Whenever you get behind the wheel, peace of mind is priceless. The advanced safety features in the latest Chrysler models remove much of the stress involved in driving; when you’re well-protected against bumps, scrapes, and collision threats, you can relax and enjoy yourself more. Here are some of the best Chrysler safety features as standard and optional in 2024 models. 

Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning

If your car detects a risk of hitting the vehicle in front of you, it will give you an audible and visual warning and activate Active Braking, which enhances your ability to quickly slow or stop your car. If required, your car will then engage Automatic Emergency Braking to help you avoid or mitigate the collision.

Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking 

With this feature, your car will also detect any pedestrians who wander into your path. You’ll then receive the same alert and automatic assistance to stop your car. 

Lane Departure Warning With Lane Keep Assist

Your chances of unintentionally drifting into another lane are dramatically reduced with LaneSense. This pairing of features includes an alert when you start to wander from the center of your lane and also a gentle nudge to the steering to help you back into position.  

Rear Park Assist and Front Park Assist

Parking becomes much safer with these helpful features, which provide visual and audio indications of the exact distance between your car and any obstacles behind or in front when parking. The additional Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist feature helps you steer your way into and out of tricky parallel parking spots. 

Rear Cross Path Detection 

Reversing out of a tight parking spot creates the danger of hitting an unseen oncoming car. With this feature, once the rear of your vehicle is exposed a few inches into the road, your car can detect approaching vehicles and let you know when it’s safe to continue. 

Blind Spot Monitoring System

Driver blind spots can create a collision hazard when changing lanes on the highway. With this feature, your car continually monitors your blind spots, alerting you to oncoming vehicles with a light on the corresponding side view mirror.

Adaptive Cruise Control With Stop-and-Go

Driver fatigue is an ever-present risk on long journeys. With Adaptive Cruise Control, you can take your hands from the wheel and rest (as long as your eyes and attention remain on the road). 

Your car will then drive for you, steering and adjusting the acceleration and brakes as needed to maintain a designated safe distance from vehicles ahead. It can even come to a complete halt in traffic and then start up again automatically.
