RAM 1500 FEATURES/FUNCTIONS CUSTOMER BENEFIT

STANDARD SAFETY/SECURITY FEATURES

• Two-fold approach involving active and passive features:

• Active safety and security items help drivers avoid accidents with features such

as Electronic Stability Control (see below for speciﬁc ESC subsystems)

• Passive safety and security items help protect occupants in the event

of a crash, with features such as advanced multi-stage driver and front-

passenger air bags with knee bolsters, supplemental side-curtain air bags and

supplemental seat-mounted pelvic-thorax side air bags

• Ready-alert braking

• All-speed traction control

• Electronic Roll Mitigation

• Trailer Sway Damping

• Hill Start Assist

• Deliver one of the most comprehensive safety and

security packages in the segment

• Contribute to a new level of conﬁdence and peace

of mind behind the wheel

ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

• Monitors and compares wheel speed to vehicle speed

• Automatically modulates brake pressure during hard braking to prevent

wheel lockup

• Provides improved steering control under extreme

braking and/or slippery conditions

BRAKE ASSIST

• Overcomes the tendency of not applying the brakes hard enough in an

emergency braking situation by using the ESC system to instantly apply the

maximum available brake pressure

• A component of the ESC system

• Helps vehicle stop sooner in emergency situations

by reacting faster than the driver is able to in

applying maximum brake pedal pressure

• Helps provide the shortest possible stopping

distance in emergency braking situations

ELECTRONIC ROLL MITIGATION

• Monitors the driver’s steering wheel input and the speed of the vehicle to sense

the potential for wheel lift

• Detects when the sudden buildup of lateral force during a severe turn or evasive

maneuver can cause the vehicle to start to tip

• Applies the brakes with a high burst of pressure to cause the outside tire to slip

and the vehicle’s weight to transfer back over the inside tires and helps keep all

four tires solidly on the ground

• A component of the ESC system

• Provides an enhancement to the Electronic Stability

Control system to help reduce the likelihood of a

vehicle side rollover

• Reduces the chance of a rollover in sudden

maneuvers and evasive events

• Provides additional security and conﬁdence by

keeping all four tires solidly on the ground

• Especially useful in vehicles with a higher centre

of mass

HILL START ASSIST

• Enhancement to ESC

• Automatically maintains brake pressure when driver releases the brake pedal

while driving uphill

• Prevents vehicle rollback on a steep grade when the driver is transitioning from

the brake to the accelerator

• Allows the driver time to transition from brake to

throttle to achieve smooth launch on grade

• Contributes to ease of use and safety by preventing

vehicle rollback on steep grades
