The 2020 Ram 1500 Brings Both Active and Passive Safety Systems to Calgary, AB

Blind Spot Monitoring
Forward Collision Warning
The 2020 Ram 1500 also offers Forward Collision Warning. This intuitive system protects against inattentive driving by alerting the motorist when they are in danger of hitting a vehicle in front of them (sensors detect changing traffic patterns and can assess when acceleration should be adjusted). If no actions are taken, automatic brake application will then occur to lessen the chance of an impact.
Airbag Coverage
The Ram 1500 features six standard airbags. The multi-stage front and seat-mounted units deploy to cushion those in the front row; while riders in the rear can rely on side curtain options, which inflate between the bench and the windows. This affords comprehensive support, with the system utilizing adaptive venting functionality to reduce impact friction and cradle passengers in the wake of a crash.
Stability and Traction
The Ram 1500 is anchored by both Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and rain brake support. These systems apply controlled traction as terrain conditions change - with advanced sensors identifying a loss of friction among the tires. This creates a balanced stance on the highway and the backroads, and it allows the truck to negate unwanted wheel-spin. Achieve smooth handling in Calgary.
Smart Cruise Control
The Ram 1500 has available Adaptive Cruise Control. This system allows drivers to pre-select a distance ratio when traveling in stop-and-go conditions. It will then use data from all available sensors to slow or accelerate the truck autonomously to maintain this defined gap. This helps to create a smoother experience (although, the operator can override these settings as needed by applying the brakes).
