An infotainment system is a vehicle's interactive source of information and entertainment. The word first appeared in 1980 when scientists in the UK broke the monotony of professional conferences with intermittent comedy skits. Today, infotainment systems are widespread, user friendly, convenient and among our Hendrick MINI team's favorite tech features.
The tires on your car are designed to hold up under great pressures and stresses, but they can only do so when properly mounted and inflated. The good news is, most tires include detailed visual markings on their sidewalls that give you important information. Many such tires have at least eight different symbols, and these represent various dimensions and capacities.
Examples are the letter "P", "W", and "R". In this example, the "R" would denote tire construction style, the "W" would be speed rating, and the "P" would stand for vehicle style which is a passenger car in this case…
Even if you are shaken up after an accident, you need to take certain steps to get help to the scene and to document it appropriately. Here at Hendrick MINI, we want you to be safe out on the road. That's why we offer these steps to take after you are in a car accident.

Driver safety is a top priority at Hendrick MINI, and we want you to know the different ways to react to the sun's glare. If you can, it may be a good idea to drive after the sun has fully risen or after it has fully set.
This is because glare is at its worst during the early morning and late evening hours. Glare can also be difficult if you are driving east to west as that is the path that the sun takes as it rises and sets. However, you can reduce the harmful effects of the sun…
All of us at Hendrick MINI encourage you to give police and other first responders extra room when you see them stopped in the breakdown lane for any reason. In fact, it's the law. We will explain.
Every state in America has a Move Over Law. South Carolina created the first one in 1996. Each state's Move Over Law is unique, but they all place the same general expectation on you. When you approach police officers, other public employees and motorists who are stopped on a highway, you must move over one lane.
Android Auto is the latest in-vehicle technology to take over your infotainment center. Android Auto makes it possible to manage calls, send messages and use all of your favorite apps with fewer distractions. Hendrick MINI wants you to get the most out of your vehicle, so we're going to tell you everything you need to know about Android Auto.
Infotainment centers were designed to make driving more enjoyable while reducing distractions. Android Auto takes that principle one step further by mirroring the apps on your phone or tablet to your infotainment center.
There are a lot of different aspects of the infotainment system that come with many of the newest vehicles. We at Hendrick MINI are always interested in the types of features that allow people to connect and get information that is needed for their journey as well as enjoy some entertainment.
Among the important information aspects of the infotainment system of many vehicles is the ability to help you with your navigation. You just have to enter information on what you are looking for and then it will display the needed information for you.
