Safety

The Jeep Cherokee was built to help protect you and your passengers. This vehicle was made with a high-strength steel frame, and it also has many airbags to help with crash protection.

However, this SUV also offers you some safety technology features that can help to prevent collisions from occurring or lessen the impact of a collision. Some of these safety technology features include blind spot monitoring, rear cross path detection, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, electronic stability control, a rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, and park assist features. You can learn more details about some of these safety features below.

• Automatic Emergency Braking – This feature ties in with the forward collision alert feature. With forward collision alert, your vehicle detects if you are getting too close to a vehicle in front of you. If you are getting too close, the automatic emergency braking feature presses the brakes to help you avoid or lessen a collision.
• Rear Cross Path Detection – It is important to look behind your vehicle when you are backing up, but it can be hard to detect vehicles that may cross into your path. This safety feature helps to detect those vehicles that may be in your path when you are backing up, and it alerts you to them so that you can avoid a collision.
• Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist – Do you ever struggle to fit in that last parking spot on the block? With the available parallel and perpendicular park assist, your vehicle will steer you into that parking space with no problem. It will direct you on how to park perfectly.
