Car Seat Do’s Just For You! | Gaithersburg, MD
It’s no question that all parents understand the importance of a car seat. But as car seats become more and more advanced the harder they are to understand, which leads to improper installations and other potentially harmful mistakes. This week we want to make sure that your little bundles of joys are safely secured in their seats to help give you the peace of mind you need to get from point A to point B! So this week are focusing on the DOs when dealing with a car seat. So take a look at our tips below and if you have any questions we will do our best to help answer them. And when installing or turning your child to front-facing, be sure to check out your seat’s instructions and your vehicle’s owners manual to see what they suggest.
King Volkswagen’s Car Seat Do’s:
- Make sure the harness-retainer clip is level with your child’s armpits. If they are in the wrong place, the straps could end up sliding off.
- Take your car-seat to a local inspection site so a professional can ensure the installation is correct.
- Choose a car-seat with a five-point harness.
- If you have a forward-facing seat, place the harness straps on your child’s shoulders to ensure the most protection in the event of a collision.
- If your child has outgrown a car-seat, try using a high-back booster seat. Studies have shown these are safer than backless ones in the event of side-impact collisions.
- Tighten the harness straps so they are tight enough for you to only fit one finger underneath.
- Safety-belts should be tightened enough so the seat is only able to wiggle less than one inch from side to side.

The next-generation of ID.3 has been announced! This all-electric best selling Volkswagen model is set to hit the market with an electrifying upgrade two and a half years after the launch of the first generation. This compact electric coupe really turns heads with a fresh and sharpened exterior design, optimised air-cooling openings, and large painted surfaces to make the front appear confident and colorful. The interior of the new ID.3 combines modern design with sustainable materials and uses the microfibre material Artvelours Eco for the door trims and seat covers, a fabric that contains 71 per cent recyclate. This is a secondary raw material that is obtained by recycling plastic that has previously been disposed of as waste at least once. And with more modern design elements, this model also boasts the latest in comfort and infotainment technology! The compact driver display with a screen diagonal of 5.3 inches is operated on the multifunction steering wheel. The middle console accommodates the now standard 12 inch touch display for the navigation, media, assist systems, and vehicle settings.

Spring is right around the corner and it’s never too early to get started on your spring cleaning checklists! One of the most overlooked tasks by a car owner is remembering to top off your fluid levels! Your vehicle’s fluids all have a level that they should remain at and when they fall below that level, a whole myriad of issues can occur. If you don’t even know what fluid levels you should be checking, then this week’s blog is perfect for you! Below you will see that we have listed out all of the fluid levels you should be keeping an eye on! Topping off your fluid levels is a fairly easy task, and should only take you a few minutes to complete. However, if you’re not a DIY person, just schedule a service appointment at King Volkswagen and let our team get your ride back in tip-top shape!
King Volkswagen’s Car Fluid Level Guide:
Engine Oil:
- Your engine needs oil in order to keep moving parts lubricated and working properly. To check your oil, make sure your engine is cool before popping open the hood. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it on a clean rag, reinsert the stick all the way back into the tank. Pull out the stick and see where the oil line hits, there will be a notch that indicates what a safe oil level is. If your oil hits below the notch, check for the specific type of oil and add some yourself.
Transmission Fluid:
- Transmission fluid is important because it keeps your transmission lubricated and will save you from expensive repairs. The second dipstick in your engine is for this fluid. Like we did to check the engine’s oil, you will have to remove the dipstick, wipe it off, and reinsert it back into the tank. Pull it back out and examine where the fluid hits on the stick, it’s also a good idea to check the quality of your fluids. Wipe a small amount onto your fingers, if the fluid has a pink or clear look to it, it is fine. If the fluid smells burnt or has particles in it, it is time to swap it out.
Brake Fluid:
- From a safety standpoint, this is one of the most important fluids. Brake fluid basically keeps you from running into other cars and objects. You’ll find the brake fluid reservoir toward the back under your hood, be sure to clean off the outside of the compartment so any dirt or dust doesn’t enter the reservoir. Open up the cap and look inside to see where the fluid level is. It should be about a half-inch from the cap. If it is lower than that, check your owner’s manual for what fluid you should use. Also, if the fluid has a dark tint to it, bring your vehicle into our service department for a change of fluids.
Power Steering Fluid:
- It’s important to have control over your car and this fluid keeps the right parts lubricated to ensure a safe driving experience. This reservoir is typically found under the hood, on the passenger side with a cap that will likely say “steering” on it. Many cars have a light colored reservoir so you can see the level of fluid without removing the cap. If your car has a dark reservoir, clean off the cap before opening to avoid dirt particles from entering the system. Open up the cap and use the dipstick the same way as we did before, if the fluid is low, you can easily add more. Also, if your fluid level is low check for a leak in the system.
Windshield Washer Fluid:
- One important part of driving is being able to see out the windshield, this fluid is key to ensure that happens. Most vehicles have a clear washer fluid tank that will be labeled either “washer” or “windshield.” If you need to add more, simply pop the cap off and pour into the tank. Do not use soap and water if you are completely empty!! But, the window cleaner that you use at home can work until you fill up with the real stuff.
