October 17, 2017 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The all-new Jeep®
#compass has earned a 2017 Top
#safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute of Highway
#safety (IIHS).
The 2017 compact
#suv achieves “good” ratings in each of five
#iihs tests that evaluate crashworthiness. Its available Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) technology also earns a grade of “superior.”
Each is the highest possible
#iihs rating in its category. A Top
#safety Pick designation is contingent on such performance.
“The all-new
#jeep #compass benefits from high-strength steel content that exceeds 65 percent,” says Mike Manley, Head of
#jeep Brand – FCA Global. “This not only contributes to crashworthiness, it speaks to a level of engineering sophistication that makes this vehicle
the most capable small #suv ever.”
More than half of its high-strength steel comprises hot-stamped steel and advanced high-strength steel, indicative of a
trend that has seen FCA US increase their overall use by more than 50 percent since model-year 2012.
The 2017
#jeep #compass scored “good” ratings in tests that simulate:
- a side impact with a large #suv or pickup truck;
- a moderate-offset frontal impact;
- a small-offset frontal impact;
- roof-deformation consistent with a rollover; and
- a rear collision capable of inducing whiplash
Advanced AEB technology is a
hallmark of the
#safety strategy embraced by FCA US LLC. Accordingly, the all-new
#jeep #compass benefits from sensor-fusion technology in its available driver-assist feature, Full-speed Forward Collision Warning-Plus.
“Sensor-fusion combines the attributes of radar technology and cameras, while most competitive systems use one or the other,” says Mark Chernoby, Chief Technical Compliance Officer – Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. “This approach affords greater precision for monitoring the road ahead.”
Full-speed Forward Collision Warning-Plus is among 70
#safety and security features in the all-new 2017
#jeep #compass. Among its seven standard-equipment air bags are seat-mounted side pelvic-thorax air bags and full-length, side-curtain air bags.
