Safety is at the heart of everything Chrysler does, and that is why all their cars are well-appointed with the latest features. As your CDJR dealer will inform you, Chrysler safety features do not replace your responsibility to operate your vehicle safely and attentively. However, they serve as an invaluable extra set of eyes on the road, leading to a more confident, responsible, and surefooted driving experience.
Forward Collision Alert With Active Braking
This feature is designed to warn you if you are about to crash into a slower-moving or stationary vehicle in front of you. If a collision is imminent, the system will display a red collision alert on the dash, accompanied by several high-pitched beeps. This provides you with the opportunity to brake or swerve in time. If you don’t react quickly enough, the car will initiate braking automatically.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control system is a vastly enhanced conventional cruise control. It not only performs the duty of traditional cruise control, i.e., maintaining a set speed, but it can also automatically adjust the speed of your vehicle to maintain a safe, pre-defined minimum distance from those ahead of it.
It is especially great on highways and city roads with lots of stop-and-go traffic because it frees you from the responsibility of touching the pedals. You only have to steer and concentrate on the road.
Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking
This system uses sensors to detect and monitor moving or stationary pedestrians in front of you. When a nearby pedestrian is detected, a warning light will be issued on the gauge cluster to alert you of their presence. If your vehicle approaches a detected pedestrian too quickly, the system may automatically apply brakes if necessary.
Lane Departure Warning With Lane Keep Assist
Even the most attentive drivers can experience momentary lapses in concentration, leading to drifting out of lane lines. These drifts can sometimes lead to collisions with adjacent vehicles or running off the road.
To reduce this risk, Chrysler’s Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist system actively monitors your vehicle’s position within its lane markings. If it detects an unintended drift, the system provides a brief steering nudge to guide the car back into its lane.
Rear Cross Path Detection
Backing out of a parking lot does not have to be a gamble, thanks to the Rear Cross Path Detection system found in your Chrysler. To use this feature, reverse your car slowly until you expose the rear end. The Rear Cross Path Detection system will then have a clear view of traffic approaching from the left or right and warn you if any oncoming vehicle is detected.
