RAM trucks are known not only for their rugged performance and towing capabilities but also for the advanced safety features that keep you and your passengers protected on every journey. At Monrovia CDJR, we understand that your truck needs to do more than just get the job done—it needs to keep you safe while doing it. In this article, we'll explore the key safety features that make RAM trucks some of the most secure vehicles on the road, giving you peace of mind no matter where your next adventure takes you.
RAM trucks have earned a well-deserved reputation for their power, durability, and exceptional performance. However, beyond their impressive towing and hauling capabilities, RAM trucks are also equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features designed to protect drivers and passengers. For Monrovia residents who rely on their vehicles for both work and leisure, these safety features provide peace of mind, whether you’re navigating city streets or tackling rugged terrain. In this article, we’ll delve into the key safety features of RAM trucks, highlighting how these innovations enhance safety for Monrovia drivers.
RAM trucks come equipped with a range of driver assistance technologies that are designed to help drivers stay aware of their surroundings and maintain control in various driving conditions. These systems use a combination of sensors, cameras, and radar to monitor the environment around the vehicle and provide real-time feedback to the driver, reducing the likelihood of accidents.
One of the standout driver assistance features in RAM trucks is Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path and Trailer Detection. This system uses radar sensors to detect vehicles in the truck’s blind spots and alerts the driver with visual and audible warnings. This is particularly useful when changing lanes on busy highways, as it helps prevent collisions by making the driver aware of vehicles that may not be visible in the mirrors. The Rear Cross Path Detection function is especially beneficial when backing out of parking spaces, as it alerts the driver to approaching vehicles from either side. For Monrovia drivers who frequently tow trailers, the Trailer Detection feature extends the blind spot monitoring system to cover the length of the trailer, ensuring safe lane changes even when hauling large loads.
Another critical driver assistance feature is Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Unlike traditional cruise control systems that maintain a constant speed, ACC adjusts the truck’s speed to maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. This is particularly useful in heavy traffic, where speeds can vary frequently. The system can bring the truck to a complete stop if necessary and then resume speed once traffic clears. For Monrovia drivers who spend a lot of time on the highway, this feature not only enhances safety but also reduces driver fatigue by minimizing the need for constant speed adjustments.
In addition to these systems, RAM trucks are equipped with LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist. This technology helps prevent unintentional lane drifting by monitoring the truck’s position relative to lane markings. If the system detects that the truck is drifting out of its lane without the use of a turn signal, it will alert the driver with visual and audible warnings. If the driver does not take corrective action, Lane Keep Assist can gently steer the truck back into the correct lane. This feature is particularly valuable on long drives or when driving on winding roads, where maintaining lane discipline is crucial for safety.
While driver assistance technologies play a vital role in preventing accidents, RAM trucks are also built with robust structural safety features designed to protect occupants in the event of a collision. These features include advanced airbag systems, high-strength steel frames, and crumple zones that work together to provide passive protection in various crash scenarios.
RAM trucks are constructed with high-strength steel frames that provide a sturdy foundation for the vehicle. This steel structure is designed to absorb and distribute impact forces during a collision, reducing the likelihood of injury to occupants. The rigidity of the frame also enhances the truck’s overall stability and handling, which is especially important when towing heavy loads or navigating challenging terrain. For Monrovia drivers who rely on their RAM trucks for both work and play, this structural integrity offers peace of mind, knowing that their vehicle is built to withstand the rigors of daily use while keeping them safe.
In addition to a strong frame, RAM trucks are equipped with advanced airbag systems that provide comprehensive protection in the event of a crash. These systems include multistage front airbags for the driver and passenger, which adjust the force of deployment based on the severity of the impact. This ensures that the airbags provide the right level of protection without causing unnecessary harm from overinflation. RAM trucks also feature side curtain airbags that extend along the length of the cabin to protect occupants' heads during a side impact. Seat-mounted side airbags further enhance protection by shielding the torso and pelvis from injury. The inclusion of crumple zones is another critical safety feature in RAM trucks. These zones are strategically placed at the front and rear of the vehicle to absorb energy during a collision, preventing it from being transferred to the passenger compartment. By deforming in a controlled manner, crumple zones help maintain the integrity of the cabin, reducing the risk of injury to occupants. This is particularly important in high-speed collisions, where the forces involved can be significant.
RAM trucks also come equipped with active head restraints, which are designed to reduce the risk of whiplash injuries in rear-end collisions. These restraints automatically move forward during a collision to support the head and neck, minimizing the likelihood of injury. Combined with energy-absorbing steering columns that collapse in a controlled manner during a frontal impact, these features contribute to the overall safety of the vehicle.
Braking performance and stability are critical aspects of vehicle safety, and RAM trucks are equipped with advanced systems that enhance both. These features help drivers maintain control in various driving conditions, ensuring that the truck can stop safely and remain stable, even in challenging environments.
RAM trucks feature a four-wheel disc antilock braking system (ABS) that provides excellent stopping power in all conditions. ABS prevents the wheels from locking up during hard braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control. This is particularly important in wet or slippery conditions, where locked wheels can cause the truck to skid out of control. The system works by rapidly pulsing the brakes, preventing the wheels from locking up and allowing the driver to steer around obstacles while braking. In addition to ABS, RAM trucks are equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC). ESC helps maintain control during slippery or challenging driving conditions by automatically applying brakes to individual wheels and reducing engine power if necessary. This system is particularly valuable when driving on loose gravel, snow, or ice, where traction can be compromised. ESC helps prevent the truck from skidding or spinning out, ensuring that the driver remains in control even in difficult conditions.
Trailer Sway Control is another important feature for Monrovia drivers who frequently tow trailers. This system detects if the trailer begins to sway and automatically applies brake pressure to individual wheels to bring the trailer back under control. By reducing sway, this system enhances safety when towing large or heavy loads, preventing dangerous situations that could lead to a loss of control.
Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control are also included in RAM trucks to enhance safety in hilly terrain. Hill Start Assist prevents the truck from rolling backward when starting on an incline, while Hill Descent Control maintains a controlled speed when descending steep grades, even without driver input on the brakes. These features are particularly useful for drivers who navigate hilly or mountainous terrain, providing added confidence and control.
RAM trucks are equipped with a range of active safety features that work to prevent accidents by enhancing driver awareness and control. These technologies are particularly valuable in avoiding potential collisions and ensuring safe maneuvering in various driving situations.
Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking is a critical safety feature in RAM trucks. This system continuously monitors the road ahead using radar and camera technology to detect potential frontal collisions. If the system senses an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle, it alerts the driver with visual and audible warnings. If the driver doesn’t respond in time, the system can automatically apply the brakes to reduce the severity of the impact or avoid the collision altogether. This feature is particularly useful in urban driving scenarios where sudden stops are more common, adding an extra layer of security for Monrovia drivers.
Another indispensable feature is the ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera, which provides a clear view of the area behind your RAM truck when reversing. The camera displays a live feed on the truck’s infotainment screen, complete with dynamic gridlines that help guide you into parking spaces or avoid obstacles when backing up. This is especially helpful in tight parking spots or when reversing out of driveways, ensuring that you have a full view of your surroundings and reducing the risk of accidents. For even more comprehensive parking assistance, RAM trucks offer the ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist System. This system uses ultrasonic sensors located in the front and rear bumpers to detect obstacles that may not be visible to the driver. As you approach an obstacle, the system provides audible warnings that increase in frequency as you get closer, allowing you to stop in time. In some models, the system can even take control of the steering to guide the truck into a parking space, making parallel parking and tight maneuvers easier and safer.
Maneuvering a large vehicle like a RAM truck can be challenging, especially in tight spaces or off-road conditions. That’s where the 360-Degree Surround View Camera comes into play. This feature provides a bird's-eye view of the truck and its surroundings, displayed on the infotainment screen. By combining images from multiple cameras placed around the vehicle, the system helps drivers see obstacles that may be out of sight, making it easier to navigate narrow spaces, park accurately, and avoid potential hazards. Whether you’re in a crowded parking lot or navigating through rugged terrain, the 360-degree camera offers unparalleled visibility and control. For those who frequently tow trailers, Trailer Reverse Guidance is an invaluable feature. This system assists drivers when backing up with a trailer by providing visual guidance on the infotainment screen. The system uses cameras and sensors to monitor the trailer's position and trajectory, offering steering recommendations to help you align the trailer perfectly. This feature simplifies the often daunting task of reversing with a trailer, reducing stress and ensuring that your trailer stays on the desired path.
Lastly, the Adaptive Forward Lighting System is a standout feature that enhances visibility during nighttime driving or when navigating curves. This system adjusts the direction of the headlights based on the steering angle and vehicle speed, ensuring that the road ahead is always well-lit. By illuminating the path around curves and bends, the system helps drivers see obstacles and potential hazards earlier, providing an added layer of safety during low-light conditions.
While active safety features are essential for preventing accidents, RAM trucks are also equipped with a range of passive safety systems designed to protect occupants in the event of a collision. These features include advanced materials, structural reinforcements, and technologies that work together to minimize injury and enhance occupant protection.
One of the foundational elements of RAM truck safety is the High-Strength Steel Frame. Constructed with high-strength steel, the frame is designed to absorb and distribute impact energy in the event of a collision, protecting the passenger compartment from severe damage. This robust construction not only contributes to the overall durability of the truck but also plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of all occupants by maintaining the integrity of the cabin during an accident. Complementing the strong frame is the Multiple Airbag System found in RAM trucks. This system includes front airbags for the driver and front passenger, side curtain airbags that extend the length of the cabin, and seat-mounted side airbags. These airbags are strategically placed to provide maximum protection during a collision, cushioning occupants and reducing the risk of injury. The front airbags are designed with multi-stage inflation, adjusting the force of deployment based on the severity of the impact, ensuring optimal protection for all passengers.
To further enhance safety, RAM trucks feature Electronic Roll Mitigation. This system works in conjunction with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to reduce the likelihood of a rollover in certain driving situations. By monitoring the vehicle's movement and applying brakes to individual wheels when necessary, the system helps maintain stability and prevent the truck from tipping over. This is particularly important for Monrovia drivers who may encounter uneven terrain or sudden maneuvers that could increase the risk of a rollover.
Trailer Sway Control is another critical feature for those who tow trailers. This system automatically detects trailer sway and applies brake pressure to individual wheels to stabilize both the truck and the trailer. By reducing sway, this feature enhances safety during towing, especially at higher speeds or in windy conditions. Monrovia drivers who frequently tow heavy loads will appreciate the added control and confidence this system provides.
When driving in hilly terrain, features like Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control offer significant benefits. Hill Start Assist prevents the truck from rolling backward when starting on an incline, giving drivers time to move their foot from the brake to the accelerator without losing ground. Hill Descent Control, on the other hand, maintains a controlled speed when descending steep grades, even without driver input on the brakes. These features are particularly valuable for off-road adventures or when navigating the hilly landscapes around Monrovia, providing added safety and control.
A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is also included in RAM trucks to alert drivers if a tire is underinflated. Proper tire pressure is crucial for maintaining traction, handling, and fuel efficiency. By notifying the driver of low tire pressure, the TPMS helps prevent blowouts and other tire-related incidents, contributing to overall safety on the road.
Beyond the active and passive safety systems, RAM trucks offer a range of additional features that enhance security and convenience for drivers. These features are designed to protect the vehicle from theft, improve visibility in varying conditions, and ensure that drivers have the tools they need to stay safe on the road.
Remote Keyless Entry with Security Alarm is a standard feature in many RAM trucks, providing convenient access to the vehicle while also helping to deter theft. With this system, drivers can lock and unlock their truck from a distance, ensuring that the vehicle is secure before they walk away. The integrated security alarm activates if an unauthorized entry is detected, providing an added layer of protection against theft.
Driving at night or in low-light conditions is made safer with Automatic High-Beam Headlamps. This system automatically switches between high and low beams based on surrounding lighting conditions and the presence of other vehicles. By ensuring that the road ahead is always properly illuminated without blinding other drivers, this feature enhances visibility and reduces the risk of accidents.
Finally, Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers are another convenience and safety feature that RAM trucks offer. These wipers automatically adjust their speed based on the intensity of the rainfall, ensuring that the windshield remains clear without the driver needing to manually adjust the wiper settings. This allows drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and their attention on the road, even in changing weather conditions.
