Core Safety Systems that Watch Every Angle

Every modern Dodge vehicle is engineered with a safety suite of intelligent systems designed to monitor surroundings and react instantly when danger is detected. Whether you’re maneuvering through busy city traffic or cruising on I-10, Dodge’s advanced safety features help reduce the stress of unexpected situations.

• Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking: This system detects potential front-end collisions with vehicles or obstacles. If the system senses danger, it alerts the driver and can apply active braking to help mitigate or avoid impact.
• Adaptive Cruise Control: This feature uses radar and cameras to maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting your cruise control speed to match traffic flow.
• Blind Spot Monitoring: It will alert you to vehicles hiding in your blind zones, making lane changes safer.
• Electronic Stability Control: This helps maintain control during sharp turns or slick roads by adjusting engine power and selective braking.
• Lane Departure Warning with LaneSense® Lane Keep Assist: It detects lane markings and alerts you if you drift without signaling; it can gently steer you back into your lane if needed.

These features combine precision sensors, radar technology, and automated support to make every drive smoother and more secure.

Driver Assistance that Simplifies Everyday Driving

Dodge’s driver assistance features go beyond prevention – they enhance daily convenience. Systems like Rear Park Assist and Rear Cross Path Detection help take the guesswork out of parking and reversing, while Traffic Sign Recognition keeps you informed on changing speed limits.

• Rear Park Assist: This alerts you to obstacles behind your vehicle while reversing.
• Rear Cross Path Detection: It warns you when vehicles or pedestrians are approaching from either side as you back out of a parking space.
• Traffic Sign Recognition: This available feature, offered on select Dodge models, scans and displays speed limits and other road signs in your instrument cluster.
• LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning: It monitors lane lines and can gently correct the vehicle’s course if you start to drift.
• Active Braking: It works with collision alerts to automatically apply the brakes in emergencies, minimizing potential damage.

These features give Dodge vehicles an intelligent edge, providing real-time data and automatic interventions that complement your driving instincts.

Connectivity and Emergency Assistance: Dodge Connect

In addition to built-in safety and driver assistance systems, Dodge offers Dodge Connect, a suite of roadside assistance and security services designed for peace of mind on the go. Using your vehicle’s Uconnect® system, you can access emergency services, request roadside help, or even use remote start and anti-theft monitoring through the app – all to ensure you stay protected no matter where you travel.
