The Chrysler Pacifica is one of the most popular minivans for families. Its popularity can be attributed to its stylish exterior, comfortable and convenient interior, drivability, and many available safety features. Let’s take a closer look at ways the 2021 Pacifica keeps you and your family safe. Though available safety features are highly effective, they should never be substituted for driver awareness and safe driving practices.
1. Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning With Active Braking
With today’s crowded streets and the many distractions associated with driving, it can be easy to lose sight of what’s ahead. This is where 2021 Pacifica’s full-speed forward collision warning with active braking comes into play. If you are distracted and encounter a possible front collision, this available safety feature uses a combination of warnings and driver-assist technology to help you avoid a forward collision.
When a full-speed forward collision is imminent, the safety system issues a visual and audible warning to alert you of the situation. If no action is taken, it then applies automated emergency braking to bring the Pacifica to a complete stop when necessary.
2. Adaptive Cruise Control
Cruise control isn’t a new concept and has been a convenient feature on many vehicles for many years. Adaptive cruise control that includes stop and go is available on the 2021 Pacifica. This new system takes cruise control to the next level with added safety for you and your family. When engaged, this available safety feature uses multiple sensors to maintain a preset distance between the Pacifica and the vehicle directly ahead.
As a result, adaptive cruise control will adjust your speed to match the vehicle in front of you and execute stop-and-go procedures when traffic comes to a complete stop. This feature operates between 0 mph and standard highway cruising speeds.
3. Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking System
Regardless of how attentive you are as a driver, some circumstances can result in your attention being drawn away from what lies ahead. Not only do drivers lose focus at times, so do pedestrians who may not see your Pacifica as they begin to cross the road. The available pedestrian automatic emergency braking system on the 2021 Pacifica helps avoid accidents involving pedestrians regardless of who may be at fault. When this system senses a possible collision with a pedestrian, automatic emergency braking is executed to bring the Pacifica to a stop before it is too late.
4. LED Headlamps, Fog Lamps, and Taillamps
Nighttime visibility is one of the most critical aspects of driving. Poor visibility can result in an accident that could have been avoided. Nighttime driving is difficult for most drivers, and the 2021 Pacifica addresses this issue with upgraded lighting to help illuminate the path ahead. LED headlamps and fog lamps increase visibility with farther-reaching and wider beams. LED taillights work to ensure the Pacifica is visible to other drivers, helping keep you and your family safe as you travel through the night.
These are only a few of the ways that the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica can keep you and your family safe. It has many more available safety features such as lane departure warning with lane keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, and rear park assist. When you seeking out a safe family vehicle, the Pacifica will exceed your expectations.
