3 Pacifica Safety Features That Will Keep Your Family SecureSafety is a paramount concern for any parent. Thankfully, Chrysler takes care of the details so you can focus on the road. In fact, the 2020 Pacifica minivan is one of the safest family cars on the market, according to the IIHS. This national body named this minivan a Top Safety Pick. It also earned a five-star safety rating from the NHTSA. Look closer at the latest Chrysler Pacifica features working hard to keep you and your family safe. 

Parking Aids to Prevent Injuries 

Accidents happen all the time. But we’re happy to say that safety features in the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica, can help prevent these events from occurring. 

The optional 360-degree surround-view camera lets you see behind the vehicle before you back up. ParkSense front and standard rear park assist, parallel and perpendicular park assist, and rear cross-path detection can also keep you and your little ones safe. 

Child Locks Keep Curious Kids Inside the Vehicle 

Having a child fall from a moving vehicle is every parent’s worst nightmare. Chrysler cuts the risk by adding child locks to every Pacifica. These manual child locks prevent children from opening the car door from the inside. They must stay put until you or another trusted adult opens the door from the outside. 

Driver-Assist Technologies Help You on the Road 

We all know the importance of staying alert and focused when we’re behind the wheel. However, that can be challenging when the kids have kept us up all night and they’re arguing in the back seat. Chrysler’s advanced driver-assist technologies can help out. 

Blind-spot monitoring is standard across the range to make changing lanes a breeze. If you don’t spot a vehicle in your blind-spot, the system lights an icon in the appropriate side mirror. 

Some of the more advanced safety features are optional extras. However, they’re well worth adding for your family’s safety. LaneSense lane departure warning with lane-keep assist keeps you where you need to be. This clever system gently guides you back into your lane when you start drifting. 

Full-speed forward collision warning with active braking reduces the risk of rear-end collisions. This system provides audio and visual warnings if you’re getting too close to the car ahead of you. If you don’t heed the warnings, it’ll apply the emergency brake to keep you and your family safe. 

Rear-end accidents often happen when you’re not maintaining a safe distance from the car in front of you. Adaptive cruise control with stop and go help you maintain your gap. Simply set your preferred distance and let your Pacifica minivan do the hard work. This technology works whether traveling at low or high speeds. 

There is no substitute for staying alert, but the Chrysler Pacifica’s impressive safety features provide a helping hand when you’re on the road. Choose a Chrysler Pacifica for the peace of mind you and your family deserve.
