The DO’s and DONT’s of Cruise Control!

All about Cruise Control!

enter image description here

Even though cruise control has been around a long time, there have been several advances in the last few years increasing driver comfort and convenience. The primary purpose of cruise control is to enable you to maintain a minimum speed of 25 mph or greater without holding down the accelerator.

When to NOT use your cruise control:
Cruise control can be dangerous when you CANNOT drive safely at a steady speed. Also, DO NOT use your cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic. Cruise control is also very dangerous on slippery/wet roads. On such roads, fast changes in the traction may cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose control!!

HOW TO:
(ON/OFF): Press this button to turn the cruise control on and off.
(Res +): (Resume/Accelerate) Press this button to make the vehicle accelerate or resume a previously set speed. This button can be pressed to increase your set speed. Each time you press it, the vehicle should accelerate by 1 mph. When passing another vehicle, you can quickly accelerate by pressing the gas pedal. When you let off the pedal, your vehicle will slow back to the set speed.
(Set -): (Set/Coast) Press this button to set the speed or decrease the set speed. Each time you press this button, your speed will decrease by 1 mph.
(Cancel): Press this button to cancel the cruise control.
If you leave your cruise control on when you are not using it, you might accidentally hit a button and go into cruise mode when you do not want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control turned off until you want to use it!

Keep Those Buns Comfortable!

I mean, if there is one thing worse than a long trip, it’s a long trip with an uncomfortable seat! I am sure at some point or another you know exactly what I’m talking about! You wiggle and wiggle only to get semi comfortable but ten minutes later you realize you are never going to get comfortable. It hits you. The seats are too hot or maybe they are too cold. They itch. Too stiff. It’s crazy, the list just keeps going and going and going. Like the energizer bunny. Annoying, right? Well, Jeep has found the solution! They have realized that customers, myself included (because I absolutely hate long trips with comfortable seating), need quality seats. In the new 2014 models, Jeep has equipped these majestical stallions with Natura Leather!

 The newly available premium-quality Natura Plus leather is soft and supple and has outstanding breathability that makes the leather more comfortable in both hot and cold weather! Did I mention that its stain resistant, so those rascally kids won’t be a problem any longer.  Plus, this “lazy boy” of a seat can be heated and cooled, so even if you get hot or cold you can fixed it with the push of a button! Genius! You should really do yourself, I mean, butt, a favor and check it out! Woody’s Automotive Group has some! Just sayin’

Fun in the Sun! Cherokee Style!

Hey all you Jeep fans! It’s that time again. Time to talk about the sweet world of Jeeps. You know, the one where life is enjoyable on the road, but mostly off the road! The new redesigned and extremely rewelcomed 2014 Jeep Cherokee blew me away! I must say, I was not expecting it. I mean when I heard that Jeep was bring back the Cherokee, I thought to myself, ” O great, here we go again. They are gonna bring back yet another boxy SUV with the same technology, same safety features, same everything and ask the same price. Boring.” Boy was I wrong.

 When I first sat in this rugged, yet refined SUV, I was pleasently surprised! 8.4″ touchscreen, check. 4X4, check. Leather heated seats and steering, check. Panoramic sunroof, check. Then I really started to explore. 4 iPod ports. Who even needs that many?! A wireless charging pad, genious!  Literally, because I have filled all 4 of those iPod ports and was in a pickle when my phone died. Problem fixed! Dashboard storage was so handy as well as the inside passenger seat storage!  Lets talk exterior and engine for a sec! 9 speed automatic transmission offers an impressive 31 hwy mpg! The amazing Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist makes my life so much easier, because lets face it, I suck at parking. So thank you Jeep for that. I don’t know about you but rock crawling sounds found and the Cherokee can come equipped with Jeep Active Drive II, perfect for that exact experience! So, I for one am very impressed with the new 2014 Jeep Cherokee and would definitely recommend this SUV to anyone in search of a new midsized Sports Utility Vehicle to go play in this summer! Stop by Woodys Automotive Group and check some out!

The fuel economy in the gasoline V6 runs around 20 mpg, not the best. The powerful V8, around 16 mpg combined, even worse! Ecodiesel you ask? Up to 30 hwy mpg!! That is pretty incredible for an SUV, I’m just sayin’. Mpg is not the only perk. Yes, there are more! Let’s say you want to go camping. Like most people, you may want to take a camper.

This makes the Jeep Grand Cherokee the Filet Mignon of SUVs! Check it out! You won’t be disappointed! Woody’s Automotive Group will get one!

Jeep: The SUV of the Decade!

If you are into SUV’s, young or old, the top brands that come to mind are probably: Lexus, Acura, BMW and Jeep! I prefer the Jeep. Jeep, unlike many other brands has adapted its product to serve the many rather than the few! From the Laredo, which can be compared to the Explorer or Toyota’s 4Runner, to the Overland, poor mans Audi or BMW, to finish with the Summit, the rich mans Porsche! The Renegade, coming soon from Jeep, will be pulling all the younger generations out of Kia’s Soul (in my opinion) and back on bored with the SUV powerhouse. Lets focus on the Overland for now though! The SUV that would be perfect to power through the wilderness or show up to a black-tie event in, the one SUV made for everyone! From the cubicle employee at an insurance company to the pent house rentee! Overland, while luxurious as it is, still offers that same Jeep feel and confidence. From the unmistakeable grill, square wheel wells, and tough look, the Overland will fulfill your SUV fantasies completely! Loaded with a mesmorizing panoramic sunroof, unconventional sound system, nappa leather seats, a sweet off-road package and some hidden safety features, you will think you are driving an Audi after all!

“Jeep’s off-road capability is the factor that levels us with pricer brands,” says Jim Morrison, director of Jeep product. “We have crossover BMW customers who come back to us when they realize what they have given up in off-road capability.”

So if you feel like saving at least 10k, which if you are like me you do because that buys a lot of steaks, then check out the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland or at least the Grand Cherokee! See some here! Then go buy some steaks!

The Woody’s Concept Store is the only known used car location of its type. Woody’s automotive Group regularly stocks all makes from exotic to economy based automobiles. The “concept” is to utilize technology, a vast inventory from exotic to economy based automobiles, a zero games/hassle approach and a zero pressure environment to assist people in finding the car they want at a payment that fits their monthly budget. To that end Woody’s has remodeled its new location, installing plenty of technology, lighting, sound and video screens to get the job done and has brought its very successful, no hassle, sales system to Kansas City. If a couple wants to spend the day together but one of them doesn’t enjoy shopping, that person may enjoy looking at some really cool cars while waiting for the other. Woody’s will also simply purchase a customer’s car. Woody’s Automotive Group is an affiliate company with Kline Corporation, Kline Van and Specialty Rental. Together these companies conduct business in the continuous 48 states and have office locations in Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and California with planned expansions to Maine and Arizona. Woody’s emphasizes a “no games approach” with the same low price posted on the vehicle/internet in their advertising and in the dealership. Woody’s prices are independent third party verified to be among the lowest in the nation with NO hidden tacked on fees. “We don’t raise the prices on ours in order to fool you by showing a higher value on yours” stated CEO, Brent Kline. “My father along with Grandpa Woody taught us how to do business by keeping things fun, simple, friendly and inexpensive” Kline further stated. The sales advisors are paid on a salary, to advise and assist the customer into doing what is best for the customer.” Woody’s picked the Legends Outlet Mall due to its great management, stores and attractions. “The mall…like our dealership… attracts people from a huge region.” “The mall has great stores and restaurants, is well run and has attractions such as Nebraska Furniture Mart, Cabelas, Kansas Speedway, T-Bones baseball, and the MLS Champion Sporting Kansas City soccer team” said Kline. “Furthermore, I believe these customers will travel to our regional location in Chillicothe, MO once they understand how we do business…how different we are from the typical dealer and that we have over 1000 cars available in the Kansas City region alone…not to mention the thousands more available outside of our region” Kline further stated. Kline went on to say “People drive further to eat at a good restaurant and an automobile is the second largest purchase customers make.” “There are good reasons people are willing to drive to and wait for a table at a good restaurant and that is a pleasant vs. an unpleasant experience…only with a car the steaks are higher (pun intended).” “With our no hassle approach and our huge selection, Woody’s is certainly worth the drive” stated Kline. Kline is a third generation car dealer joining his grandfather Woodrow (Woody) Wilson Kline and Woodrow (Fritz) Kline. The original dealership began in 1947 selling the brand of Kaiser Frazier.
