Brakes are essential for safety. Therefore, family-oriented vehicles like the 2018 Dodge Journey come with a range of systems, including ABS and Rain Brake Support.Here is a closer look at the elements on the 2018 Dodge Journey that help you stop effectively and safely in any weather conditions.Â
Rain Brake Support
The Rain Brake Support feature optimises performance in wet conditions. This system works on a circuit with the windshield wipers, and it activates whenever they are on.Â
Rain Brake Support works by applying a small amount of pressure to get rid of water from precipitation and road spray that has built up on the pads and rotors.Â
Ready Alert Braking
Ready Alert Braking reduces the stopping time. It determines the severity of the situation by monitoring how fast the driver releases the throttle. If you step off the gas pedal quickly, the system starts the slowing process preemptively so that you reach a complete standstill faster.Â
Anti-Lock Braking System
The ABS prevents slippage by continuously pumping the brakes and modulating the hydraulic pressure when the driver presses the pedal. This system works automatically if it senses skidding.Â
