You know that Jeep® SUVs deliver best-in-class performance on the trail, but is a Jeep a safe car for traffic and slippery roadways in Ankeny?

Read on for a guide to Jeep safety features from the team at DeYarman CDJR Ames!

Key Jeep Safety Features

Even if you use your SUV regularly for off-roading, you still need it to keep you safe in Boon traffic. And, if you’re a parent, you’ll want to know more about any vehicle’s safety features before you buy. Is a Jeep a safe car for teen drivers and other new drivers? Jeep may be known mainly for capability, but the long list of Jeep safety features is just as impressive:

• ParkView® Rear Backup Camera: With a backup camera, it’s easier to back into tight spots or hitch up a trailer on the first try.
• ParkSense® Front & Rear Park Assist System: This system alerts you to vehicles, pedestrians, or objects in front or behind your Jeep when maneuvering in or out of a parking space.
• LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist: If the vehicle 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 while helping correct your vehicle’s path.
• Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking: This system warns you if it detects a potential frontal impact. If the risk continues, it will automatically apply the brakes.
• 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.
• Adaptive Cruise Control: This system automatically adjusts your cruising speed to keep you at a preselected distance from the vehicle ahead of you.

Trail Rated® Jeep Safety Features

Conditions on the Nevada trails can be a real challenge when the weather isn’t cooperating. Are Jeep models safe on unstable terrains like mud, gravel, snow, rocks, and sand? Yes!
