New minivan packages arrive to Sport Chrysler Jeep Dodge

Drivers stay protected and connected with latest minivan innovations

 

 

The automaker that invented the modern minivan more than twenty-six years ago continues to roll-out fresh innovations to help keep today's drivers and passengers protected and connected.

Available at Sport Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Norristown, the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan are the only minivans on the market with accident-avoidance safety features such as Rear Cross Path and Blind-spot Monitoring to warn drivers of oncoming vehicles that they might not see.

For the passengers, services from FLO TV?, SIRIUS XM Radio and Uconnect? entertain with live TV, web surfing and online gaming while on the go.

"Chrysler Group continues to up the ante for the minivan segment by anticipating the needs of our customers and their families. Safety and entertainment features are especially important for minivan buyers," said John Zawislak General Manager at Sport Chrysler Jeep Dodge. "With all of the available technology and entertainment features, the driver is more likely to hear, 'can you please drive around the block again so I can finish my show?' rather than 'are we there yet?'"

Chrysler Town & Country
Just in time for the spring "Minivan Event" at Chrysler dealerships, the new Chrysler Town & Country lineup - the premiere minivan to transport people and their belongings - just got better with 12 percent more standard horsepower and torque on the new 2010 Chrysler Town & Country LX model, while the new 2010 Chrysler Town & Country Touring "Plus" model is well equipped with an array of luxury appointments, entertainment features and safety equipment.

Dodge Grand Caravan
The Dodge Grand Caravan - the original family room on wheels with more than 26 years of unsurpassed leadership - offers customers two new performance-focused and tech-savvy minivan models, packaged with even more features that are designed to add value and meet the different lifestyle needs of every family. The 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan Hero is geared for young families seeking convenience, utility and affordability. With more power and an enhanced set of technology features, the Dodge Grand Caravan Crew model targets customers seeking the next-level performance, technology, style and value.

Following are just a few of the innovative features available that help keep customers connected and protected in the 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan.

 

Blind-spot Monitoring

Dual ultra-wideband radar sensors aid the driver when changing lanes or when being passed by or passing unseen vehicles. The system notifies the driver via illuminated icons on the side-view mirror and/or with a driver-selected audible chime.

 

Rear Cross Path (RCP)

In parking lot situations, RCP drivers backing out of parking spaces of traffic moving toward their vehicle. The driver is notified of vehicle(s) crossing behind the vehicle via an illuminated side view mirror icon and with an audible chime.

 

Parkview? Rear Back-up Camera

Using a wide-angle view of the area immediately behind the vehicle, Parkview gives the driver greater peace of mind before backing up. It also aids in lining up a trailer to the vehicle's trailer hitch, when so equipped. The image automatically displays on the navigation screen when the transmission is shifted into reverse.

 

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC enhances driver control and helps maintain directional stability under all conditions. It 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's a discernible difference between what the driver asks through the steering wheel and the vehicle's path, ESC applies selective braking and throttle input in order to guide the vehicle back onto the driver's intended path.

SmartBeam^® headlamps
Intelligent headlamp system adjusts to ambient light and oncoming traffic in order to deliver maximum lighting.

Smart Brake
Chrysler Group began implementing the smart brake in 2003. When a disagreement exists between the throttle and the brake, the brake signal causes the engine controller to reduce engine power, allowing the operator to stop the car.

Uconnect? Media Center
The innovative Uconnect Media Center offers touch screen and voice command for convenient control of the multiple media sources and outputs. Owners can create a personalized in-vehicle media experience with iPod Control^®, auxiliary jack for MP3 player input, FLO TV, SIRIUS XM Radio and SIRIUS Backseat TV. The Media Center also includes a 30-gigabyte hard drive where music, photos and voice messages can be stored via a USB port interface. In addition to navigation software and mapping, the hard drive holds approximately 2,400 songs - more than 150 hours of music. Finally, for the driver who needs efficiency, a voice-memo recorder feature allows convenient reminders up to 3 minutes long.

Uconnect? Phone
In-vehicle, voice-activated communication system allows drivers to talk on their Bluetooth compatible phones while keepings hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. The built-in phonebook sync feature automatically downloads as many as 1,000 phone book entries from supported phones, which can then be selected by simply saying their name.

Voice Command
Chrysler Group LLC's hands-free voice recognition system helps drivers keep their eyes on the road. Many features are operable using voice command, including navigation destinations. Voice command is standard with Uconnect Phone.

FLO TV?
Chrysler Group LLC is the first automaker in the United States to offer live mobile TV to consumers with the capacity for as many as 20 channels through FLO TV Auto Entertainment. The system offers something for everyone: college and professional sports, breaking news, children's shows, primetime sitcoms, reality TV and daytime dramas, including CBS Mobile, CNBC, Comedy Central, Fox News, MSNBC, MTV, NBC 2Go, Nickelodeon and more. FLO TV is available on Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram vehicles as a Mopar option.

SIRIUS Backseat TV
SIRIUS Backseat TV offers Chrysler and Dodge customers this pioneering service that delivers programming from the biggest names in family TV: Nickelodeon?, Disney Channel? and Cartoon Network Mobile? to the backseat 24/7. For added flexibility, rear-seat passengers may enjoy SIRIUS Backseat TV while front-seat occupants listen to SIRIUS XM Radio. The system may be operated from the rear-seat entertainment unit or the radio head unit. In addition, when the vehicle is in park, programming may be displayed on the Uconnect Media Center screen for front-seat viewing.

Uconnect? Web
Uconnect Web is a Mopar option that provides high-speed data transfer and flexibility, combining Wi-Fi and 3G cellular connectivity for a new level of wireless technology. The system transforms the vehicle into a "hot spot" to deliver the Internet directly to the vehicle for instant access to Web sites, e-mail, personalized music, online gaming, photo albums and more.

Uconnect? Navigation
Uconnect Navigation combines the features of a Global Positioning System (GPS), points of interest, SIRIUS Traffic and voice command. Chrysler Group LLC's voice command and touch screen allow easy operation. If the vehicle is in motion, Voice Command will recognize three languages and is capable of learning words for inputting addresses.
