At Dodge, safety and security are a number one priority. In the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan, both passive and active safety features, such as air bags, knee blockers, Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and anti-lock brakes, have been designed to give you peace of mind during your daily adventures.
Air Bag Protection
In the event of an accident, Grand Caravan is equipped with air bag protection throughout the cabin. Advanced Multistage front air bags actually evaluate seated occupants for appropriate airbag output. In addition to protection by the body structure, side curtain air bags offer side-impact protection to front and rear seat outboard occupants.
Reinforced For Safety
An important safety aspect of any vehicle is what it is made of. To help absorb the energy of impact, structural reinforcements of dual-phase steel are located in the octagonal front inner and outer rail, in a mid-dash cross member and in the engine cradle attachment posts. In addition, there are reinforced roof bows and high-strength reinforcements throughout.
Not only is Grand Caravan built with reinforced steel in key areas, but it was redesigned to enhance protection. For example, the front end is longer, as is the space between the front wheels and front passengers.
Secure Seating
When three people are sitting in the third-row seat, you can rest assured that each of them has a three-point seat belt for their protection.
Child seat anchors located in the second and third rows allow you to secure child seats by direct attachment to the vehicle seat structure, rather than by the vehicle's seat belts.
Integrated Child Seating
Grand Caravan's available integrated child seat offers the peace-of-mind of always having secure seating for your little ones or their visiting friends. One or two child seats can be included in the third row bench seat, so bring the whole gang along.
Emergency Accident Response System (EARS)
In the event of air bag deployment, the enhanced emergency accident response system switches on the interior lamps, unlocks the doors, turns on the hazard flasher exterior lamps and turns the engine off. This helps emergency personnel in their assistance efforts.
Obstacle Detection System
An obstacle detection system automatically opens the available power sliding doors and available power rear liftgate when an obstacle is detected during the closing process.
Interior Accents
While the big story of the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan is its three distinct seating and storage systems, the redesigned interior is equally exciting. High function was a priority in the newly designed instrument panel where the shifter now resides amidst well-placed readable dials. The center stack boasts instrumentation that is so close and easy to operate, it feels like you designed it yourself.
Highlighting these exciting features is the available ambient halo lighting which emits a soft glow from the available overhead console. Additional enhanced function includes an available premium Sliding Center Floor Console with power outlet, available illuminated map pockets, dual glove boxes, and a total of 13 cup or bottle holders.
