Chevrolet Active Phone Cooling Keeps Your Smartphone from Overheating

OKEMOS, Mich.– Do you ever have issues with your smartphone overheating? New Chevrolet Active Phone Cooling keeps your smartphone from overheating while you drive.

The new feature that will be available in the 2016 Impala, Volt and Cruze was discovered during testing of a smartphone wireless charging feature, which will also be available in 2016. Engineers discovered smartphones ceased charging or shut off when under extreme heat, especially after just a few minutes inside the car’s cabin where temperatures can rapidly increase on warm or hot days.

Most smartphones are designed with thermal protection features to protect battery life by shutting them down until they cool down, but Chevy engineers realized how inconvenient this could be for drivers. As usual, they put their innovative thinking caps on and decided Chevy drivers like yourself would find it beneficial to have smartphone cooling technology in your vehicle.

Chevrolet Active Phone Cooling keeps your smartphone from overheating by way of an air vent attached to your vehicle’s air conditioning and ventilation system. It directs cool air to the wireless charging bin where your smartphone sits, and only works when you turn on your HVAC system.

Chevy expects this Active Phone Cooling will work well with the other smartphone features they’ve been spending a great deal of time developing, such as accessing features and apps through the MyLink radio.

Considering how attached you are to your smartphone these days– don’t worry, we all are– it might do you some good to own a vehicle that helps you keep your device in tact and at a level of accessibility that you can’t afford to be without. In that case, we think it’s a smart idea for people to take a deeper look into the New Chevy Cars and New Chevy Trucks that are coming out.

Chevy Cruze Hits 3.5 Million Sales

OKEMOS, Mich.– You know things are going well for Chevrolet when the Chevy Cruze hits 3.5 million sales. The monumental number of sales speaks to the automaker’s ability to charm customers with reliable vehicles like the top-seller Cruze. Sold in 115 countries, the Cruze is a global favorite these days with its top markets being China, the United States, Brazil and Canada. Specifically in the United States, the Cruze has been a major boom to Chevrolet.

In 2014, Cruze sales in the United States increased from 2013 by 10 percent to 273,060, and the Cruze proved to be the second-best seller in the country to customers under 25. However, the largest positive impact felt from Cruze sales was the 35 percent increase in new Chevrolet customers. It also turns out 56 percent of customers who trade in their Cruze end up purchasing another Chevrolet, and 23 percent trade in for a new Cruze.

When the Chevy Cruze hits 3.5 millions sales, it makes sense that Chevrolet would want to continue their path of success with future generations of the vehicle. This groundbreaking news on sales comes just in time to welcome the 2016 Cruze on June 24.

The 2016 Cruze is expected to set an even higher benchmark than its predecessor, and will include a slew of improved features. For one, the 2016 Cruze will be larger but lighter than the current model, and will house 25 new technologies– including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay­– making it one heck of an intricate modern vehicle sure to keep sales on the up for Chevy. At the end of the day, it’s clear why the Cruze did so well in 2014 alongside a strong lineup of reliable New Chevy Vehicles and Used Chevy Vehicles like those found at our Chevy Dealership.
