Durango features patented crush initiators in the octagonal front frame rail tips that are designed to absorb frontal impacts more effectively and consistently than other designs. In fact, Dodge Durango has received a five-star rating—the government's highest frontal crash test rating—for both driver and front-passenger safety.
Air Bags
Durango offers an available side curtain airbag system for all three rows of seating and an advanced air bag system that includes multistage front airbags and an occupant classification system (OCS)** for the passenger side front air bag. The OCS** measures the conditions for activation or deactivation of the passenger side air bag based upon the weight of the occupant.
Seat Belts
Finally, all seats in the Durango features a new center mounted, three-point shoulder belt incorporated in to the second row seating area. * Based on rotor diameter and Automotive News Classification. ** Always sit properly in the seat with the seat belt fastened. Always observe the passenger airbag indicator lamp to determine if the OCS classification is appropriate. Children 12 and under should always be in a back seat correctly using an infant or child restraint system or the seat belt positioned correctly for the child's age and weight.
