Chrysler is bringing a 1,015 sq.-ft. garage to the Chicago Auto Show. Inside the display, show-goers will find several Moparized vehicles, shelves of custom Mopar parts and accessories, and Mopar’s new line of standard and commercial-grade custom cabinetry and toolboxes designed to give your garage that Mopar look.

“Customization is king,” said Pietro Gorlier, president and CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group LLC’s service, parts and customer-care brand. “At Mopar, we offer more than 500,000 quality-tested parts and accessories throughout the world. In Chicago, we want to give show-goers an idea of how they can personalize and accessorize some of our new vehicles and furnish their garage in full Mopar style.”

To get your customizing juices flowing, a slew of Moparized vehicles will be featured in the garage, including one of each of the following: 2013 SRT Viper, Dodge Dart, Fiat 500, Jeep Wrangler, Ram truck and Chrysler Town & Country.

In addition to these vehicles, parts, accessories and “Moparabilia,” both NHRA 2012 championship trophies won by Pro Stock driver Allen Johnson and Funny Car racer Jack Beckman will be highlighted in the display.

Car Seat Safety Tips

Use a rear-facing car seat for babies under 2:

• For the best possible protection, keep your baby in a rear-facing child safety seat in a back seat for as long as possible—up to the height or weight limit of the particular seat. Recent recommendations (March 2011) by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) urge parents to keep their babies rear-facing up to the second birthday. The old rule "12-months-and-20-pounds" that many parents cite when turning their child forward in the car is actually the minimum size and age requirement.

• Keep babies rear-facing in a convertible seat until they reach age 2 and the maximum height or weight allowed by the manufacturer. For many children that will be 30, 35 or even 40 pounds. Rear-facing occupants are safest.

When using an infant or convertible seat:

• Use your baby’s car seat rear-facing and semi-reclined no more than 45 degrees, so the baby’s head stays in contact with the seat and the baby’s airway stays open. Read the car seat instructions.

• Make sure the buckled harness straps that keep your baby properly positioned and secured in the car seat fit snuggly. Loose harness straps don’t provide maximum protection. Be sure the harness is tight, so you cannot pinch extra webbing at the shoulder.

• Position the shoulder straps through the slots at or below your rear-facing baby’s shoulders.

• Adjust the chest clip to armpit level.

• Use either the car’s seat belt or LATCH system to lock the car seat into the car. Do not use both systems at the same time.

• Your car seat should not move more than one inch side to side or front to back. Grab the car seat at the safety belt path or LATCH path to test it.

• All car seats have an expiration date. Generally, it is six years, but contact the manufacturer of the seat to find out what the expiration date is for your specific seat.

• Never buy a used car seat if you do not know its full history and never use a car seat that has been in a crash.

• Do not use any products in the car seat that did not come from the manufacturer. Car seat fabrics meet strict fire safety codes. Add-on toys can injure your child in a crash.

• Find where the frontal airbags are in your vehicle by checking the owner’s manual. Never put a rear-facing car seat in front of an active airbag. Children are always safest in a back seat.

• Have your car seat checked by a currently certified child passenger safety technician to make sure it is properly installed.

• Never leave children alone in a car.

Take the next step to a forward-facing car seat when your child is 2 and has outgrown the height or weight limit of his or her rear-facing convertible car seat and you answer “yes” to either question:

• Does your child exceed the car seat’s rear-facing height or weight limits?

• Is your child’s head within one inch of the car seat top?

Tips on properly installing & using forward-facing car seats:

• Use a forward-facing car seat correctly and until the harness no longer fits (convertible or combo seat) in a back seat every time your toddler rides in a car. Many harnesses today serve kids to 50, 60, 80 or even 100 pounds.

• Use the right car seat with a harness for your toddler’s weight and height. Toddlers are weighed and measured at every doctor visit, so be sure to keep track.

• Put harnesses through the slots so they are even with or above the forward-facing child’s shoulders. Some seats require use of the top slots when the seat is forward-facing, so check instructions.

• Be sure the buckled harness is tight, so you cannot pinch extra webbing at the shoulder.

• Adjust the chest clip to armpit level.

• Use the car’s safety belt or LATCH system to lock the car seat into the car. Do not use both at the same time.  Be sure to use the top tether

• Your car seat should not move more than one inch side to side or front to back. Grab the car seat at the safety belt path or LATCH path to test it.

• Use a top tether if your vehicle and car seat are both so equipped. Tethers limit the forward motion of your child’s head in a crash.

• Have your car seat checked by a currently certified child passenger safety technician to make sure it’s properly installed.

• Do not allow children to play with unused seat belts. Treat them as you would any rope or cord.

• Be sure all occupants wear seat belts correctly every time. Children learn from adult role models.

• If you have a heavier or taller child, find a car seat with a harness that fits larger children. Some seats hold children up to 80 or even 100 pounds.

• Restrain all children in the age- and weight-appropriate child restraint when in a car with the motor running. That will limit access to power windows. Never leave children unattended.

Take the next step to a booster seat when you answer “yes” to any of these questions:

• Does your child exceed the car seat’s height or weight limits?

• Are your child’s shoulders above the car seat’s top harness slots?

• Are the tops of your child’s ears above the top of the car seat?

Exterior paint colors for the special model include Bright White, Billet Silver Metallic and Glacier Blue Pearl Coat.

Special features of the Chrysler 300 Glacier include unique body-color fascia accents, along with gloss black mirrors, headlamp bezels and Black Chrome sculpted horizontal grille blades. It also gets unique 19-inch eight-spoke aluminum wheels in Satin Carbon.

2013 Detroit: New Dodge Dart GT hints at more fun

The top dog of the Dart sedan lineup, the Dart GT, was revealed today at the Detroit Auto Show, sporting mostly cosmetic enhancements: LED tail lamps, integrated dual exhaust, projector headlights and body-colored door handles.

Inside, the GT gets "Nappa" perforated leather seats, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control. But the heart of the Dart is the 184-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine.

Enthusiasts will be thankful that this powertrain is available with a six-speed manual transmission; a six-speed automatic is also offered.

The GT will also get standard 18-inch wheels and a sport suspension with "frequency sensing damping shocks." Other features include an 8.4-inch touch screen with Chrysler's Uconnect, rear-view camera and a number of other add-ons to justify the $20,995 retail price. We like that touch-screen in other Chrysler products, such as the 300.

"The new Dart  GT embodies the best attributes that compact car buyers are looking for, including outstanding style, performance, technology and value," said Dodge President Reid Bigland.

The new version of the Dart will also feature some unique styling touches like an integrated dual exhaust and LED tail lamps.

It will join a lineup that already includes the Dart SE, SXT, Rallye, Aero and Limited models.

Chrysler said, "Dodge continues to investigate a high-performance R/T model."

The GT features unique performance-enhancing front fascia with black accents and a Hyper Black grille; black projector headlamp bezels; body-color door handles; class-exclusive heated steering wheel; heated front seats; dual-zone automatic temperature control; a universal garage door opener and GT badge.

Like the other versions of the Dart, the GT will be built at Chrysler's Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois. Production is slated to begin in the second quarter of the year.
