Dodge Safety Features: 2024 Enhancements

Dodge is well-known for high-performance vehicles and some of the most iconic muscle cars ever built. Safety is an essential part of every vehicle design, and your Dodge includes various advanced driver-assistance features to enhance this safety. We will look closer at some of the standard and available Dodge safety features that protect you when you drive.

Dodge Safety Features That Protect You on the Road

Forward Collision Warning with Full Stop

This system identifies potential collision situations and warns you, so an accident can be prevented. It will also actively assist if needed. It uses a forward-facing camera and radar to watch the road ahead for other vehicles. If a vehicle is detected, the system determines the distance between vehicles and calculates their respective speeds. If you’re closing too fast on another vehicle, it provides visual and audio warnings so you can intervene.

If it detects a likely collision, it activates the brakes to reduce your speed and can even bring your vehicle to a hard stop if necessary to prevent an accident.

Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Assist

This feature is similar to the collision warning above but can identify pedestrians or animals in your path. It’s continually active when you travel over 5mph up to highway speeds and provides visual and audio warnings if an accident is likely. If you can’t react in time, this system will immediately apply hard braking to bring your Dodge to a stop.

LaneSense with Lane-Keeping Assist

LaneSense uses a camera to identify the lane line markings and then monitors your vehicle to ensure it stays within the lines. If your vehicle drifts across these lines and your direction indicator isn’t active, a warning sounds and a warning icon appears on your screen. The system will also provide additional steering torque, allowing you to steer into your original lane.

Drowsy Driver Alert

It’s easy to become tired or distracted if you’ve been behind the wheel for a long period. If you’re tired, mistakes are more likely to happen and could cause an accident. This feature monitors your steering to identify these issues. If you’re frequently drifting in your lane, it provides visual and audio warnings, including a coffee cup icon, to suggest you pull over and take a break.

Traffic Signal Recognition

Sometimes you can drive by a sign without reading it, and you could end up unintentionally speeding if the speed limit has dropped. This system recognizes traffic signs using a camera, and an icon representing the sign will appear on your screen. This allows you to reduce speed or make other decisions based on the identified traffic signal.

These are some of the standard or available safety features you may have, depending on your model. If you’d like to know more, contact us today at Ewald CDJR in Franklin, WI.
