Traffic Awareness Month Celebrated in Menomonie

Stay Safe and Alert while Navigating Menomonie

August is Traffic Awareness Month, and it is a perfect reminder that staying focused and alert while driving is crucial to keep yourself and all the others around you safe. Your new Jeep from Markquart Menomonie has a wide array of features to help enhance the awareness of your surroundings. Navigating heavy traffic on your daily commute can be stressful. Jeep wants to be a second pair of eyes when it comes to lane changing, single-lane traffic, and possible collisions.
  • Blind Spot Monitoring- This alert uses radar-based sensors to alert you when another vehicle is driving in one of your blind zones. This alert flashes on your side mirror to avoid a collision.
  • Adaptive Cruise Control- This system automatically adjusts speed to maintain a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. The car may come to a complete stop if a potential collision is detected.
  • Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning- This element senses when your Jeep approaches another vehicle too rapidly and audibly and visually alerts you. When alerted, advanced brake assist is enabled, so you stop quicker. If necessary, this feature can bring your vehicle to a full stop.
At Markquart, we have a large inventory of safety equipped vehicles to make navigating around Menomonie and Eau Claire smoother. Come in and shop our inventory of new Jeep models to give you peace of mind. Reference your owner’s manual for a full list of what your Jeep is capable of. Safety and driver assistance features are not a replacement for alert and safe driving. Features are in place to aid in awareness of surroundings in order to keep everyone in and around the vehicle safe. Weather, visibility, and road condition may interfere with vehicle features. Reference your owner’s manual for information and limitation of safety features.Safety features vary depending on the Jeep vehicle. Distance must be pre-selected. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go is to assist with safe driving. Driver must still remain alert and focused while driving.SHOP NEW JEEP INVENTORY
