IRON-CLAD SAFETY AND
SECURITY FEATURES.
Ram 1500 meets 2010 with safety and security features that are measured in quality: they’re virtually
invisible to thedriver and passengers but are there when you need them. Advantages like hydroformed
front crush zones, intelligent side-impact protection, an Enhanced Accident Response System, advanced
multistage front air bags,
[1] and the standard supplemental side-curtain air bags[1] are augmented by the
available Rear Park Assist System, ParkSense.®[2]
BRAKE PROGRESS THAT JUST DOESN’T STOP.
It’s the most comprehensive and advanced standard
braking system ever onRam, and designed todofar more
than stop you in your tracks. 2010 Ram 1500 oers an
available power/memory adjustable brake pedal along
with thestandard Electronic Stability Control (ESC).[3]
ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM [ABS]. Standard
on all Ram 1500 models, this four-wheel antilock brake
system is an electronically operated multichannel
system that controls each brake individually — the
electrical system is independent from all other circuits.
ABS is part of the Electronic Stability Control [ESC].[3]
ESC sensors are so sophisticated, they instantly detect slippage
and allowance in o-road conditions, such as dirt or gravel.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL [ESC].[3] By combining
and interpreting information fromsensors, driver input, and software, ESC helps the
driver maintain vehicle directional stability under many dierent driving conditions.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROL [TSC]. TSC can recognize a swaying trailer and automatically apply
any individual wheel’s brakes and/or reduce the engine power in an attempt to eliminate the trailer
sway. TSC applies brake pressure on all four wheels toslow the vehicle, while increasing pressure on
one front wheel tocounteract the sway.
ALL-SPEED TRACTION CONTROL. Wheel slippage in wet or icyconditions is reduced to a
minimum through automatic adjustments to both engine and brakes.
HILL START ASSIST [HSA]. Class-exclusive[4] HSA is especially valuable when o-road or on
inclines. HSA maintains brake pressure until enough engine torque is produced forforward motion.
ELECTRONIC ROLL MITIGATION [ERM].Sophistication at every turn: If the ERM system
detects a potential rollover [for example, a corner taken too sharply, or a swerve to avoid a problem],
it automatically applies the correct brakes while simultaneously fine-tuning the throttle.
BRAKE ASSIST. This adjunct to the antilock braking system can sense the speed or force used
to press the brakepedal. It's so refined, it can determine that anemergency stop is underway —
and then instantly apply full braking pressure to help shorten stopping distances.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR. Should the air pressure in any tire besignificantly reduced, you’re
forewarned by audible andvisible warnings from the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Standard on
allmodels. The available TPM System displays actual tire pressure in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center.
[1]The Advanced Front A ir Bags in this vehicle are cert ified to the new federal regulations for advanced air bags. Children 1 2 years old and younger should always r ide buckled up in a rear seat. Inf ants in
rear-facing child restraints should NEVER ride in t he front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front air bag. All occupants should ALWAYS wear their lap and shoulder belts properly. Always sit properly in
the seat with the seat belt fastened. Children 12 and under should always be in a backseat correctly using an infant or child restraint system or the seat belt positioned correctly for the child’s age and
weight. [2]Always check entire surroundings before back ing up. [3]No system, no matter how sophis ticated , can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Per for mance is limited by
available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can aect. When t he ESC warning lamp in the speedometer flashes, the driver needs t o use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior
to prevailing road conditions. Alway s drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always wear your seat belt. [4]Based on

1. PARKVIEW®REAR BACK-UP CAMERA.[2] ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera is designed
to assist the driver in detecting obstacles out of the line of sight during reversing maneuvers.
2. PROTECTION IN MILLISECONDS. Dual-action side-curtain air bags[1] are twice the volume
ofthe former Ram edition. They cover all side windows — and stay active for five seconds.
