Protecting passengers is Caliber's greatest priority. The front-end crush zone is designed to divert and dissipate energy

away from the passenger compartment while the safety cage construction helps provide a protective shell around its

occupants. Advanced multistage driver and front-passenger air bags

help provide nearly instantaneous occupant

[1]

protection. Standard supplemental side-curtain air bags

[1]

provide side-impact protection. Technologically advanced

electronics allow Caliber's antilock brake system (ABS) to provide fast response time. ABS helps prevent wheel-lock and

helps maintain directional control when braking on slippery surfaces. Designed to assist the driver in maintaining control

of the vehicle at all times, available Electronic Stability Control

(ESC) also includes Brake Assist and all-speed traction control

[2]

to constantly monitor the driver's input against the vehicle's actual course. If needed, ESC will attempt to correct the vehicle's

course by automatically applying the brake and/or reducing engine torque. Outfit Caliber with the available Security Group and a

manual transaxle, and benefit from Hill Start Assist, making it easier to resume travel on an incline.

The Advanced Front Air Bags in this vehicle

[1]

are certified to the new federal regulations for advanced air bags. Children 12 years old and younger should always ride buckled up in a rear seat. Infants in rear-facing child restraints should never ride in the front seat

of a vehicle with a passenger front air bag. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoulder belts properly.

No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving

[2]

actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESC warning lamp in the speedometer flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving

behavior to prevailing road conditions.
