We drive on the daily and many of us get into accidents. When an accident occurs, the vehicles Supplemental Restraint System is meant to keep us safe. However, it can only do its job if it is in good working condition. When it comes to car safety there are two things most people think of: airbags and seat belts. Seat belts work consistently to protect you, while airbags are deployed only when absolutely necessary. If the force of an accident is strong enough, the airbag module determines that the airbags need to deploy. This helps minimize the damage an individual...

Once your Jeep has been in a collision or other accident, it is important to check both the external components of your vehicle as well as the internal for any damage.

It consists of the seatbelts, airbags, SRS indicator light and impact sensors. The seatbelts are the most important aspect of the system, working together with the remaining components to protect the individual. After an accident, you may be...

The vehicles cluster has the job of displaying the tachometer gauge, odometer gauge, gas/fuel, gauge, temperature gauge, as well as transmission gauge. A speedometer indicates how fast the vehicle is traveling at any given moment and the odometer tells us how far the vehicle has traveled. Together, they help determine if any services are needed, and to help keep you driving safely on the road.

The driver is always looking at the vehicle's cluster for information. It tells us how fast we are going, running out of gas, and even telling us things like the temperature. The speedometer tells the driver how fast they are driving, and the odometer tells them how far they have gone up to that point. Together, they help determine if any services are needed, like getting the oil changed.   There are times when issues may arise with the vehicle cluster. This includes the speedometer or tachometer gauge getting stuck or not working correctly. The oil gauge may also stop...

Using a seat belt is a habit we all have when driving or riding in a car. It is almost like second nature for us now since it has been drilled into our minds since we first started learning how to drive to always use one. You would even fail a driving test if you didn’t use one. Did you know that beforehand, not everyone wore seatbelts, in fact, it was completely voluntary. It later became a law once the importance of seat belt use was more understood. Currently, all states, except for New Hampshire require everyone who is inside...
