安全装备在这个级别的车上也是空前的:
Brakes for the Caliber SRT-4采用300C上的巨大13寸刹车,100-0制动只要35米!
Although it’s a compact car, the 2007 Dodge Caliber SRT4 benefits from braking-system components designed for much larger, heavier cars. For example, front brake calipers were sourced from a premium brake system developed for the Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum and Dodge Charger, while rear calipers were sourced from Chrysler Group mid-size cars. However, all are painted in signature Dodge SRT red. Vented brake rotors for the 2007 Dodge Caliber SRT4 are 340 x 28mm in front and 302 x 10mm in the rear.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was uniquely calibrated for the 2007 Dodge Caliber SRT4’s performance to maintain directional stability without wheel lockup.
2007 Dodge Caliber SRT4 Safety and Security Features:Advanced
Multi-stage Air Bags:多级气馕 Offers enhanced protection for a range of occupants and is designed to identify the size of an occupant in the front passenger seat based primarily on weight
Anti-lock Braking System:ABS Equipped with electronic sensors that help prevent wheel lockup, the ABS system offers improved steering control under extreme braking and/or slippery conditions
Auto-reverse Sun Roof:自动回转天窗遇到障碍物将返回 An advanced sensing system that automatically engages and reverses the sun roof (to the open position)
BeltAlert: This feature sounds a periodic chime to alert the driver and all occupants to fasten their seat belts
Brake Assist:能够感知是紧急制动而马上应用最大的刹车力而比客户自己的用脚的速度快 The vehicle senses a panic brake condition and applies maximum braking power, providing the shortest possible stopping distance
Brake/Park Interlock:停车锁定 Prevents an automatic transmission or transaxle from being shifted out of Park unless the brake pedal is applied
Constant Force Retractors (CFR):前座位自适应松紧的安全带,刹车勒紧后会慢慢松开是驾驶员更舒适. A mechanical device in each front seat belt is designed to mitigate the force of a seat belt according to the load or force exerted on it. CFRs are engineered to force-limit the belt system and gradually release seat-belt webbing in a controlled manner during a severe impact
Crumple Zones溃缩区.: An area of the vehicle that is designed to compress during an accident in order to absorb energy from an impact, preventing transfer of that energy to occupants
Electronic Stability Program (ESP): Feature aids the driver in maintaining vehicle directional stability, providing oversteer and understeer control to maintain vehicle behavior
Energy-absorbing Steering Column:吸能溃缩方向盘,出大事故时候能保驾驶员胸部 Steering column contains two hydroformed coaxial tubes that move relative to each other, which allows the column to move forward and provide more energy absorption during an impact
Enhanced Accident Response System (EARS): In the event of an impact, this system makes it easier for emergency personnel to see and access occupants by automatically turning on interior lighting and unlocking doors after air bag deployment. The system also shuts off the flow of fuel to the engine
Height-adjustable Seat Belts: Allows passengers to lift and lower the shoulder belt to a comfortable level. Encourages seat belt usage by offering a more comfortable fit
HomeLink® Universal Home Security System Transceiver: HomeLink can store three separate radio-frequency codes to operate garage door openers, security gates, security lighting and other radio-controlled devices
Inflatable Knee Blocker膝部充气气囊事故时刻保护左腿减少骨折: The inflatable knee blocker is an air bag that deploys whenever the driver’s primary air bag deploys, helping position the driver relative to the primary air bag
Interior Head-impact Protection内部头部保护，肩膀以上高度的内室都是特殊设计的考虑到事故时退头部的撞击: Interior pillars above the belt line, instrument panel, windshield and rear window headers, roof and side rail structures, and shoulder-belt turning loops are specifically designed to limit head-impact forces
Knee Bolsters: The steering column, lower instrument panel and the glove-box door are reinforced to protect unbelted occupants during frontal impacts. They both restrain and position the occupant properly and enable air bags to work effectively
Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH): This system helps ease the installation of compatible aftermarket child seats
Occupant Classification System (OCS)副驾驶分类系统，能根据副驾驶位置的重量安排副驾驶位置前气囊的爆发力度，如果是儿童就仅仅引爆多级气囊的第一级，如果是成年人就全部引爆: The OCS measures the conditions for activation or deactivation of the front passenger-side air bag based upon the weight of the occupant
Octagonal Frame-rail Tips: Octagonal tips are designed to collapse rearward in a controlled manner during a frontal or offset front impact
ParkSense Rear Back-up System倒车雷达: Assists with detecting stationary objects when driving at low speeds in Reverse. This system consists of visible (lights when the driver looks at the inside rearview mirror) and audible warnings
Power-adjustable Pedals电动可调油门刹车高低，对矮个子的人是福音: Allows brake, accelerator and clutch pedals to move toward or away from the driver. This helps the driver achieve a safe and comfortable seating position for improved vehicle control
Remote Keyless Entry: The remote keyless entry locks and unlocks doors, and turns on interior lamps. If the vehicle is equipped with a vehicle-theft security alarm, the remote also arms and disarms that system
Seat-belt Pretensioners预紧安全带，发生撞击时候会勒紧安全带: During a collision, impact sensors initiate front seat belt pretensioners to immediately remove slack from seat belts, which reduces the forward movement of an occupant’s head and torso
Sentry Key® Engine Immobilizer发动机电子密码防盗: This utilizes an engine key that has an embedded transponder with a pre-programmed security key code. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the controller sends a random number to the transponder and the engine is allowed to start. If the correct key is not used, the engine will shut off after only a few seconds
SmartBeam® Headlamps智能前灯会自动根据路面和来车灯光调节大灯亮度: Intelligent headlamp system that adjusts to ambient light and oncoming traffic to deliver maximum lighting
Supplemental Side-curtain Air Bags窗帘式侧气囊覆盖整个前后座位的侧面: Available side-curtain air bags extend protection to front- and rear-seat outboard occupants. Each side air bag has its own impact sensor in order to autonomously trigger the air bag on the side where the side impact occurs
Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM)轮胎压力监测系统: This advanced system monitors tire pressure and alerts the driver to improper tire pressure conditions. Low pressure on any tire illuminates the amber warning indicator in the instrument cluster
Dodge / Chrysler quality assuranceCHRYSLER质量保证
CALIBER 出厂前经过相当于200万英 里的全面测试。
The 2007 Dodge Caliber SRT4 was designed and engineered under the Chrysler Development System (CDS), the comprehensive, coordinated and disciplined product-creation process that improves quality and speed-to-market while reducing costs and encouraging practical innovation in new vehicles.
CDS emphasizes systems engineering, design and up-front planning to avoid time-consuming and costly trial and error, or changes during the later phases of the product development cycle. With CDS, all product and process planning is completed and fully integrated before production tooling begins.
2007 Dodge Caliber SRT4 development also encompasses actual conditions, both on the street and on the race track.
To simulate real-world conditions, the 2007 Dodge Caliber SRT4 will have logged nearly 2 million customer-equivalent road miles by the time vehicles begin appearing in dealerships.
To ensure its track-ready character, extensive durability testing of the Dodge Caliber SRT4 will take place at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix; Texas Motorsports Ranch in Ft. Worth, Texas; and Nelson Ledges in Garrettsville, Ohio.
