What Is Stellantis Safety?

Stellantis Safety is the umbrella term for the ADAS features fitted to Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles. There is no single brand name like Honda Sensing, but the same hardware bundle (AEB, lane keep, blind spot, adaptive cruise) is shared across Pacifica, Wagoneer, Grand Cherokee, Ram 1500, and Charger. Highway Assist on Wagoneer adds hands-on lane centering.

OEM ADAS Suite

📖 The Quick Answer

Stellantis Safety bundles Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus (which is AEB), Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, LaneSense Lane Departure Warning Plus, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection, ParkSense ultrasonic parking, and Drowsy Driver Detection. Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, and Ram 1500 Tungsten add Active Driving Assist for hands-on lane centering and Hands-Free Active Driving Assist for mapped highway hands-free.

⚙ How It Works (Sensors and Algorithm)

Hardware is a forward camera behind the windshield, a forward radar in the lower grille (or behind the badge on Ram), two rear corner radars, and ultrasonic sensors. Hands-Free Active Driving Assist adds a driver-facing infrared camera on the steering column. The body control module and ADAS ECU share data over CAN-FD. Wagoneer uses BlueCruise-style HD map data on roughly 125,000 miles of US and Canadian highway.

🛡 What It Protects Against

Rear-end collisions, lane departures, blind-spot lane changes, parking-lot fender benders, and drowsy-driver crashes. IIHS rates Wagoneer, Grand Cherokee, and Pacifica with the full Stellantis Safety bundle as Top Safety Picks.

⚠ Limitations and When It Fails

Hands-Free Active Driving Assist requires the driver-facing camera to see the driver eyes, which sunglasses and certain head positions defeat. The system is geofenced to mapped highways and disengages when the map ends. After a windshield replacement, static recalibration with the wiTECH 2 scan tool is required. The forward radar behind the Ram tailgate-style badge is sensitive to badge alignment, and a misaligned badge triggers radar fault codes.

🚗 Which Vehicles Have It

Standard or available on Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Pacifica, Voyager, Ram 1500 (Limited, Longhorn, Tungsten), Charger, and Challenger. Hands-Free Active Driving Assist is on Wagoneer Series III and above, Grand Wagoneer, and Ram 1500 Tungsten. Compass and Renegade have a more basic bundle (AEB and LDW only on some trims).

🔧 Related TSBs and Recalls

Recall 23V-289 covers the front camera bracket on certain 2022 to 2023 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, which can shift and cause false LDW. TSB 08-049-22 covers radar realignment behind the Ram tailgate badge.
