Highlighted Jeep Safety Features

Here’s just a handful of Jeep’s best safety and security systems:

  • ParkView® Rear Backup Camera: Combined with the Uconnect® touchscreen, this backup camera makes hitching a trailer or snagging parking spaces on Anoka streets less stressful.
  • ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System: During parking, this system uses sensors to alert you to obstacles behind your Jeep.
  • LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist: If you begin to drift from your lane without signaling, this system will notify you and can correct steering to re-center the vehicle.
  • Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking: This system will warn you if you’re approaching a straight-ahead vehicle too quickly. If you don’t react in time, the brakes will automatically engage.
  • Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection: BSM will notify you when a vehicle enters your blind zone, while RCPD will alert you to approaching vehicles as you’re reversing.
  • SOS Call and Assist Buttons: Located on the rearview mirror, the SOS Call button connects you to a Public Safety Answering point, so you can request emergency assistance. The Assist button lets you request roadside assistance.
