Key Jeep Safety Features

When shopping for the best SUV for your growing or active family, Jeep safety should be a major selling point. Yes, they’re great for off-roading. But Jeep safety is far more than just for wilderness adventures. If you’re a parent of teenagers learning how to drive, you want your vehicle to be safe for your youngster’s new experiences. Are Jeep vehicles safe for teen drivers and other new drivers? Yes, due in part to the many Jeep safety features found on newer models.

See a list of the main features here:

• ParkView® Rear Backup Camera – With this backup camera, it’s easier to back into tight spots or hitch up a trailer on the first try. You may not need a helper for a trailer hitch!
• ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System – This system alerts you to vehicles, pedestrians, or objects behind your vehicle when backing in or out of a parking space. This is handy if you can’t see these obstacles.
• LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist – If your Jeep drifts across the lane marker and the turn signal isn’t on, this active Jeep safety feature sends audible and visual warnings to the driver that you’re drifting out of your lane.
• Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking — This system warns the driver if the vehicle in front has slowed and you need to reduce your speed. You can even set it to assist with braking in case you don’t have time to react. This Jeep safety feature can help you avoid a collision.
• Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection – If another vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches while you are in reverse, this system can send warnings to help avoid a collision.
