Safety Features of the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica

Posted on June 22, 2017

The Chrysler Pacifica is a comfortable, upscale mini-van that's perfect for
families who want a top safety pick that offers plenty of luxury options. Here
are the most important safety features available on the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica.

Family Friendly
Safety Features

Since the Pacifica is designed specifically for families, it's no surprise
that it comes packed with features designed to keep your family safe. One of
the most important features in a family vehicle is how many car seats can fit
into it. The eight-seat Chrysler
Pacifica has five tether anchors and four lower anchors for your car seats.
This means you can fit two car seats in each row of back seats using the full set
of LATCH-system tethers for each seat.

The Pacifica also has rear door child safety locks and a front airbag that
deactivates if the sensor detects that the passenger is too small for the
airbag to safely deploy.

Accident Avoidance
Features

The Pacifica has a blind spot warning accident avoidance system that lets
you know when there is a vehicle entering your blind spot, so you can make
safer lane changes. Chrysler's Lanesense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep
Assist will safely guide you back into your lane if you've unintentionally gone
outside of it. The Pacifica also has Rear Park Assist with Cross Path Detection
that helps you maneuver more safely in tight areas with limited visibility.

For help avoiding those parking lot fender benders, the Pacifica has
parallel and perpendicular parking assistance. The vehicle will automatically
control the steering while you follow the on-screen directions for braking,
accelerating, and changing gears. Chrysler's Parallel and Perpendicular Park
Assist System is a class-exclusive feature that sets the Pacifica apart.

The ParkSense Rear Parking Assist System with Stop keeps you from having a
collision while maneuvering, and when you're in reverse the vehicle will apply
the brakes if you're about to hit something.

The FCW+ forward collision warning system will warn you if you're
approaching another vehicle too quickly, and it will apply the brakes
automatically to help you avoid an accident. 

The Pacifica mini-van also has daytime running lights, stability control, tire
pressure monitoring, four-wheel ABS, ventilated brakes, and a 360-degree camera
to give to maximum visibility.

Collision Safety
Features

The Pacifica has a post-collision safety system that can sense an impending
collision that will help protect your family if an accident happens. It can
automatically apply the brakes if it senses that the airbags are being
activated. With the Pacifica, you'll have airbags for each row of seats,
including side curtain airbags, front side airbags, and driver and front passenger
knee airbags. 

The Chrysler Pacifica is a great choice when you want cutting edge safety
technology in a roomy family vehicle, as well as upscale touches for extra
comfort. The Pacifica is a top safety pick, with one of the highest safety
ratings in its class. These are some of the key safety features of the 2018
Chrysler Pacifica that will give you peace of mind when you drive your family.
