Ram 1500 Safety Features

The Ram 1500 complements its strong crash-test performance with a comprehensive suite of standard and available driver-assistance technologies designed to help increase awareness and support safer driving.

Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking monitors traffic ahead and can alert you if a potential collision is detected. If necessary, the system can automatically apply the brakes to help reduce the severity of an impact or avoid one altogether.

Blind Spot Monitoring helps detect vehicles traveling in hard-to-see areas beside the truck and provides visual alerts when another vehicle enters your blind zone.

Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist monitors lane markings and can alert you if the truck begins drifting from its lane. In certain situations, the system may provide steering assistance to help guide the vehicle back toward the center of the lane.

Rear Automatic Braking can detect obstacles behind the vehicle while reversing and automatically apply the brakes if a collision appears imminent.

For added convenience on longer drives, Adaptive Cruise Control can automatically maintain a preset following distance from the vehicle ahead, helping reduce driver workload during highway travel.

Together, these advanced safety and driver-assistance technologies help make the Ram 1500 one of the most confidence-inspiring trucks on the road.
