AZ STAR is part of a broader network of national Search and Rescue teams that use humans and their dogs to help local law enforcement agencies respond to missing individuals’ reports. AZ STAR explicitly helps law enforcement agencies look for missing individuals in urban areas along with places that are more difficult to search, including desert locations and wilderness areas.

About AZ STAR

AZ STAR was formed with the mission to improve public safety by using the specially trained trail and trained air scent teams to help locate victims of crime, drowning victims, and people with certain medical conditions, such as Alzheimer’s. The teams are also trained to search for evidence in instances that involve crimes or criminal investigations. They are also trained in locating cadavers.

Special Programs

Along with its general search and rescue missions, AZ STAR uses human and canine SAR teams in particular situations, such as groups specifically designed to conduct search and rescue operations in water settings. AZ STAR also partners with a local sister organization called “FindMe” that uses specially trained and carefully selected SAR teams with training in aerial search and rescue operations, photography, linguistics, and many other specialized areas.

Training and Resources

Individuals and organizations who want to become involved with the organization can request more details from AZ STAR about training opportunities. AZ STAR offers educational programs for adults and children in Arizona who want to learn basic survival skills for improved safety in the wilderness and outdoor settings.

Along with general wilderness safety training, AZ STAR offers specialized courses in specific areas, such as wilderness search techniques, water search techniques, desert search techniques, tracking, crime scene preservation, and advanced search and rescue. Courses are also available in related medical education, including first aid and CPR courses. Since public outreach and communications are a vital part of AZ STAR’s mission, special training is also offered for individuals interested in communicating AZ STAR’s mission to the public and coordinating search and rescue operations with local law enforcement agencies.

Events

Annually, AZ STAR offers special events to bring the organization members together and introduce potential program volunteers to training opportunities available. Events are held periodically throughout the year.

When you’re in the market for a new car, you need to consider a few essential factors to ensure you settle on something with the right performance and features for your driving needs. Finding a better vehicle to drive can make your commute easier and more enjoyable. It’s important to follow a few main tips when you start searching for the perfect car.

Consider How You Spend Your Time 

Think about your lifestyle and the activities you enjoy doing when narrowing down the best vehicle type for your needs. The car should make it easier to have fun and live your life how you prefer, whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or you like to spend time on the road traveling to different destinations. The car should be capable of off-roading if you prefer to go camping a lot, or you may want something compact if your job requires driving around to different locations throughout the day. 

Look at Your Family Size 

If you plan to use your new vehicle as a family car, consider your family’s size before you start looking around. Families with two or three kids can feel more accommodating, selecting a model that offers three rows of seats. You may also want something with screens for entertainment to keep your kids busy. If you only have one child in tow, you can consider something smaller like a mid-size SUV, which can still provide you with enough room for storing a stroller in the back. 

Keep Your Driving Habits in Mind 

The way that you drive will determine what types of vehicles are most accommodating and fun to use. If you have a lead foot, opt for a car with good acceleration to ensure you can have enough passing power and don’t feel lagged down by the engine. If you prefer to take things slow and aren’t in a rush, a compact car can deliver what you need and allow you to save more on gas. If you enjoy feeling in control of the vehicle, settle for something with sharp steering and good handling to make it easier to drive. 

You can reach out to our team at our dealership if you want additional tips for finding your perfect car for your needs. We’re here to assist you with browsing our inventory of vehicles and explaining financing options available to our customers.

As a rule, navigation systems like the one in your INFINITI vehicle need to be updated with new maps every five years or so. This new information contains data about newly constructed roads, new points of interest, and anything else that can be used to give you turn-by-turn directions when you drive someplace new.

If you’ve just purchased a new INFINITI vehicle, you don’t need to worry about installing any new updates for your navigation system. If it’s been at least five years, you probably need to order a DVD containing the most recent map data available. You can order this DVD at navigation.com and clicking on the INFINITI logo on the home page. From there, click on the “Menu” tab on the top of the page and select your INFINITI vehicle. From there, you’ll be taken to an order page where you can add the latest update DVD to your cart. Click on “Add to Cart” and enter your payment information to complete your order. Your new DVD will be shipped directly to you. When it arrives, insert it into the DVD drive on your vehicle’s dashboard and start your car. Your navigation system will update on its own.

If you have any questions about this process or think there are any problems with your navigation system, an update won’t fix. Contact us at INFINITI of Peoria today. We will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

INFINITI has revealed the QX60 Monograph, a close-to-production concept that is a dramatic departure from the current QX60. The QX60 Monograph is a concept design study exploring the direction INFINITI will adopt for its three-row crossover. Thus, the QX60 Monograph concept informs how the next generation of QX60 will look when it gets its 2022 overhaul.

The reveal shows a sleek, futuristically-designed, QX60 Monograph with a larger grille outlined in chrome.  The headlights feature a narrower design giving the front end a more aggressive stance.  The concept doesn’t feature many sculpted lines; instead, QX60 Monograph goes with a futuristic look featuring retracting door handles that blend into the smooth design. The QX60 Monograph features an eye-catching floating roofline design, with help by redesigning the D-pillar, a design that has been an INFINITI SUV trademark. The design of the QX60 Monograph is a significant move away from the current QX60; it has more truck-like proportions. The hood slopes less at the grille, and the pushed back windshield line makes the hood look larger.

The QX60 Monograph is expected to be available on the market in 2021. There are no other details around the QX60 Monograph as INFINITI has not revealed information on what the interior will look like or which trims, engines, safety, and technology features will be available.

Contact us at INFINITI of Peoria for more details on the INFINITI QX60 Monograph concept.

Owning a car is a responsibility. You depend on your car to get you from Point A to Point B, and your car depends on you to make sure it is receiving adequate maintenance inspections. Just like taking your pet to the veterinarian for a checkup, routine maintenance is vital for keeping your vehicle running dependably. Below are few easy ways to ensure your vehicle stays running and dependable, courtesy of INFINITI of Peoria.

Regular Oil Changes

Motor oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle. It cools, lubricates, and cleans your engine, which is vital for long-term performance. Typically, the engine oil should be changed every six months or roughly every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. This figure is not set in stone. Factors like whether your car uses standard or synthetic oil and its overall mileage will dictate how often your oil needs to be changed. For the most accurate oil change timeline, refer to your owner’s manual.

Multi-Point Inspections

Multi-point inspections are a service that we routinely provide at INFINITI of Peoria. They are designed to find, analyze, and repair common car troubles soon after they begin. It is much easier to find and fix a problem early, rather than letting it get out of hand down the road.

Don’t Ignore Your Car

You are the expert when it comes to your car. It is up to you to notice potential new issues and respond to them appropriately. Is there a new clunk in the engine? Is the steering wheel jiggling when you shift into high gear? Is your engine having a new problem turning over? These are all ways that your car is trying to tell you something is going on. Don’t ignore your car. Instead of cranking up your radio so you can no longer hear that new squeak, give INFINITI of Peoria a call, and let us help you diagnose the issue.

You Are Your Car’s Best Advocate

Having a dependable car starts with you. If anyone is going to notice a new problem, you are. Routine maintenance is not difficult, but it is all too easy to ignore. Finding and fixing small issues before they have a chance to become big problems is the simplest way to keep your car running dependably. We at INFINITI of Peoria are committed to serving you, so reach out to us if you have any questions.

As Covid-19 has kept many people isolated at home, there’s been a growing need to fill the voids of boredom. Apart from spending all day on the couch catching up on old movies or TV shows, you may not know what to do with yourself. Here are five things that you can do to keep yourself entertained while practicing social distancing.

Video Chat 

Keeping your social distance from others is imperative at a time like this. However, with the lack of social closeness, you can find yourself under mental duress. To help enhance your mental health, try video chatting. Whether it’s a family member or an old friend, now is the perfect time to catch up. Video chatting has been shown to enhance mental health more than traditional voice chatting. 

Stop Watching the News Around the Clock 

As with any sort of pandemic, the news stations will be airing all kinds of information about the event. Some of that information is valid, and others are rumors. It’s best not to spend all your time watching the news as it can drive your stress levels through the roof. Instead, set aside time in the morning and the evening to scan local news stations to learn of any notable developments. 

Exercise 

Going from an active lifestyle to lounging around the house can take a toll on your body. After a couple of days of lounging around, you’ll likely want to get moving. Exercise is a great way to keep your body moving during this pandemic. Consider trying out a new exercise program online as there are tons of starter programs out there that don’t require any special equipment. 

Complete Your Honey To-Do List 

Do you remember all those things around the house that you said you would do when you got the time to do so? Well, now is the time that you can complete these to-do list tasks. Whether it’s rekindling a relationship with an old pal or finally completing that outdoor garden, this social distancing period has given you the necessary time to do so. 

Have a Designated Remote Workspace 

Many individuals are transitioning into working remotely for their job. This has brought the need for designated workspaces to be created. If you don’t have one, you need to construct one. It’s tough to maintain proper focus on your day-to-day work when you’re lounging on the couch, or your children are in the same room. Set aside a workspace that can allow you to focus on the tasks at hand without distraction. 

We understand the importance of social distancing, and we are happy to provide ways to say active and healthy. Contact us if you have any questions regarding any scheduled visit to our INFINITI dealership in Peoria. We’d be glad to help you and your family.
