The 2006 Jeep(R) Commander Earns Top Government Safety Rating
from NHTSA
* Jeep(R) Commander is the 11th Vehicle in the All-new Chrysler Group Lineup
to Receive Five Stars for Frontal Crash Protection
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- The 2006 Jeep® Commander has received the government's highest rating
for frontal-impact crash protection from the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA). The Jeep Commander's five-star rating for frontal
crash protection makes it the 11th new product from Chrysler Group to achieve
the top safety rating in the governmental frontal crash tests.
"Chrysler Group is offering Jeep Commander customers peace
of mind through more standard safety and security equipment and the application
of a broad range of engineering technologies," said Craig Love, Vice
President Rear-wheel Drive Product Teams, Chrysler Group. "The inherent
stability and security we design in to all Chrysler Group vehicles is enhanced
by both passive and active safety systems, whether driving on- or off-road."
The new 2006 Jeep Commander includes the highest level of standard
safety and security technology and features ever offered on a Chrysler Group
vehicle. Introduced for the first time on the Jeep Commander, standard side-curtain
air bags with a roll detection system deploys airbags in certain rollover
and side-impact situations. In addition, Electronic Stability Program, Electronic
Roll Mitigation, Brake Assist, Anti-lock Brakes, and 4-Wheel Brake Traction
Control System are also standard on Jeep Commander. These are only some of
the many safety and security features -- designed in from the beginning --
that provide the Jeep Commander with the ability to "go anywhere, do
anything" safely and securely.
Starting with the Chrysler Pacifica in 2003, Chrysler Group
has had a string of 11 product launches that produced NHTSA-rated five-star
vehicles for frontal crash protection. These vehicles include: Chrysler Pacifica,
Chrysler and Dodge minivans, Dodge Durango, Dodge Ram 1500, Dodge Ram Quad,
Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum, Dodge Dakota, Jeep® Grand Cherokee, Dodge
Charger and Jeep Commander.
The 2006 Jeep Commander is built at Chrysler Group's Jefferson
North Assembly Plant (JNAP) in Detroit, Mich., on the same production line
as the award-winning Jeep Grand Cherokee.
