STRATUS SEDAN FEATURES
Whether you’re wheeling over tight mountain roads or maneuvering through the city,
Stratus Sedan can handle the challenge. That’s because you have a choice of three
suspensions: normal, sport, and performance. Each features a double-wishbone
suspension for a great ride. The R/T improves performance with larger stabilizer
bars and high-performance components.
HANDLING
The standard AutoStick transmission on
R/T provides the performance of a manual
transaxle and the convenience of an
automatic. It allows you to downshift
before accelerating and can hold a gear
longer to reach higher into the engine’s
rpm range-and does it all without a clutch.
AUTOSTICK®
Stratus Sedan comes with
your choice of 16-inch all-
season tires standard on SXT
or 17-inch performance tires
standard on R/T.
TIRES
By now, air bags* and seat belts are often taken for
granted. We don’t think like that. Here’s proof: three-
point shoulder/lap belt at all seating positions, the
LATCH child-seat anchor system, next-generation front
and supplemental side air bags available on all models.
Plus our multistage air bags inflate with a force
appropriate to the severity of the impact.
*Always use seat belts. Remember, a back seat is the safest
place for children 12 and under.
