Are Jeeps Safe?

It might be easy to see a Jeep Wrangler driving through Columbia with the roof and doors removed and wonder, “Are Jeeps safe?” Thanks to decades of engineering that have led to hosts of safety features, and responsible drivers like you, Jeep safety isn’t an oxymoron. Jeep vehicles are among the safest on Lawerenceburg streets, built with strong materials that can stand up to off-road conditions. Take a look at our guide to Jeep safety and we’ll answer, “Are Jeeps safe?” without a shadow of a doubt.

Jeep Safety Features

A big part of what makes Jeeps safe is the advancements in safety technology and driver-assist features. Just as we’ve stayed at the head of the pack on automotive engineering, we’ve done the same with safety technology. Here’s a small sample of the safety features you’ll find on most Jeep vehicles that will help keep you safe on Lewisburg streets

• ParkView® Rear Backup Camera: The backup camera uses the Uconnect® touchscreen, allowing you to hitch a trailer or back into a parking space.
• ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System: This system alerts you to any obstacles behind your Jeep while you park.
• LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist: If you fail to keep your Jeep between the lines this system issues an audible and visual warning to alert you. It can even correct steering to re-center the vehicle.
• Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking: If you’re approaching another vehicle too quickly, you’ll get an alert. If you don’t react in time, the brakes will engage automatically.
• Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection: If a vehicle enters your blind spot or is approaching as you reverse, you’ll get a notification.
• SOS Call and Assist Buttons: Request emergency assistance with an easy-to-locate button on the rearview mirror. The SOS Call button connects you to a Public Safety Answering point. The Assist button connects you to local roadside assistance.
• Adaptive Cruise Control: This system will automatically adjust your cruise control driving speed to a preset distance from the vehicle ahead of you.
• Automatic High Beam Headlamps: These innovative headlamps can sense when they’re needed and when they’re not. For extra safety on dark roads, these lamps will illuminate the path ahead of you while also being courteous of the cars around you.

4×4 Systems

Every Jeep has a 4×4 system that’s undergone rigorous testing to prove its stability and safety. The Trail Rated® badge that every Jeep vehicle has earned indicates the one-of-a-kind off-road durability tests that have been passed: traction, water fording, articulation, maneuverability, and ground clearance. For additional traction, you can opt for the Jeep 4×4 system with Command-Trac® or Jeep Active Drive Lock, which are designed especially for stability on surfaces like snow, mud, gravel, and even sand. Are Jeeps safe? When a Jeep can handle such adverse conditions, it can handle the streets in Pulaski.
