The 2008 Chrysler Town & Country, Chrysler
Pacifica, Dodge Caliber, Dodge Nitro, Jeep® Liberty, Jeep ® Grand
Cherokee, and Dodge Grand Caravan received the U. S. government’s
highest safety ratings for frontal- and side-impact crash protection
from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
“Through a broad range of engineering
technologies, Chrysler is offering its customers the safety they
expect and deserve,” said Frank Klegon, Executive Vice President –
Product Development, Chrysler LLC. “Both passive and active safety
systems enhance the inherent stability and safety we design into all
of our Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles.”
When it comes to safety, Chrysler employs a
twofold approach: conventional features such as pretensioning and
load-limiting seat belt retractors and supplemental air bags are
combined with accident-avoidance features including improved
steering, handling and braking.
