Jeep started off 2018 with a bang with their new Jeep Compass earning a Top Safety Pick designation from the IIHS. Check out these three safety features that make the Jeep Compass one of the safest cars on the road.
A Full Airbag System to Protect You
The Jeep Compass is equipped with one of the most sophisticated airbag systems. It includes seven airbags that surround the car, protecting the driver as well as the passengers in any type of collision. Both the driver and passenger side airbags are equipped with a three-vent system to ensure people are both protected no matter their height and weight. The rest of the airbag system includes front and rear head airbags as well as side airbags, limiting the impact on a passenger’s body.
A Reinforced High Steel Frame to Shield Occupants
The Jeep Compass was engineered to protect the passengers with a cocoon-like shield for extra protection from impact. The vehicle was engineered with a high-steel frame combined with other materials and equipped with side beams to provide the strength the vehicle needs to withstand a hard impact.
A Suite of Safety Detection Systems
While the Jeep Compass offers both drivers and passenger protection in an accident, it also provides owners with a range of safety detection systems to help improve your safety while driving and help you avoid an accident. Some of the systems the Compass can be equipped with include:
- Rear Backup Camera – The rear backup camera will help you avoid objects when backing up as well as assist you in parking.
- Rain-sensing Windshield Wipers – Your wipers will automatically start when rain is detected and will adjust their speed to make sure you have a clear view while driving.
- Automatic Headlamps – Automatic headlamps will come on when darkness is detected to brighten your path.
- Electronic Stability Control System – This system will detect the conditions of the road and make adjustments to speed, braking, and torque to deliver the control you need to keep your vehicle moving in the right direction.
- Blind Spot Monitoring – The Blind Spot Monitoring detection system allows you to change lanes and make turns more safely by providing an indication if there is an object located within your blind spot so you can adjust to avoid it.
- Rear Cross Path Detection – With rear cross path detection, you will be alerted to cars crossing behind you when attempting to back out of a spot or pull forward with limited visibility.
- Daytime Running Lights – Not only is it important for you to see other vehicles on the road, but it is vital for them to see you as well. Daytime running lights keep you visible even in inclement weather.
