Accident Avoidance

During extreme steering manoeuvres the Electronic Stability Control^[1] (ESC) system helps maintain control by sensing when the vehicle is starting to over- or understeer. The system automatically applies individual brakes or controls the throttle to help you stay safely on course.

Not all roads are paved or smooth. Wrangler's four-wheel Antilock Brake System (ABS) has a unique rough road detection system that has a special program to assist in stopping performance on gravel or dirt roads.

All-speed Traction Control has a special set of calibrations specifically for driving in 4WD 4LO. To help crawl over obstacles and during heavy articulation activity, it applies the brakes more aggressively and for a longer duration for enhanced traction.

In a panic brake condition, Wrangler's Brake Assist system applies maximum braking power, providing the shortest possible stopping distance.

Electronic Roll Mitigation^[1] (ERM) uses innovative motion sensors that determine when a rollover may occur and applies braking force to the correct wheel or wheels to reduce the likelihood of such an accident.

Anticipating the need for additional traction, all of Wrangler's four-wheel drive systems automatically respond to wheel slippage and improve vehicle stability.


[1] No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESC warning lamp flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behaviour to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always wear your seat belt.
