The snow is falling and we want to make sure all of our beloved customers stay safe on the road ahead. We know living in the tri-state area means you’re no stranger to the snow. However, that doesn’t mean that we all like driving in the snow, or even good at doing so. So, in order to help keep everyone safe, we have a couple of tips and tricks for driving in the snow. Now we want to emphasize the importance of safe driving, and urge all customers to stay off the road if possible. However, we understand that in some cases it is inevitable that you’ll have to drive in the snow. So take a peek below for a refresher on how to navigate the snow carefully! And if you want to shop for a new Mercedes-Benz, we invite you to shop online now at https://www.mercedesbenzofdanbury.com/, and schedule a test drive when the storm clears up!

Tips For Driving In The Snow:

• Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Applying the gas slowly to accelerate is the best method for gaining traction and avoiding skids.
• Drive slowly. Everything takes longer on snow-covered roads. Accelerating, stopping, turning – nothing happens as quickly as on dry pavement. Give yourself time to maneuver by driving slowly.
• The normal dry pavement following distance of three to four seconds should be increased to eight to ten seconds
• Know your brakes. Whether you have antilock brakes or not, the best way to stop is threshold braking.
• Don’t stop if you can avoid it.
• Don’t stop going up a hill. There’s nothing worse than trying to get moving up a hill on an icy road.
• Make it know what kind of driving assistance you have (AAA, Roadside Assistance, etc.)

Hello, 2021! As we get back into the flow of normal life after the holiday season, it’s also important to set resolutions for ourselves in the new year. A simple resolution for you to follow is staying more organized, which is important as a car driver. I know, you’re probably thinking ‘how does staying organized help you be a better driver?’ Well, many of us can relate when I say my car is my closet on wheels. We spend a lot of time behind the wheel, and our stuff tends to as well. It’s important to get your vehicle organized, not only to declutter your car for space and passengers but safety too! So, take a peek below and see how in just 4 easy steps you can get your Mercedes-Benz organized and ready for whatever 2021 has in store! And if you need help with any winter service or repairs, be sure to schedule your service appointment, now at Mercedes-Benz of Danbury!

Step 1: Sort and clean

• Take everything out of the car, including car seats, music, and miscellaneous items stored in the glove box and door pockets. 
• Don’t forget the trunk and cargo area!
• Organize the rest of the items into three piles: stuff you use all the time, things you use occasionally, and items you might need in an emergency. Whatever doesn’t fall into these categories should be stored in your home or garage.

Step 2: Analyze 

• Ask yourself, “How do I use my car?”
• Are you the taxi driver? Maybe you’re a parent with two toddlers in car seats or a salesman who travels with a trunkload of samples. Whatever it is, figure it out.

Step 3: Prioritize

• Depending upon your needs, go through your three piles and prioritize the most important items in each group
• And just like seasonal clothes in a closet, many items such as ice scrapers and emergency kits should be stored back in your vehicle 

Step 4: Contain your needs

• Loose objects in the car lead to disorganization and mess. In the event of a sudden stop or a crash, they can also damage your car or, worse, injure your occupants. Get yourself a good organizer to keep all of your items concise and easy to access.

The Penny Test 

• The idea of the penny test is to check whether you’ve hit the 2/32” threshold
• Place a penny between the tread ribs on your tire.
• Turn the penny so that Lincoln’s head points down into the tread.
• See if the top of his head disappears between the ribs. If it does, your tread is still above 2/32”
• If you can see his entire head, it may be time to replace the tire because your tread is no longer deep enough.

Helpful Numbers To Remember:

4/32” or deeper = Good depth

3/32” = Replace tires soon

2/32” or less = Replace tires now

• Once dinner is served, set the camera up to the table and feast with your family and friends. Feel free to share recipes or even watch the big game together. 

TV & Games With Household Members

Black Friday Online Shopping

Other Ideas

• Participate in a gratitude activity, like writing down things you are grateful for and sharing with your friends and family.
• Clean out your basement of gently used or new toys, clothes, etc and donate them this holiday season 
• Look up family-friendly Thanksgiving crafts 
• Have a bake-off! Have the kids help bake or see who can come up with the best dessert for Thanksgiving.
