Who's ready for snow? ❄️ Video shot by @mboakville. _______________________ Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC - Fuel consumption combined 8.7-8.3 l/100 km | CO2 consumption 199-189 g/km . #MercedesBenz #MercedesAMG #GLC #GLC434MATIC #mbfanphoto #4MATIC #letitsnow❄️ #wintertime #mbcar A post shared by Mercedes-Benz (@mercedesbenz) on Dec 20, 2017 at 5:36am PST The Mercedes-Benz brand has been setting the bar for safety features, technology, and testing since the mid-1900s. They don't just believe in making beautiful models; they want to make sure their lineup includes safe cars, SUVs, and crossovers that look great and keep you and your passengers secure by avoiding accidents all together or protecting you in the case of one with solid engineering. That's why here at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington we're excited- though not shocked- that another 2018 model has earned an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award! Bringing home a win this year is the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC in the midsize luxury SUV category. When a vehicle goes to the IIHS testing center it's put through six stringent trials on crash worthiness: Small overlap front: driver-side Small overlap front: passenger-size (new for 2018) Moderate overlap front Side Roof strength Head restraints & seats From best to worst, tests in this category are scored as such: Good, Acceptable, Marginal, and Poor. In the crash avoidance and mitigation section, equipped vehicles are tested on their Front crash prevention technology. The tech earns a score of either Advanced or Superior. Also reviewed are headlights and they earn the Good through Poor rating. The Mercedes-Benz GLC scored top 'Good' ratings on all the crash worthiness tests. For Crash Avoidance and Mitigation the Front crash prevention technology earned 'Superior' marks and the trim that has LED lights earned 'Good'. In case you were wondering what is standard for crash avoidance technology on the SUV, we're proud to say that it has Collision Prevention Assist Plus and ATTENTION ASSIST™. If an accident does occur, the standard PRE-SAFE® tightens the seatbelt, closes the windows, and does whatever it can to best protect the occupants! If safety is just as important as luxury, then the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC is not going to disappoint. Visit our dealership, located in Huntington, NY to see our selection and go on a test drive.

The winter season arriving brings many things. The holidays are right around the corner, some snowy cozy days at home, and the chance to deck out in winter gear all come with the winter season. However, you should keep in mind that your vehicle is primarily outside and has to deal with all types of weather, such as rain, sleet, snow, and ice. While vehicles such as Mercedes-Benz’s are built with the highest quality and are always ready to take on the road ahead of them, there are still some precautions you should take to keep your vehicle in the best condition it can be! Luckily, our Service Department at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington is always available to help with whatever maintenance or repairs you should need. Here are some things to look out for and keep an eye on with your vehicle this winter. Battery More often than not, the primary cause for a car not starting is due to a dead battery. Many times, this issue sneaks up on people when they are not prepared at all. It’s not very fun to be stuck out in the cold when your car won’t start due to a dead battery! A great way to prevent this is to get your battery tested and inspected in the beginning of the winter, to make sure it is the strongest it can be! It’s usually more difficult for a battery to operate in colder weather rather than warmer weather, therefore it is highly recommended to get your battery tested for the winter. If you come to Mercedes-Benz of Huntington’s Service Department to get your vehicle’s battery tested, it will be inspected and tested by a Mercedes-Benz Certified Technician. Our Service Consultants can then report back to you the status of your battery, and if needed have the battery replaced. Tire Pressure More often than not, when the weather goes from warmer to colder, or vice versa, your tire pressure may need to be adjusted. Tire pressure can often decrease when the air temperature gets lower. With every 10-degree drop in temperature, your tires could lose as much as one pound per square inch, also known as your tire’s PSI. If your tire pressure light happens to come on, stop in to our Service Drive here at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington! One of our service drive attendants will be more than happy to inspect and adjust your tire pressure for you right in our service drive, free of charge! Tires Having your tires in good shape is very important for having added traction in winter weather conditions. A worn set of tires can lessen the grip you have on the road, especially in ice and snow. Winter and all-weather tires are available for purchase and installation at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington’s Service Department. Also, if you wish to have your tires checked for wear, you can drive into our service drive and drive through our TreadSpec Tread Depth Indicator, which will print out a report indicating your tire tread depth, as well as any indications of tire alignment issues. Washer Fluid The winter can get things messy sometimes! Picture this: you’re driving on the icy and snowy highway in the middle of winter, and you’re windshield gets covered in slush and salt residue from the roads. You go to use your windshield washers only to find out you are completely empty! It’s no fun to drive with a windshield covered in winter debris. Keeping your windshield washer fluid filled prevents situations like this from happening. Luckily, you can pull into the service drive in Mercedes-Benz of Huntington’s Service Department, and a service drive attendant can refill your washer fluid free of charge! Coolant Coolant is extremely important to your vehicle during the winter months, since it prevents the engine from freezing. Therefore, it’s important to make sure you have enough coolant in your car always, especially during the winter. If your coolant light turns on in your Mercedes-Benz, you can bring it to our Service Department to have it refilled and checked for any cracks or leaks. Lighting With the days getting darker sooner, that means you have to turn on your lights on your car earlier in the day as well. For many people, the sun sets on their commute home from work. It is important to be seen on the road, as well as being able to see the best you can on the road ahead of you. Be sure to inspect all your lights to make sure you do not have any that are out or malfunctioning! At Mercedes-Benz of Huntington, we offer bulb replacement installations, as well as various lighting repairs through our Service Department. If you prefer to change lightbulbs yourself, we also have lightbulbs for all different Mercedes-Benz models available for purchase through our Parts Department.Come visit Mercedes-Benz of Huntington’s Service Department today, or give us a call at 855-777-9693 for all of your winter service needs!
