoring Oil Is a Bad Idea Motor oil is constantly lubricating, cooling, and cleaning vital components in your powerful engine, and, over time, heat and stress cause oil to degrade. Without proper lubrication, friction increases within the engine, causing premature wear on delicate parts. This shortens your engine's lifespan. Degraded oil also struggles to control engine temperatures, potentially leading to overheating and severe damage. An engine with excess internal friction also loses power and fuel efficiency, and you might start to notice that at the pump. Plus, skipping oil changes could lead to the need for major engine repairs or even replacement, which is a far more expensive proposition. The Benefits of Staying on Schedule When you get your oil swapped out regularly, you're extending the life expectancy of the heart of your vehicle and keeping your CDJR running smoothly and efficiently. You'll also save by preventing expensive and inconvenient repairs down the road while gaining confidence in your vehicle's reliability. Stick to a solid preventive maintenance plan that includes regularly changing out the oil, and you'll enjoy peak performance and long-term reliability from your CDJR vehicle: and countless worry-free miles along the way. To learn more or schedule service, talk to us at Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Redford, MI today.

The 2024 Dodge Durango driving on a street.

Your Introduction to the 2024 Dodge Durango

Image via Snethkamp CDJR. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Dodge Durango has a long and impressive history, dating back to its first-generation launch in 1997. Now in its third generation, this three-row SUV continues to delight drivers with its impressive power and capabilities. As your Dodge dealership, we're going to take you on a tour of some of the many highlights of the 2024 Dodge Durango. Under the Hood The standard engine is a 3.6L Pentastar V6 that produces 295 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. You also have the option to upgrade to a 5.7L HEMI V8 with 360 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque. If you'd like more power, the SRT 392 trim AWD has a 6.4L HEMI V8 with 475 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. For the ultimate engine for your Durango, the SRT Hellcat AWD offers a 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 with 710 hp and 645 lb-ft of torque. The standard transmission with all engines is 8-speed, and RWD is standard, although AWD is available. AWD is standard on the SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat. Towing The Durango has a varied towing capacity depending on engine size and drivetrain. The 3.6L V6 can tow up to 6,200 pounds when fully equipped. This rises to 7,400 pounds with the 5.7L V8 and 8,700 pounds with the 6.4L V8 and supercharged 6.2L V8. Fuel Economy Powerful engines like the V6 and especially the V8 can be very thirsty, but these Dodge engines have high-tech features to provide you with the best fuel economy. The 3.6L with RWD reaches 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, and the AWD version is slightly down at 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The 5.7L V8 achieves 14 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway on both RWD and AWD versions. The larger 6.4L V8 is only available in AWD and hits 13 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. The ultimate engine, the supercharged 6.2L V8, scores 12 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway. Interior Comfort The interior is roomy, with more than enough space for seven people. The front seating area, for example, provides 39.9" of headroom and 40.3" of legroom for each seat. The second row, in comparison, offers a comfortable 39.8" of headroom and 38.6" of legroom. Cargo Capacity One of the main reasons to choose an SUV is the cargo area. The trunk space is 17.2 cubic feet, which rises to 43.3 cubic feet with the third row folded down. If you fold the second-row seating, space balloons to 85.1 cubic feet. These are just a few reasons to choose the Durango, but there are many more.

A close-up image of a tire with an emphasis on the texture of its tread

6 Signs Your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram Vehicle Needs New Tires

Image via Pixabay. Have you driven for more than 60,000 miles or five years on your current tires? It's probably time for a fresh set. You can get your new tires at your local CDJR dealer, and the dealer will be happy to help you maintain them so your new set lasts a long time. 1. Too Little Tread Depth Tires need at least 1/16 of an inch of tread depth to be road-safe, though you should have at least double that if you drive on wet roads frequently. You should regularly measure your tread depth using a tread depth gauge so you'll know when it's time for a fresh set of tires. Alternatively, you can put a Lincoln-head penny upside down into the tread to check the depth. When Lincoln's whole profile is visible, it's time to replace your tires. 2. Too Much Vibration Even cars that deliver extremely smooth rides have a little vibration on each journey. If you've had your vehicle for a while, then you know how much vibration is normal for it. If you notice rides are getting more uncomfortable with more vibration, then you should visit the dealer. Worn-down tires can result in rides with more vibration, as can unbalanced and misaligned tires. 3. Cracked Sidewall Inspect your tires regularly for signs of damage. Specifically, look out for grooves and cracks visible on the sidewall. If you spot any grooves or cracks, then it could be a sign that your tire is leaking or that it's going to blow out soon. Visit the dealer ASAP, as driving on damaged tires is a safety hazard. 4. Blistered Sidewall Cracks aren't the only issue you should look out for when inspecting your tires. Blisters and bulges can also appear, creating a weak spot on your tire. These can blow out easily, and it could happen at any time. If the tire blows out, then you'll be in serious danger, so never ignore a bulge or blister on the sidewall. 5. Visible Tread Wear Indicator Modern tires have tread wear indicators that let you know when your tread has worn down too much. The indicators are flat rubber bars that are easily visible, and they run perpendicular to the tread. If at least two of these bars become visible, then you'll need to visit the dealer for a fresh set of tires. 6. Old Tires Most tires are at their best for 60,000 miles or around 3 to 5 years. However, if you don't drive very much, then it may take you significantly longer to drive 60,000 miles. Never leave tires on your car for more than 10 years, even if you haven't driven 60,000 miles yet. Have you noticed any of the signs we talked about above? Come and get your tires replaced at Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ran in Redford, MI.
