  Replacing your Volvo's Battery By: Jason McKinsey Volvos today are equipped with advanced technologies.  Some technology systems are designed to keep passengers safe, while others provide entertainment and useful travel and vehicle information.  Regardless of what the technology systems are designed for, all of them require electrical power from the vehicle.  While the vehicle’s battery does not directly supply power to these systems once the engine is running, the battery is a very important part of the electrical system. With the introduction of Start/Stop Engine technology, Volvo now utilizes two batteries in every new vehicle.  One battery is designed to start the engine, while the other battery is used to maintain the technology systems during the Start/Stop sequence. Volvo’s use of batteries will continue to evolve, as the automotive technology becomes more complex. There are two main types of batteries in Volvos: Starting-Lighting-Ignition (SLI) and V

There are many parents in the Central Pennsylvania region who simply cannot afford new child seats for their families and unfortunately end up compromising on safety. Lehman Volvo Cars stands behind its core value of safety and provided families in need of car seats with new infant, toddler, and/or booster seats.  The “Protect the Gifts” Car Seat Campaign is a special program that promotes safety in a unique way. Lehman Volvo Cars selected families from e-mail nominations that were received in November.  A total of 64 new car seats were provided and safely installed to the selected families on Friday, December 8th at Lehman Volvo Cars in York and Saturday, December 9th at Lehman Volvo Cars in Mechanicsburg. A special thank you to all of the volunteers from Safe Kids Pennsylvania that safely installed each and every car seat! Below are just a few photos from Lehman Volvo Cars car seat installation days in York and Mechanicsburg! Happy Holidays from the Lehman fami

Where a Car Comes from Matters  By: Dan Lehr, Lehman Volvo Cars Pre-Owned Sales Manager When the decision comes to purchase a pre-owned vehicle, one of the main concerns shoppers have is the history of the vehicle they are looking to buy. Looking at the differences in model, equipment, and color combination, each vehicle is unique, and of course, the history of each vehicle is also unique.   When a car is properly maintained, it should serve a long and (relatively) drama-free life on the road. However, if routine maintenance isn’t followed, there are bound to be issues somewhere along the way.  Lehman Volvo Cars is fortunate in that most of our pre-owned inventory falls into three main categories: Off-Lease Vehicles, Customer Owned Trade-ins or Dealership-Owned Vehicles. Let’s take a look…  Off-Lease Vehicles: A common misconception about off-lease vehicles, is that they tend to be a little rougher around the edges. Quite the opposite is true with the off-lease ve

Measuring your Tire Pressure By: Jason McKinsey Imagine this: You jump into your Volvo and start the engine.  Your heated seats and steering wheel feel amazing on this cold November morning.  You begin driving down the driveway and notice an orange warning light on the instrument panel which reads “Low Tire Pressure.”  You step out of your Volvo and begin to assess your tires.  The tires appear normal. You think, “Maybe the message is a false alarm.”  This nuisance is all too familiar to drivers this time of year.  But, why does this happen? The pressure in your tires drop one pound of pressure for every 10 degree temperature drop.  Meaning, if you set your pressure to 36 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) in 90-degree July weather, and today its 30 degrees outside, your tires are now 30 PSI.  Newer Volvos are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system.  This system constantly checks the pressure in your tires and alerts you when the pressure falls below a normal level.  The “
