Active safety systems available on the 2015 Chrysler 200 include full-speed forward collision warning, which combines camera and radar technologies and is a first for a mainstream-brand midsize sedan. The system provides alerts, autonomous braking and under certain circumstances can slow or bring the sedan to a full stop when a frontal collision seems imminent.
“The Chrysler 200’s superior performance in such safety tests validates our continuing efforts to deliver the latest advancements in both passive and active safety technologies,” says Scott Kunselman, Chrysler Group’s Senior Vice President and Head of Vehicle Safety and Regulatory Compliance.
