Dodge is known for high-performance muscle cars that rule the track and keep you safe at the same time. They are also known for their commitment to your safety off the track. Depending on your model, you have numerous standard and available safety features that protect you by providing the equivalent of additional eyes and ears to monitor the area around you. As your Dodge dealer, we want to tell you about some of these safety features.

From Your Dodge Dealer: A Closer Look at Dodge Safety Features

ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera

Take the stress out of reversing and make parallel a breeze with this system. When you shift into reverse, the camera displays a digital view of the area immediately behind you in real-time. Grid lines appear on the screen to guide you and ensure a hassle-free and perfect reverse every time.


Blind Spot Monitoring With Rear Cross Path Traffic Detection

Sensors are installed on the rear sides of your Dodge to monitor the neighboring lanes. This makes changing lanes safer than ever as they scan for approaching vehicles. If a vehicle is detected, the system provides visual and audio alerts so you can take action and avoid an accident.

The cross-path feature uses sensors that watch directly behind you for any vehicle entering from left or right when you reverse. If the system identifies movement behind you, you’ll hear a warning sound, giving you enough time to hit the brakes and avoid a collision.


Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning With Active Braking

Radar is used to watch the area directly in front of you for other vehicles. If a vehicle is detected, this system assesses the two vehicle’s speeds and distance and provides audio and visual warnings if you get too close. These warnings give you time to steer away or brake to prevent an accident.

If a collision is imminent, the system can apply hard braking to bring you to an instant stop.


Automatic High Beam Headlights

High beams are essential for night driving, particularly if you’re in a dimly lit area or a country road. They allow you to see further and clearer, so you can drive with greater peace of mind. While they make it easier for you to see, they can blind drivers in front of you or approaching from the opposite direction.

Sensors in the headlight can register the tail lights of a vehicle ahead or the headlight of an oncoming vehicle. In either situation, your headlights are immediately switched to low beams. They’ll automatically switch to high beams again once the lights are no longer visible.

These are just a few of the safety systems you’ll find in a Dodge. To learn more about these and the other systems that protect you, contact us today at Coughlin Marysville CDJR in Marysville, OH.
