The 2023 Jeep Wrangler Safety Features

The 2023 Jeep Wrangler is more than just a powerful way to get from A to B in and around Centerville, Ohio. While it sports an impressive 470 hp, it’s the care and attention to safety details that we’re interested in today. Its military background and rough-and-tumble approach to design and interiors may not suggest a wealth of advanced safety technology, but the Jeep continues to surprise at every turn. According to Jeep, the 2023 Wrangler has over 75 standard and available safety and security features.

Safety on the Road

Blind-spot monitoring is a useful tool when you’re on the road and something approaches a blindspot area. Once the sensors pick up the object, the vehicle will notify you. This is helpful when you want to change lanes and another car suddenly appears in your blind spot. Rear cross-path detection works in a similar way, and both use radar and sensors to alert you to possible obstructions.

Forward collision warning and active braking are designed to assist in traffic situations where you may not have enough time to respond to incidents. These technologies will assist you, however, there is no replacement for vigilance and manually checking both the road ahead and your blind spots.

The adaptive cruise control and stop-and-go technology help you during high-traffic situations where you’re expected to maintain a safe following distance.

There are also automatic high-beam headlamps to provide clarity during your ride while ensuring other drivers aren’t negatively impacted by the high beams.

Safety From the Great Outdoors

The 2023 Jeep Wrangler is as tough and rugged as you’d expect. However, some adventures can lead to dangerous situations, such as rock falls or items shooting up from the car in front of you. The windshield with Corning Gorilla glass is designed to withstand tougher situations and may reduce cracks caused by road debris.

The Wrangler’s frame is high-strength steel which absorbs some of the impact in the event of a crash. It also features seven airbags should you get into a tight situation.

The power of the 2023 Wrangler can also be a great safety hack for those who use it for trail rides and off-roading. The 470 pounds-feet of torque will make those hills and climbs seem effortless. The four-wheel-drive systems are more robust and will take more of a beating than other drivetrains. It’s not just a power play; these features can be the difference between successfully scaling some tricky terrain or getting stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Safely Connected

The advantage of intuitive technology is that you don’t have to fiddle with controls or try to find navigation tools while driving. The 7-inch driver information digital cluster display provides instant access to pertinent trip information, such as the speed, compass, and security features.

Voice command is available through the Uconnect system which features an 8.4-inch touch screen. You can also add the Uconnect 4C NAV to navigate your way. Another handy addition to the Uconnect system is the forward-facing off-road camera that picks up upcoming obstacles. This can be helpful in tough terrain where you may need to navigate through dense terrain or over rocky outcrops.

You can even connect Amazon Alexa to your Jeep and ask it to check fuel levels, start the engine, or send directions to the navigation panel.

With the SiriusXM Guardian program, you can access vital functions through your smartphone. This allows you to access features such as Send & Go, which allows you to send your destination to the navigation panel from home or the office. The program also allows you to start the engine or cool it down through your smartphone, which can save a lot of time in tricky situations. You’ll receive vehicle health reports straight to your inbox, which detail important maintenance or servicing issues that may pop up.

When you find yourself in an emergency and you don’t have access to your phone, there’s an SOS button on the console above the rearview mirror. Pressing this button will connect you to a call agent who can locate the car’s GPS coordinates. They’ll then alert emergency response teams to your exact location.

Safe Parking

The Wrangler has a high suspension and a big frame, which can make parking in tight spots a little tricky. The ParkSense Rear Park Assist system lets you know you’re getting too close to an object with the help of strategically placed sensors.

You also have the ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera through the Uconnect panel that shows the area behind your car. The image includes dynamic grids to give you an idea of the distance between your car and the object behind it.

Keeping Your Asset Safe

Safety features are not just for when you’re on the road. For instance, if you’re in a situation that requires you to enter your car effortlessly without having to fumble about for keys, the Remote Proximity Keyless Entry will come in handy. This allows you to simply have the key in your purse or pocket and when you’re in range, the car unlocks when you lift the handle.

If you’ve ever been on a trailhead and simply can’t remember how to make the trek back down to your car, the Vehicle Finder comes in handy. It allows you to access the exact location of your car through GPS coordinates, which displays on an interactive map. It’s not just a great feature for trail enthusiasts, as it can also come in handy when your car is simply not where you left it last. Law enforcement can use it to track down your car if somebody steals it.
