Are Jeeps Safe?

Have you ever wondered, “Are Jeeps safe?” The answer is yes! These trail-tested SUVs are well-known for their dependability and off-road performance, and come equipped with advanced 4×4 systems to keep you moving forward over any challenge. Do you still have questions about the available Jeep safety features and safety ratings! Our guide below has all the answers you’re looking for.

Next-Generation Jeep Safety Features

Current Jeep models come equipped with a wide array of standard and available Jeep safety features! Here are just a few of the advanced technologies that stand out:

• ParkView® Rear Backup Camera: As part of your Uconnect® touchscreen infotainment system, this backup camera lets you quickly view your surroundings and find the perfect parking spot.
• ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System: Parking on the streets of Dallas or Austin becomes even easier when you choose a model with ParkSense® Rear Park Assist. They’ll beep to alert you if you come too close to an obstacle.
• LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist: Many accidents occur when a driver accidentally changes lanes without signalling! This system alerts you to any such changes, so you can get back on track.
• Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking: If you come too close to a vehicle in your direct path, this system will warn you, and engage the brakes automatically if necessary.
• Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection: The BSM checks your blind spot automatically, and when you’re in reverse, the RCPD will alert you to vehicles approaching from either direction.
• SOS Call and Assist Buttons: With these built-in assistance buttons, you’ll never be stuck on the side of the road again. Find them right on the rearview mirror.

Sophisticated 4×4 Technology

In order to earn the Jeep Trail-Rated® badge, a vehicle must pass several grueling rounds of testing. Models like the Jeep Wrangler, the Grand Cherokee, the Cherokee, and the Compass have all been proven to deliver Grade-A performance on the trails, or in weather that’s working against you.

No matter where your adventures take you, your Jeep will make you feel comfortable while traversing:

• Mud
• On-Road
• Gravel
• Snow
• Rock
• Sand

Remember that tire pressure can also have a major impact on vehicle safety, both on and off the trails. Find out how to make the most of your TPMS today!
