Understanding Chrysler's SafetyTec Plus Group Features

While driving a luxury vehicle with all the latest features and driver amenities is enjoyable, all those options are pointless if your vehicle isn't equipped with a reliable safety system. Chrysler has created Chrysler SafetyTec Plus in response: a group of driver assistance safety and security features that protect drivers and passengers on the road. more Advanced Brake Assist Advanced brake assist is one of the Chrysler safety features that automatically increases brake force to mitigate or prevent a collision. It works in combination with the full-speed collision warning with active braking system and gives drivers peace of mind that if they cannot control their vehicle, it will work on their behalf to do it for them. Adaptive Cruise Control With Stop Adaptive cruise control with stop helps maintain a safe vehicle distance within a lane to prevent collisions. It controls the throttle and the brake and can also use force when necessary to activate the brake in the event of a potential collision. Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning With Active Braking The full-speed forward collision warning with an active braking system provides drivers with alerts if they drive too close to a vehicle. It also activates the brakes to prevent them from rear-ending the vehicle in front of them. Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers Rain-sensing windshield wipers may seem to be more of an amenity, but they're important safety features. They automatically activate if the sensors detect rain on the windshield, which gives drivers clear vision and allows for automatic rain clearing. LaneSense Lane Departure Warning With Lane Keep Assist This safety feature provides drivers with alerts, letting them know when they have drifted over the designated lane markers. If drivers don't respond to the alerts, the system will respond on their behalf and adjust their vehicle accordingly. ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist The ParkSense front and rear park assist system acts as an extra set of eyes at low speeds when parking and alerts drivers so that they don't hit stationary objects when entering or exiting a parking area. Auto High-Beam Headlamp Control This safety feature works by adjusting the brightness of the headlights after the sensors evaluate the surrounding conditions to ensure adequate illumination. It also lowers the glare on the front lighting when a vehicle approaches to prevent any safety hazards.
