2015 Dodge Charger Safety Features

Having access to reliable automotive information is important. That's why at Freehold Dodge, we provide our Freehold, Farmingdale, and Monroe Township customers with in-depth vehicle reviews. In this one, we look at the new 2015 Dodge Charger safety features.

After completing our review, we discovered that the Dodge Charger has a lot more advance safety technology than we originally thought. Because there are, in fact, so many, we'll highlight a few of them here. For additional information, call or visit us at Freehold Dodge.

Occupant Safety

The Dodge Charger has a number of safety features designed to keep you and your passengers safe. Sophisticated crumple zones positioned at the front and rear of the vehicle help absorb impact energy during a collision and disperse it from the passenger compartment.

The Charger's high-strength steel frame and strong roof construction compliment this protection, which further safeguards passengers.

The Charger also features advance multi-stage driver and front passenger airbags in addition to side curtain airbags and front seat-mounted side airbags. Combined with active front head restraints that automatically move, these safety features help reduce passenger injury in the event of an accident.

Monitoring the Road

The new Dodge Charger has several innovative monitoring systems, including the available Blind Spot Monitoring System and Rear Cross Path Detection. Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist not only warns you if you're entering a lane without signaling, but it even uses electric power steering to gently guide the vehicle back into the proper lane.

Added Control

Drivers of the 2015 Dodge Charger will enjoy all-speed traction control, which limits wheel spin and improves traction. If the system detects a wheel slip, individual braking or a reduction in engine power can be applied to regain stability. That selective braking is part of the Electronic Stability Control that continuously monitors vehicle steering and travel path.

Hill Start Assist is useful when accelerating from a full stop on a hill. This system works by holding brake pressure for a few moments while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop can detect slowing traffic and adjust your speed to maintain a safe following distance. The system can even come to a full stop if necessary.

Advanced Braking

Advanced Brake Assist helps by increasing brake force in an emergency braking situation, while Ready Alert Braking, on the other hand, can anticipate a panic stop before it even happens by measuring the speed at which the accelerator is released.

Then there's the Rain Brake Support, which keeps the Charger's brake pads dry in wet conditions by applying pressure. The result is improved stopping power in a variety of weather conditions.
