Accident Avoidance

During extreme steering manoeuvres the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system helps maintain control by sensing when the vehicle is starting to over- or understeer.

ESP automatically applies individual brakes or controls the throttle to help you stay safely on course. When you don’t want the extra hand, ESP is specially tuned for performance handling so you can switch it off.

Not all roads are paved or smooth. Cherokee’s four-wheel Antilock Brake System (ABS) has a unique rough road detection system that has a special program to assist Cherokee’s stopping performance on gravel or dirt roads.

Drive with confidence. Cherokee’s all-speed traction control system uses sensors to monitor wheel spin, reducing engine speed, applying the brakes to spinning wheels, and transferring torque to the appropriate wheel when slippage is detected.

In a panic brake condition, Cherokee’s brake assist system applies maximum braking power, providing the shortest possible stopping distance.

Anticipating the need for additional traction, either of Cherokee's four-wheel drive systems automatically responds to wheel slippage by transferring power equally to both front and rear wheels, improving vehicle stability.
