With the number of road accidents increasing each year, car safety features have never been more important. Good safety features reduce your risk of bumps, scrapes, skids, crashes, and potential injuries while driving. Fortunately, modern Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and RAM vehicles have some of the best safety features you can find on a car. Here are seven of these terrific safety features, and if you wish to learn more, you can always ask at your local Chrysler dealership.
Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning
The cameras and sensors on your car monitor the distances between you and other vehicles at all times. If you ever face an imminent threat of collision, your car will give you a crystal clear audible and visual warning.
Automated Emergency Braking
If you fail to react to a potential crash in time, your car will even take over the brakes. It will stop you before you collide. On top of this, the various braking stability features, such as anti-lock brakes and traction control, work to ensure that sudden braking doesn’t cause a skid.
Adaptive Cruise Control With Stop and Go
As every responsible driver knows, the chance of collision is greatly reduced when you keep a suitable distance between your car and others at all times. It’s usually recommended to make this distance three seconds in mild weather and eight or even ten seconds during winter.
To make this easier, the Adaptive Cruise Control feature can maintain those distances for you at all times, all the way from stationary to maximum highway speeds. You can use the computer’s preset distances or adjust them as you please.
Lane Departure Warning
Drifting across lanes is extremely dangerous when moving at high speeds. All it takes is a distracted or drowsy moment to wander toward another lane. Lane Departure Warning keeps an eye on your lane at all times and warns you clearly if you start to drift.
Lane Keep Assist
If you’re about to wander across lanes, your car will even help guide you back into your lane. It takes over your steering and nudges you back on course.
Blind Spot Monitoring
Another lane-related danger with most vehicles is when you need to change lanes. There’s always the small chance that a motorcyclist or even another car is directly in your blind spot, possibly accelerating to overtake you. With Blind Spot Monitoring, your car alerts you to any such vehicle in your blind spot with a light that comes to life on the corresponding mirror.
ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist
Parking doesn’t usually pose the greatest danger to your health, but bumping another car can cause an expensive hassle. With the various park assist features, your car uses sensors in the bumpers to monitor the exact distance of obstacles behind and in front of you. These sensors activate when you’re moving at less than 7mph and help take the stress out of parking for good.
