2025 Ram 1500 Safety Features

Ram's Hands-Free Active Driving Assist system elevates highway driving to new levels of ease and safety. Using a combination of radar, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors, this feature allows drivers to engage semi-autonomous driving on over 400,000 miles of mapped highways in the U.S. and Canada. The system maintains lane position, adjusts speed based on traffic, and even executes gentle steering inputs to navigate curves-all while monitoring driver engagement via infrared cameras. If your eyes leave the road for more than a few seconds, the truck escalates alerts before safely slowing down. Perfect for long hauls, this system reduces fatigue without sacrificing control.

When sudden obstacles appear, the Ram 1500's Evasive Steering Assist acts as a co-pilot. If Forward Collision Warning detects an imminent collision and the driver begins steering to avoid it, the system applies additional torque to sharpen the turn and help maneuver around the obstacle. This is especially critical in scenarios where braking alone isn't enough-like a stalled vehicle around a blind curve. The truck's electronic stability control works in tandem to keep the trajectory stable, ensuring evasive moves feel controlled, not panicked.

Ram's Forward Collision Warning system uses a windshield-mounted camera and radar to monitor traffic ahead. At speeds between three and 110 mph, it alerts drivers of potential collisions via visual, audible, and haptic (steering wheel vibration) warnings. If the driver doesn't react, Active Braking engages, applying up to 100 percent of braking force to mitigate or avoid impact. The system also detects pedestrians and cyclists, day or night, thanks to enhanced low-light processing. In stop-and-go traffic, it can bring the truck to a complete halt-then resume driving when traffic moves.

Long drives can lead to dangerous fatigue. The Ram 1500's Drowsy Driver Detection system tracks steering patterns, lane deviations, and even time spent driving without breaks. If it detects signs of fatigue, it issues a "Take a Break" alert on the digital cluster and suggests nearby rest stops via the navigation system. Paired with the available heated/ventilated seats and customizable ambient lighting, this feature helps drivers stay refreshed and focused.

Never miss a speed limit change or school zone again. The Traffic Sign Recognition system uses a forward-facing camera to identify road signs, displaying them on the 12-inch Uconnect touchscreen or digital gauge cluster. It's particularly useful in unfamiliar areas or construction zones where temporary speed limits apply. If Adaptive Cruise Control is active, the truck can even adjust your preset speed to match detected signs, ensuring compliance without constant manual input
