<blockquote><div><p>"Yeah, you’d want one. Maybe even sell a vital organ for experimental medicine for one. Certainly cash-in your kids’ college fund to put one in your garage.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, you’re not alone. When Dodge announced there’d be an initial, limited run of 6,400 Challenger SRT8s for the ’08 model year, they sold out before you could say “Eat My Mustang.”</p>
<p>And why wouldn’t you lust after this piece of throbbing, tire-fricasseeing, Hemi-powered American muscle? Especially when it comes with a 6.1-liter pushrod V8 up front delivering 425 horses and a whole hunka burnin’ torque."</p></div></blockquote>

<a href="http://www.scribd.com/full/2887271?access_key=key-kktx3h5pbnodtasgr60" target="_blank">Let's Refuel America Program Information</a>
</div>
<p><ul>
    <li>&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s Refuel America&rdquo; available throughout the U.S. exclusively at Chrysler, Jeep&reg; and Dodge dealerships through June 2, 2008 </li>
    <li>Three-year price protection from volatile gas prices available on compact, mid-size and full-size models, minivans, crossovers and pickup truck models </li>
    <li>Seventy-six percent of customers cite rising gas prices as &ldquo;top concern&rdquo; </li>
</ul></p>
<p>In response to direct customer feedback citing the prospect of rising gas prices as a top concern, Chrysler LLC today announces its own economic stimulus package: an exclusive gas price protection policy that eliminates the risk of further spikes in fuel prices. With the purchase of eligible Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles, customers can enroll in the &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s Refuel America&rdquo; program and receive a gas card that immediately lowers their gas price to $2.99 a gallon, and keeps it there for three years. The offer is available through June 2, 2008, and is available on vehicles ranging from popular new compacts, crossovers and minivans to full-size diesel-powered pickup trucks.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Today we are proud to introduce an unprecedented program to help put customers&rsquo; minds at ease and do something to help working people who are worried about the volatility of fuel prices and vehicle cost of ownership,&rdquo; said Jim Press, Vice-Chairman and President, Chrysler LLC. &ldquo;The Let&rsquo;s Refuel America Price Guarantee puts money in your pocket today, and allows our customers to better manage their fuel expenses. And you can't get it anywhere else besides a Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge dealership.&rdquo; </p>
<p>The Let&rsquo;s Refuel America program offers consumers a combination of the fuel price protection program and additional bonus cash up to $3,000 on available vehicles, including Chrysler PT Cruiser, Dodge Charger, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Dakota and Dodge Ram. </p>
<p><strong>Consumer Economic Solutions <br />
</strong>Chrysler has a number of solutions to help our customers during these tough economic times. &ldquo;Chrysler is committed to providing the best value, and the least worries, for our customers,&rdquo; said Press. </p>
<p>Chrysler&rsquo;s lineup includes five models for under $20,000 that get 28 miles-per-gallon or better on the highway. To protect consumers from unexpected repair costs in the future, Chrysler models come with the industry&rsquo;s best powertrain warranty, covering the original owner for the life of the vehicle. And Chrysler has made a number of its most popular options standard on its New Day Package vehicles.</p>
<p><strong>Fuel Economy Solutions </strong><br />
Chrysler currently offers six models that get better than 28 miles-per-gallon on the highway: Chrysler Sebring, Chrysler Sebring Convertible, Dodge Avenger, Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot and Dodge Caliber. Through April, the six of these models combined have higher sales than in the first four months of 2007. </p>
<p>The recently-launched 2009 Dodge Journey comes with an available 173-hp four cylinder engine, helping it achieve best in class fuel economy. </p>
<p>The Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel 3.0-liter engine provides a class-leading driving range of approximately 450 miles and gets an estimated fuel economy of 18 miles/city and 23 miles/highway for 4x2 models and 17 miles/city and 22 miles/highway for 4x4 models. Outside of North America where fuel-saving diesel engines are in higher demand, Chrysler offers 17 models with diesel powertrains. </p>
<p>This fall, Chrysler will launch in the United States, two new hybrid SUVs, the Dodge Durango Hybrid and Chrysler Aspen Hybrid, boasting a fuel economy improvement of more than 25 percent overall, and 40 percent in the city. In 2010, the Dodge Ram Hybrid will reach the market. </p>
<p>Chrysler is currently in the midst of a $3 billion powertrain investment offensive to develop new fuel-efficient powertrains and axles for our next-generation models. </p>
<p>Chrysler supports the federal government&rsquo;s new dramatically increased CAFE fuel economy standards, which will increase fuel efficiency by an average of 40 percent by 2020. Recently, Chrysler joined the US Climate Action Partnership, working to find solutions to global greenhouse gas emissions. </p>
<p><strong>Customer Advisory Board <br />
</strong>In February, Chrysler created the industry&rsquo;s first Customer Advisory Board to encourage a direct dialogue with customers and gather insight and feedback. A recent Advisory Board survey generated the following results:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
    <li>76 percent of the community is &quot;very concerned&quot; or &quot;extremely concerned&quot; about fuel prices. </li>
    <li>83 percent of the community responded that fuel prices will affect their summer vacation plans. <br />
    (Note: the poll shows that 19 percent responded &quot;extremely&quot;, 22 percent responded &quot;very much&quot;, 30 percent responded &quot;somewhat&quot;, and 12 percent responded slightly, 17 percent responded that it won't affect their plans.) </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Program Description <br />
</strong>The Let&rsquo;s Refuel America gas card program works when a customer purchases a new and unused Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge vehicle and selects the program in lieu of other available incentives. The customer is provided with the registration process documentation and registers providing their required personal information via the dedicated web site or toll-free 800 number. Once registered, the customer receives their gas card and separately, their Personal Identification Number (PIN) within 4 to 6 weeks of application. The customer then swipes their Let&rsquo;s Refuel America Gas Card at an eligible gas station, selecting up to 87 octane regular, E85 fuel or diesel fuel, and enters their PIN to begin the fueling process. After the fuel transaction occurs, the customer&rsquo;s personal credit card (identified in the registration process) is charged $2.99 per gallon. </p>

 <title><![CDATA[President Bush Signs the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008]]></title>
 <link>http://www.swiftweblog.com/index.php?itemid=717</link>
<description><![CDATA[<blockquote><div>"Congress passed a really good piece of legislation, and they did so in a very expeditious manner. The bill I'm signing today is large enough to have an impact -- amounting to more than $152 billion this year, or about 1 percent of GDP. The bill provides temporary tax incentives for businesses to make investments in their companies so that we create new jobs this year. The bill provides individual tax relief in the form of tax rebates. These rebates will amount to as much as $600 for individuals and $1,200 for married couples, with additional rebates for families with children. "</div></blockquote>

<a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/02/20080213-3.html">President Bush Signs H.R. 5140, the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008</a>
<p></p>
<p>The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 provides a significant tax incentive for businesses to purchase automobiles this year. Specifically, the legislation’s “bonus” depreciation provision allows taxpayers to claim significantly larger first-year deductions for 2008 purchases of passenger vehicles, trucks and SUV’s. The rules are complex and any business owner should consult with his/her tax advisor prior to making a decision.</p>
<p>The legislation allows businesses to claim an additional 50% first-year deduction for purchases of qualifying property in 2008. Automobiles of all types are generally treated as qualifying property. Vehicles not subject to the “luxury” auto deduction limits (generally, vehicles with GVWR over 6,000 lbs.) are eligible for the full 50% bonus depreciation benefit.</p>
<p>For vehicles subject to the “luxury” auto limits (vehicles with GVWR up to 6,000 lbs.), the legislation also provides a significant incentive for purchases in 2008. The maximum first-year deduction is increased from $3,060 to $11,060.</p>

<p>We encourage our business customers contact their tax advisors and take advantage of this federal stimulus measure.</p>

&ldquo;Chrysler has always been known as an engineering company, and the announcement of these features coming to our lineup in 2009 further drives that point home,&rdquo; said Frank Klegon, Executive Vice President &ndash; Product Development, Chrysler LLC. &ldquo;In today&rsquo;s market, Chrysler&rsquo;s mission is to bring innovation to market more quickly, ultimately resulting in more customer satisfaction and convenience. Each of these unique Chrysler technologies delivers on that mission.&rdquo; <br />
<br />
Included in the new technologies are an in-vehicle wireless Internet connectivity system, Rear Cross Path and Blind Spot Monitoring systems, a uniquely combined active transfer case and front-axle disconnect system, and a host of in-vehicle connectivity and entertainment systems that offer added customer benefit and convenience. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>In-vehicle wireless Internet connectivity</u></strong> <br />
Chrysler is diligently working on an advanced, in-vehicle wireless system to provide increased security and convenience far beyond anything available today. The system will provide high-speed data transfer and convenience, combining WiFi and 4G connectivity for a new level of wireless technology. <br />
<br />
This system will transform the vehicle into a &ldquo;hot spot&rdquo; to deliver Internet and e-mail access, and movie and music download capability directly to the vehicle. <br />
<br />
While Chrysler will offer this technology in future model-year vehicles, an aftermarket in-vehicle &ldquo;hot-spot&rdquo; wireless Internet capability is planned through Mopar&reg; in 2008. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Rear Cross Path <br />
</u></strong>An industry exclusive, Chrysler&rsquo;s Rear Cross Path system warns drivers who are backing out of parking spaces of traffic moving toward their vehicle, but outside the driver&rsquo;s field of vision. Drivers are notified of vehicle(s) crossing behind their vehicle via an illuminated icon on the sideview mirror, and with an audible chime. Rear Cross Path operates any time the vehicle is in Reverse. <br />
<br />
Rear Cross Path will be available on the 2009 Chrysler Town &amp; Country and Dodge Grand Caravan. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Blind Spot Monitoring</u></strong> <br />
Chrysler&rsquo;s Blind Spot Monitoring system aids drivers when changing lanes if being passed by vehicles or when vehicles are positioned in the blind spot zone. Drivers are notified of a potential hazard via an illuminated icon on the sideview mirror, and if the turn signal is operated, an audible chime can act as an additional warning. Blind Spot Monitoring &ndash; which uses dual ultra-wideband radar sensors &ndash; is active any time the vehicle is moving forward. <br />
<br />
Blind Spot Monitoring will be available on the 2009 Chrysler Town &amp; Country and Dodge Grand Caravan. No other minivan on the market offers this technology. <br />

<br />
<strong><u>Active Transfer Case and Front-axle Disconnect <br />
</u></strong>No other major manufacturer offers these two independent technologies together. In doing so, Chrysler&rsquo;s unique system seamlessly transitions between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive with no driver intervention. When all-wheel-drive is not required, the system automatically disconnects the front axle and opens the transfer case from the drivetrain to reduce friction and rotational mass. The system provides optimal traction, performance, safety and an improvement in fuel economy of one mile per gallon. <br />
<br />
Chrysler&rsquo;s combined active transfer case and front-axle disconnect system will be available on the 2009 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Rear-seat Swivel Screen</u></strong> <br />
Already featuring the industry&rsquo;s most capable and sophisticated rear-seat entertainment system, Chrysler enhances its system for 2009 with an exclusive swivel third-row screen to allow passengers facing to the rear of the vehicle, via Chrysler&rsquo;s Swivel &lsquo;n Go&trade; seating system, to view the screen. <br />
<br />
Chrysler&rsquo;s Vehicle Entertainment System includes dual DVD players and screens that deliver a variety of programming choices, with ports to connect games and portable media players. The driver and front-seat passenger have the ability to access all video sources on the front-passenger screen. <br />

<br />
Chrysler continues to offer exclusive SIRIUS Backseat TV: live family TV programming delivered directly to the vehicle. <br />
<br />
The exclusive Chrysler third-row rear-seat swivel screen is available on the 2009 Chrysler Town &amp; Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, while the Chrysler Vehicle Entertainment System is available on the 2009 Chrysler Aspen, 300, Sebring, Jeep&reg; Grand Cherokee, Commander and Dodge Durango, Charger, Ram, Journey, Avenger and Nitro. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Enhanced voice-activated in-vehicle communications system</u></strong> <br />
Chrysler&rsquo;s UConnect&reg; Bluetooth&reg; hands-free system recognizes more than 100,000 words and is capable of learning new words. Voice commands can input addresses to the navigation system, select satellite radio stations and access voice mail. <br />
<br />
New for 2009, the hands-free system automatically downloads up to 1,000 phone book entries per phone. The enhanced 2009 Chrysler voice-activated system is available on the 2009 Chrysler Aspen, 300, Sebring, Town &amp; Country, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Commander, Liberty, Patriot, Compass and Dodge Grand Caravan, Charger, Challenger, Nitro, Durango, Dakota, Ram, Caliber, Avenger and Journey. <br />
<br />
Full iPod&reg; integration into the audio system also is available on the 2009 Chrysler Town &amp; Country, 300, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Commander, Compass, Patriot and Dodge Grand Caravan, Challenger, Charger and Journey. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Knowledge Based Engineering</u></strong> <br />
In addition to the host of new innovations offered on 2009 Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles, Chrysler&rsquo;s product development team has created its unique Knowledge Based Engineering system to speed vehicle development time. Using the company&rsquo;s proprietary software, engineering data and knowledge, engineers were able to develop the all-new Dodge Challenger in just 21 months, chopping several months off the normal vehicle development time. <br />
<br />
The Knowledge Based Engineering process is now in widespread use at Chrysler, with a goal of speeding development time on all future Chrysler vehicles. <br />

 <title><![CDATA[Customized Jeep Vehicles and Dodge Trucks at Moab Jeep Safari 2008 ]]></title>
 <link>http://www.swiftweblog.com/index.php?itemid=713</link>
<description><![CDATA[
&ldquo;Jeep engineering has been coming to Moab for years. Mopar is at Moab&nbsp;to test, evaluate and prove the authenticity of our Mopar Performance Parts for Jeep vehicles and Dodge trucks on the most grueling off-road trails in Moab,&rdquo; said Simon Boag, President &ndash; Service &amp; Parts/Mopar, Chrysler LLC. Mopar is Chrysler LLC&rsquo;s original equipment parts manufacturer and supplier. <br />
<br />
Boag added, &ldquo;We wanted our core off-road customers to talk about their vehicle usage so we can address their unmet needs and identify emerging product trends to better support their off-road adventures. Mopar prepped several vehicles for Moab Jeep Safari to gauge consumer feedback and reaction.&rdquo; <br />
<br />
Overseen by Ralph Gilles, Vice President of Jeep/Truck &amp; CFM Design, Chrysler LLC, the Mopar Underground design team has been customizing production vehicles since its creation in 2002. The Mopar Underground design team creates vehicle concepts meant to develop performance parts, accessories and customization as well as new vehicle concepts. In fact, the first-generation SRT4 was born from this team&rsquo;s style initiative. <br />
<br />
&ldquo;Our diverse team which changes frequently has been developing SEMA concepts for more than five years. It&rsquo;s the usual &lsquo;enthusiast&rsquo; suspects from our union shops [plastic, paint, metal and wood], Product Design Office, SRT and Mopar Performance Parts and engineering,&rdquo; said Gilles. <br />
<br />
&ldquo;We try to push the boundaries of conventional thinking&mdash;customizing with no limits to creative expression and freedom, just the power to imagine. We want to build customized concept vehicles that flex the potential in our platforms, show that Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles are indeed designed for customization and keep the Mopar spirit and passion alive,&rdquo; said Gilles.
<p><strong>Vehicle Customization Industry</strong></p>
<ul>
    <li>The 2007 Jeep Wrangler was named one of the most accessory-friendly vehicles by SEMA members </li>
    <li>According to a Foresight Research report conducted last year [commissioned by SEMA's Research and Information Center], more than 1,700 full-size truck owners revealed that 50 percent had spent or planned to spend $500 or more on accessories&mdash;with a high of 63 percent for Dodge Ram owners (most likely to accessorize). And 20 percent of that group said they bought their trucks at a particular dealership because of the availability of accessories </li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Jeep&reg; Wrangler &ldquo;Rubicon&reg; King&rdquo;</strong> <br />
An amplification of Jeep's most capable off-road machine. Taking full advantage of the 4:1 ratio Rock-Trac transfer case and Tru-Lok-equipped Dana 44 axles, the JK Rubicon King utilizes massive BF Goodrich 37 x 12.50-17 TA Krawler tires mounted on Hutchinson beadlock wheels from Mopar. Superlift Suspension provided the 4-in. lift for extra ground clearance. Warn-supplied the new 9.0 RC Rock Crawling Winch. Featuring a six-speed transmission, power is provided by the 3.8-liter V-6 engine under the hood. <br />
<br />
Custom features include relocation of the spare tire where the back seat used to reside, fender flares and grille trimmed for extreme clearance, trick lighting, military spec tow shackles and radio delete plate. Other features include American Expedition vehicle's new heat-reduction hood and rear corner guards.</p>
<p>The &ldquo;JK Rubicon King&rdquo; premiered at the 2006 SEMA Show and traversed the trails at Moab Jeep Safari 2007.</p>
<p><strong>Jeep&reg; Wrangler JT</strong> <br />
Built from the military version of the all new Jeep Wrangler, the Jeep Wrangler JT showcases just how flexible this new platform can be. Revealed at the Moab Jeep Safari 2007, the JT dominated the steep climbs and descents on the slopes of the Hell&rsquo;s Revenge trail. Its 4x4 capability was established as it negotiated the slick hot tubs and waterfalls &ndash; at times, almost completely vertical to the ground. <br />
<br />
Beginning with the new 116-in. wheelbase platform for the Wrangler Unlimited, the design team managed to create a very nimble, trail-savvy Jeep with a 5-ft. pickup bed and an easy-to-handle removable hardtop. Power is provided by its 3.8-liter V-6 engine. <br />

<br />
<strong>70 Years of Mopar</strong> <br />
When Chrysler bought Dodge in 1928, the need for a dedicated parts manufacturer, supplier and distribution system to support the growing enterprise led to the formation of the Chrysler Motor Parts Corporation (CMPC) in 1929. <br />
<br />
Originally used in the 1920s, Mopar (a simple contraction of the words MOtor and PARts) was trademarked for a line of antifreeze products in 1937. It was also widely used as a moniker for the CMPC. The Mopar brand made its mark in the 1960s &ndash; the muscle car era. The Chrysler Corporation built race-ready Dodge and Plymouth &ldquo;package cars&rdquo; equipped with special high-performance parts. Mopar carried a line of &ldquo;Special Parts&rdquo; for super stock drag racers and developed its racing parts division called Mopar Performance Parts to enhance speed and handling for both road and racing use. <br />
<br />
Today, Chrysler&rsquo;s Global Service and Parts division is responsible for the manufacturing and distribution of nearly 250,000 authentic Mopar replacement parts, components and accessories for Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles sold around the world. To assure quality, reliability and durability, all Mopar parts and accessories are designed in strict adherence to Chrysler engineering standards.</p>]]></description>

 <title><![CDATA[2009 Dodge Journey Earns Top Safety Ratings]]></title>
 <link>http://www.swiftweblog.com/index.php?itemid=712</link>
<description><![CDATA[
<p><ul>
    <li>Five-star Front- and Side-Impact Ratings Accentuate Chrysler LLC&rsquo;s Commitment to Safety and Security&nbsp; </li>
    <li>Dodge Journey Offers More Than 35 Safety and Security Features <br />
    </li>
</ul></p>
<p>The all-new 2009 Dodge Journey earned 5-star ratings for driver- and front-passenger protection in a frontal crash along with 5-star driver and rear passenger ratings for side impact protection, the highest ratings in the U.S. government&rsquo;s safety crash test program. The all-new 2009 Dodge Journey is now available at local Dodge dealers. <br />
<br />
&ldquo;The all-new 2009 Dodge Journey features the latest in safety and security features providing our customers the peace of mind they want and expect&rdquo;, said Larry Lyons, Vice President &ndash; Car and Minivan Product Team. &ldquo;Safety is a top priority and the Dodge Journey delivers with advance multi-stage front driver and passenger air bags, front-seat-mounted thorax air bags, all-row supplemental side-curtain air bags and a mid-size crossover first integrated child booster seat.&rdquo; <br />
<br />
When it comes to safety and security, Dodge Journey employs a two-fold approach: conventional features including pretensioning and load-limiting seat belt retractors and supplemental air bags are combined with accident-avoidance features including an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) and Brake Assist. <br />
<br />
</p><p>
<strong>More than 35 Safety and Security Features <br />
</strong>The all-new 2009 Dodge Journey offers more than 35 safety and security features including: <br />
<br />
<strong>Advanced multi-stage air bags:</strong> Uses a Low-risk Deployment Air Bag for the front passenger. <br />
<br />
<strong>All-speed Traction Control:</strong> Senses drive-wheel slip and applies individual brakes to a slipping wheel(s), and can reduce excess engine power until traction is regained. <br />
<br />
<strong>Anti-lock Brake System (ABS):</strong> Senses and prevents wheel lockup, offering improved steering control under extreme braking and/or slippery conditions. <br />
<br />
<strong>Anti-lock Brake System with rough road detection:</strong> Anti-lock brake system capable of detecting if the vehicle is driving on a rough road by the oscillations in the wheel speed signals. Rough road is detected on off-road surfaces or trails, and ABS enters a different pressure control where it will hold the brake pressure for longer pulses. <br />
<br />
<strong>Auto-reverse sun roof:</strong> Advanced sensing system that automatically engages and reverses the sun roof (to the open position). <br />
<br />
<strong>Auto-reverse windows:</strong> Automatically engages and reverses the window (to the down position). <br />
<br />
<strong>BeltAlert:</strong> Periodically activates a chime and illuminates an icon in the instrument cluster to remind the driver and front passenger to buckle up if a vehicle is driven without the driver being properly belted. <br />
<br />
<strong>Brake Assist:</strong> In a panic brake condition, the system applies maximum braking power, providing the shortest possible stopping distance. <br />
<br />
<strong>Brake/Park interlock:</strong> Prevents an automatic transmission or transaxle from being shifted out of Park unless the brake pedal is applied. <br />
<br />
<strong>Brake Traction Control System (BTCS):</strong> Helps to keep driving wheels from spinning during acceleration from a stop or during slow speeds by applying individual brakes to the slipping wheel(s). <br />
<br />
<strong>Child seat anchor system:</strong> LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) is designed to ease installation of compatible aftermarket child seats. <br />
<br />
<strong>Child-protection rear door locks:</strong> Disables the rear doors&rsquo; inside-release handle via a small lever on the door-shut face. <br />
<br />
<strong>Constant Force Retractors (CFR):</strong> Distribute force or load exerted on a seat belt, and then gradually release the seat-belt webbing in a controlled manner. <br />
<br />
<strong>Crumple zones:</strong> Designed to compress during an accident to absorb energy from an impact, decreasing transfer of that energy to the occupants. <br />
<br />
<strong>Digressive load-limiting seat belts:</strong> Retractor senses a vehicle impact and immediately applies a load to the seat belt to properly position the occupant before the full load from the vehicle impact is imparted onto the occupant. It then reduces the seat belt load to moderate forces imparted onto the occupant during the impact event. <br />
<br />
<strong>Electronic brake force distribution:</strong> Adjusts braking pressure front to rear, based on weight distribution of passengers and cargo, to minimize brake dive during hard braking. <br />
<br />
<strong>Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM):</strong> An extension of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP). Uses input from the ESP sensors to anticipate if the vehicle is at risk of entering a potential roll situation, then reacts immediately, applying the brakes individually and modulating throttle position as needed to attempt avoiding the roll situation. <br />
<br />
<strong>Electronic Stability Program (ESP):</strong> Enhances driver control and helps maintain directional stability under all conditions. Provides the greatest benefit in critical driving situations such as turns, and is especially valuable when driving on mixed surface conditions such as snow, ice or gravel. If there&rsquo;s a discernible difference between what the driver asks through the steering wheel and the vehicle&rsquo;s path, ESP applies selective braking and throttle input to put the vehicle back onto the driver&rsquo;s intended path. <br />
<br />
<strong>Energy-absorbing steering column:</strong> The manual-telescoping steering column utilizes two hydroformed coaxial tubes that can move relative to each other to allow the column to move forward for enhanced energy-absorption during a crash. <br />
<br />
<strong>Enhanced Accident Response System (EARS):</strong> Makes it easier for emergency personnel to see and reach occupants in the event of an accident by turning on the interior lighting and unlocking the doors after air bag deployment. Also shuts off the flow of fuel to the engine. <br />
<br />
<strong>Height-adjustable front seat belts:</strong> Allows occupants to raise and lower the shoulder belt. Encourages seat belt usage by offering a more comfortable fit. <br />
<br />
<strong>HomeLink universal home security system transceiver:</strong> Stores three separate transmitter radio-frequency codes to operate garage-door openers, security gates, security lighting or other radio-controlled devices. <br />
<br />
<strong>Integrated child booster seats:</strong> For children up to 4-foot 9-inches tall and between 48-pounds raise the child into the adult belted zone <br />
<br />
<strong>Interior head-impact protection:</strong> Interior pillars above the beltline and instrument panel, including areas around windshield and rear window headers, roof and side-rail structures, and shoulder belt turning loops specifically designed to limit head-impact force. <br />
<br />
<strong>Keyless ignition system:</strong> A fob with integrated key and a wireless ignition node with integral ignition switch replace the metal key. The double-sided integrated key is inserted into the ignition switch to start the vehicle. The fob also contains the Remote Keyless Entry and a removable valet key. <br />
<br />
<strong>Knee bolsters:</strong> The lower instrument panel and the glovebox door are designed to properly position the occupant, enabling the air bags to work effectively. <br />
<br />
<strong>Low-risk deployment air bag:</strong> Front-passenger air bag that uses unique shape, venting, folding patterns, advanced inflators or a combination of these four technologies to position and inflate the restraint properly for a belted passenger, while also meeting federal safety requirements for out-of-position, small occupants and rear-facing infant seats. Occupants are advised to always sit properly in their seats with the seat belt fastened. Children 12 years old and younger should always be seated in a back seat correctly using an infant or child restraint system, or have the seat belt positioned correctly for their age and weight. <br />
<br />
<strong>ParkView&trade; Rear Back-up Camera:</strong> Provides a wide-angle view of the area immediately behind the vehicle, giving the driver greater peace of mind before backing up. Also aids in lining up a trailer to the vehicle&rsquo;s trailer hitch, when so equipped. The image automatically displays on the navigation screen when the transmission is shifted into Reverse. <br />
Remote Keyless Entry: Locks and unlocks doors, and turns on interior lamps. If the vehicle is equipped with a vehicle-theft security alarm, the remote also arms and disarms that system. <br />
<br />
<strong>Remote start:</strong> Conveniently starts the engine from outside the vehicle by using the fob while maintaining vehicle security. <br />
<br />
<strong>Seat-belt pretensioners:</strong> During a collision, the impact sensors initiate the front seat belt pretensioners to immediately remove slack, thereby reducing the forward movement of the occupants&rsquo; heads and torsos. <br />
<br />
<strong>Sentry Key&reg; engine immobilizer:</strong> Utilizes an engine key that has an embedded transponder with a preprogrammed security code to discourage vehicle theft. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the controller sends a random number to the transponder and the engine is allowed to start. If an incorrect key is used, the engine will shut off after only a few seconds. <br />
<br />
<strong>Side-occupant protection system:</strong> Includes side-curtain air bags with extended up-time, tethers and roll-detection system that deploy in certain rollover situations and side-impact events. Utilizes information from multiple sensors to determine the severity of the impact. <br />
<br />
<strong>Supplemental side air bags:</strong> Provide enhanced protection to the driver and front outboard passenger in certain impacts. Each side air bag has its own impact sensor to autonomously trigger the air bag on the side where the impact occurs. Supplemental side air bags are housed within the outboard side of each front seat. <br />
<br />
<strong>Supplemental side-curtain air bags:</strong> Extend protection to all outboard front- and rear-seat passengers, including third-row outboard passengers in vehicles so equipped. Each side air bag has its own impact sensor to autonomously trigger the air bag on the side where the impact occurs. <br />
<br />
<strong>Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM):</strong> Informs occupants when tire pressure is too low. Pressure-sensor modules within the valve stems of all four road wheels send continuous radio-frequency signals to a receiver and the system. <br />
Trailer Sway Control (TSC): Reduces trailer sway and improves handling in adverse towing conditions caused by crosswinds and traffic. Software monitors the vehicle&rsquo;s movement relative to the driver&rsquo;s intended path, then applies brake pressure to slow the vehicle and then increases the pressure on one front wheel to counteract the sway induced by the trailer. <br />
<br />
<strong>UConnect&reg; Hands-free Communication System:</strong> Uses Bluetooth&reg; technology to provide voice-controlled wireless communication between the occupants&rsquo; compatible mobile phone and the vehicle&rsquo;s onboard receiver. The hands-free option promotes safety, freedom, value and flexibility. <br />
