Are Jeeps Safe?

 

At Pellegrino Chrysler Jeep, your safety has always been our number-one concern. 

 

 

 

We are proud that our 2020 Jeep Cherokee drivers and passengers are protected by 80 standard and available safety features. With more airbags than any other vehicle in its class, intuitive safety features, and more extras than you could have dreamed of even a few years ago, your safety is our top priority. 

 

 

 

Ask one of our salespeople which safety features come standard, and be sure to ask about available options, too. 

 

Crash Protection 

 

Our 2020 Jeep Cherokee has the most airbags in its class, including an overhead airbag that is used for protection in the event of a rollover or side collision. Its body is also reinforced with a high-strength steel frame to help keep you and your loved ones safe from impact. 

 

Street Smarts

 

Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection 

 

 

 

Don’t worry about that pesky blind spot anymore! Should a vehicle enter your blind spot, an icon will illuminate in the corresponding side mirror, alerting you to the fact that it is unsafe to change lanes. It’s true that nothing is better than checking behind you with your own eyes, but how comforting to know you have a back-up to alert you, just in case! 

 

 

 

Rear Cross Path Detection alerts you if a vehicle is crossing behind you while your vehicle is in reverse and slowly accelerating (usually out of a parking space in a crowded parking lot).

 

 

 

Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking 

 

 

 

If you’re traveling at a rate of speed that is too fast for the traffic ahead of you, and for whatever reason, you don’t take action to decrease your rate of speed, we alert you with an audible chime, a visual warning, and then, if you take no action, coming to a complete stop if necessary to save you from a collision. 

 

 

 

LaneSense Lane Departure Warning System 

 

 

 

Should you veer into a different lane of traffic, LaneSense will alert you with both visual and audible warnings. If you don’t take corrective action, the system will gently correct for you and maintain your lane. 

 

 

 

Electronic Stability Control 

 

 

 

When activated, this safety feature uses an entire network of sensors and 4WD systems to help maintain vehicle control when you’ve veered out of your lane. It also corrects oversteer or understeer to keep you headed in the direction you need to go! 

 

 

Premium Parking Technology 

 

ParkSense Rear Park Assist with Stop 

 

 

 

With ParkSense technology, you’ll never back over a bicycle in a driveway again! This system alerts you if your vehicle gets too close to any obstacle in your path when you’re reversing. If you don’t stop, our safety systems will stop you.

 

 

 

ParkView Rear Back Up Camera 

 

 

 

One of the most common but most useful safety features, the Rear Back Up Camera displays what is immediately behind you onto your dashboard screen as soon as you put your vehicle in reverse. Using helpful gridlines to help navigate into difficult parking spots and avoiding whatever may be in your path, this simple but vitally important safety feature is standard on most models. 

 

 

 

Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist with Full Stop 

 

 

 

Often the most complex part of the driver’s test, parallel and perpendicular parking is intimidating no more. With Park Assist, you have nothing to worry about. This system recognizes open parking spaces and steers the vehicle while directing you to shift gears and operate the brake and accelerator. It’s literally that easy! 

 

Extras 

 

Adaptive Cruise Control 

 

 

 

All you have to do is select your preferred speed and distance between your vehicle and others in traffic. This system does the rest. Maintaining your speed and preferred distance, the system accelerates and brakes when necessary, even coming to a complete stop to await traffic variations and then accelerating when appropriate. 

 

 

 

Keyless Enter ‘N Go 

 

 

 

This may not seem like a safety feature; however, if you’re trying to get in your vehicle in a hurry, it most certainly can be! No trying to find your key in a tense situation – just have the fob on your person. Get close to your vehicle. Pull the door handle, and you’re in! It’s that fast and easy. Once you’re inside, you don’t need the key to start the engine either. Just press the Start/Stop button while applying the brake. Presto! You’re off! 
 

 

Automatic Headlamps 

 

Automatic headlamps detect light from oncoming traffic and either turn on your high or low beams depending on the light detected. You don’t have to remember to be courteous to oncoming traffic anymore – the system does it for you! 

 

 

 

Rain-Sensing Wipers

 

 

 

Performing exactly the way you assume, these wipers sense rain on the windshield and automatically begin wiping. Perfection. 

 

 

 

Pellegrino Chrysler Jeep on Glassboro Road is proud of the numerous safety features afforded our drivers. Give us the chance to show you all the ways we keep you safe while you’re on the road. You’ll be surprised how confident you feel!
