What was the most surprising about the 2012 Chrysler Town & Country was not the storage space or the entertainment system, but the 42 safety and technology features that come standard. Of course, there is comfort in knowing the Town & Country is equipped with supplemental side-curtain, advanced multistage front, and front seat-mounted side airbags, but the innovative technological safety features are even more impressive.

At one time or another, everyone has had trouble with blind spots, but the Blind Spot Monitoring is a radar technology that will alert you of proximity danger while you drive. An illuminated icon appears on the side view mirror (or you can choose to hear an audible warning) when another vehicle is next to you. Furthermore, the Rear Cross Path Detection will alert you of approaching low-speed vehicles when backing out of a parking spot. This is perfect for places like the grocery store parking lot on a busy afternoon or a theme park parking lot on the weekend.

Additionally, the Parkview Rear Back-Up Camera operates through the Uconnect Media Center. Not only does it display an accurate visual reference of what is behind the car, it includes on-screen static guidelines that help orient you when backing up. This is especially helpful when backing into a tight parking space. The Parksense Rear Park Assist uses radar technology to detect most obstacles that are behind your car and gives you visual and audible alerts to notify you.

The sliding doors also have great security features. The passenger sliding door won’t slide open while the fuel filler door is still open. Also, the hazard lamps will flash when the sliding door is open which signals to the driver that passengers could be entering or exiting the vehicle.

Also, there are safety features that the 2012 Chrysler Town & Country has that are especially helpful for long trips or weekend getaways. For example, the tire pressure monitoring display visually represents the pressure for each individual tire. Also, the electronically stability control includes brake assist and all-speed traction control.

Not only are does the 2012 Chrysler Town & Country come equipped with the standard safety features of a secure minivan but it also is outfitted with highly innovative and advanced technological safety features. These features will give you comfort in knowing that you and your passengers are safe on each and every drive in the minivan.
