Technology Abounds in the 2017 Mirage G4

Today’s busy consumer is consistently looking for new and innovative ways to safely and efficiently utilize technology on the go. The 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 does not disappoint with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto included in its streamlined infotainment system as well as Smartphone-integration technology. The key features of this system include:

·      Access to Apple Music

·      Apple Maps

·      Standard phone calling procedures

·      Hands free dialing

·      Ability to send touch screen messages

·      Ability to send messages using Siri

·      Integration with Google applications including

o   Google Play Music

o   Google Maps

o   Google Hangouts

Adding ease and functionality to your driving experience, the Apple CarPlay and Andriod Auto have a few benefits that will soon become less of a convenience feature and more an expected part of your daily driving experience.

1.     Predictive feature – both Apple and Google have designed their systems to know what you mean or want before you're even done inputting it. This is a great feature on a Smartphone, but a must have in an automobile

2.     Consistent look and feel – Each of these systems is designed to operate much the same way as their internet cousins making the user experience easier and the learning curve smaller.

3.     Up-to-date technology – because the systems are designed by the Apple and Google powerhouses, they are more up-to-date than traditional automobile technologies.

The 6.5 inch touch screen display simplifies your driving experience giving you access to standard apps including Bluetooth® hands free calling. Additionally, the back-up camera gives the driver a clear wide-angle view of any hazards behind the vehicle helping them easily maneuver into tight spaces and back out of parking spots safely and efficiently. What this adds up to is a driver friendly experience. Each detail is designed with safety and convenience in mind, providing quick access to the connectivity features that drivers expect, all at the touch of the screen.

Keep Your Car Running Smoothly This Summer

Summer is heating up and now is the perfect time to make sure your vehicle is running in tip-top shape.  While scorching temperatures can be tough on any car, there are plenty of steps you can take now to make sure your vehicle runs safe and smooth for the next few months.  If you’re planning a summer road trip or vacation up north, follow these tips before you hit the road!

Regular Maintenance

What’s the easiest way to prevent your car from breaking down this summer?  Regular maintenance service including tune-ups, oil changes, AC maintenance, battery checks and tire rotations.  Preventative maintenance may seem like a nuisance now, but these small steps will lead to a worry-free summer!

Cooling System

One of the most common causes for summer breakdowns is overheating. Many factors can cause a car to overheat, but it often is related to an ineffective cooling system. As the cooling system has to work harder in summer months to maintain proper engine temperature, make sure you’re up to date on routine cooling system maintenance. Belts and hoses should be inspected for any leaks or holes. Coolant should be flushed and refilled once every two years, and the level of fluid checked periodically during the summer months.  

Emergency Supplies

Just in case you get stranded in the heat, always be prepared. Carry bottled water, a first aid kit, a car cell phone charger, and know who to contact in case of a roadside emergency. Other emergency supplies that can be useful in summer heat, especially on long trips, include a flashlight, road flares, wide-brimmed hats, tire sealant, energy snacks, and a portable car battery charger or jumper cables.

Most importantly, have fun this summer! If you’re preparing for an upcoming road trip and need a car you can count on, stop into Expressway Mitsubishi.

History of Mitsubishi Motor Company

Mitsubishi is a multinational automotive manufacturer with headquarters in Tokyo, Japan.  For nearly a century, Mitsubishi has been producing quality vehicles for those looking to drive something unique, reliable and stylish.  Mitsubishi manufactures and distributes a wide range of vehicles including sedans, crossover utility vehicles and electric cars to dealers throughout the US.  Expressway Mitsubishi is proud to carry this quality brand and selection of versatile vehicles.  Keep reading to learn more about the long and interesting history of Mitsubishi!

The Mitsubishi Company was originally established as a shipping firm by Yataro Iwasaki in 1870.  Over the next several years, they expanded their business into various fields including paper, steel, glass, electrical equipment, aircrafts and more.  Mitsubishi’s automotive origins date back to 1917 when Mitsubishi Model A was first put in production.  The Mitsubishi Model A was discontinued after only 22 models were built due to the war.  Immediately following the end of WWII, the company returned to manufacturing vehicles.  After the war, allied occupation forces demanded that Japan’s big industrial groups be disbanded and Mitsubishi Headquarters was split into smaller enterprises.

When the Mitsubishi organization was disbanded in 1946, most of the small Mitsubishi companies abandoned the name.  In 1952, the San Francisco Peace Treaty was set in place and Japan was welcome back into the international community.  Two years later, Mitsubishi companies that had abandoned the name merged to reestablish the growing company.

In the 1960s, Japan’s economy was gearing up and the car industry was taking off.  Mitsubishi was a big part of the growing automotive industry and was producing over 75,000 vehicles annually in the late 60’s.  On April 22nd, 1970, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation was formed as a single operation focused on the automotive industry.  

Mitsubishi Motors had a strategy to increase exports by forging alliances with well-established companies like Chrysler.  It is because of this relationship that they were able to begin selling the Galant in the United States under the name of Dodge Colt.  In 1982, the Mitsubishi brand was introduced to the American market for the first time with the Tredia sedan, Cordia and Starion coupes.  As of 2007, Mitsubishi has over 200 bases of operations in approximately 80 countries worldwide and has reached 1.3 million cars of total production.
