SAFETY AND SECURITY — THE DAKOTA WAY.

Inside and out, Dodge Dakota offers engineering and design that focus on your safety and security. Among the best assets:

1 ENERGY-ABSORBING OCTAGONAL FRONT FRAME RAIL TIPS. These replaceable tips reduce impact energy by collapsing rearward in a controlled manner in the event of a front impact. This lessens the transferred

force that could reach the driver. 2 AUTOMATIC HEADLAMPS. It is a standard feature on all Laramie trim levels: when switched to the automatic position, headlamps will turn on at dusk and off in the daylight.

ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS). Rear-wheel antilock brakes are standard on the '08 Dodge Dakota. The outstanding available 4-wheel antilock brake system (ABS) is paired with rack-and-pinion steering to help

Dakota provide excellent maneuvering and stopping. 4 FRONT AND SIDE-CURTAIN AIR BAGS*. Another advantage when it comes to Dakota: an advanced multistage front air bag* system is standard on all Dodge

Dakota models — with available supplemental side-curtain air bags* included with the Extra Security Package, further protecting both front and rear outboard occupants. 5 FULLY BOXED HYDROFORMED LADDER

FRAME. A fully-boxed frame delivers a smoother, more comfortable, and quieter ride, while contributing to impressive stiffness, strength, durability and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) control. 6 TIRE PRESSURE

MONITORING SYSTEM. Tires are ﬁ rst in line when it comes to steering and handling — and properly inﬂ ated tires are instrumental to obtaining peak mileage and fuel economy. The Tire Pressure Monitoring Warning

Lamp is standard, communicating a clear, visible alert on the instrument cluster when the tire pressure is low.

*Always sit properly in the seat with the seat belt fastened. Children 12 and under should always be in a backseat correctly using an infant or child restraint system or the seat belt positioned correctly for the child's age and weight.
