One of the most important things to consider when shopping for a new car, truck, or SUV is safety. Drive with confidence knowing these car safety features are standard or available on many models of Today’s Dodge/RAM vehicles.

1. Lanesense Lane Departure Warning With Lane Keep Assist

This available safety feature can help keep you in your lane and prevent accidents. If your vehicle drifts on the road, Lanesense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist will automatically alert you and correct your path if you don’t respond, putting you back in the correct lane.

2. Fast Brake

The Fast Brake system includes multiple available braking features to ensure you have a safe vehicle that you can count on when you need it.

Options available include Rain Brake Support, which, when the windshield wipers are activated, applies light pressure to the calipers to remove water from the pads, Ready-Alert Braking to prepare for a panic stop, and Brake Assist, which adds breaking power to prevent a collision

3. Blind Spot Monitoring

It can be challenging to see everything around your vehicle while driving, making changing lanes or parking a safety concern.

With Blind Spot Monitoring, you will be alerted to an obstacle or vehicle in your path while driving, parking, or backing up so you can navigate traffic safely. In addition, when towing, trailer length can be accounted for to adjust the size of your blind spot.

4. Forward Collision Warning With Active Braking

Surrounding drivers and traffic are unpredictable. As a result, even the most careful driver may have a close call with the car in front of them. So Dodge built the available Forward Collison Warning and Active Braking system to help.

This safety feature will alert you if you are approaching the vehicle in front of you too closely or quickly. And, if you don’t respond, the system can even stop your car for you, potentially avoiding an accident.

5. Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist

Parking in tight spots can be tricky and time-consuming. Let your vehicle help.

Available on select makes, Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist can take the wheel and help make parking a breeze. You control the brake, accelerator, and gear position and let the parking system control the steering.

6. Electronic Stability Control

Weather, other drivers, obstacles, and sharp turns can all be potential causes of a wreck. While it isn’t possible to avoid these hazards while driving, this safety feature can help you maintain control of your vehicle and stay safe on the road.

Electronic Stability Control monitors your steering to help maintain directional control, and All-Speed Traction Control uses Electronic Roll Mitigation to help prevent a rollover.

7. Adaptive Cruise Control

Set your speed and let your car do most of the work.

With Adaptive Cruise Control, you can select the following distance and speed. The system will automatically adjust using throttle control and limited braking when slower traffic is in front of you or maintain your chosen speed when the lane is clear. This safety system will also bring the vehicle to a complete stop if needed.

Safety is critical; we get that. And, with numerous features designed to keep you safe available throughout the Dodge/RAM lineup, we are sure to have a vehicle to fit your needs. Contact Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today and let us find you the perfect car.
