Patriot’s got your back and your sides, as well as your front end.
Head out with confidence, knowing you’re outfitted with a
comprehensive set of safety and security features. Patriot’s
emphasis on incident preventive packages, like Electronic
Stability Control (ESC)
(4)
with its robust range of sensor
indicators, are key to occupant protection. A strong cage
structure contains a front crumple zone that absorbs energy
during a front impact, as well as a high-strength crossbeam in
the rear seat area that helps transfer side-impact energy from
one side of the vehicle to the other.
ELECTRONIC STAbILITY CONTROL (ESC).
(4)
Integrates a host of
systems that includes all-speed traction control, a
Brake Assist system
that automatically helps provide quicker braking power in emergency
situations, and Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) steering actions that
can apply strategic braking to appropriate wheels and reduce engine
power when overly sharp steering actions and /or impending wheel lift
are detected. Standard on all models.

between the head restraint and the occupant’s head,
thereby helping to reduce the chance of injury.
