What is Dodge Ready Alert braking?

Ready Alert Braking is a feature found in certain Dodge vehicles that helps reduce the time required to reach full braking during emergency situations. It anticipates when an emergency braking situation may occur by monitoring how fast the throttle is released by the driver. The system prepares the brake system for a panic stop by applying a slight amount of brake pressure to just touch the brake pads against the rotors. This allows for quicker brake application and makes full-braking power available more quickly, potentially reducing stopping distances.
Please note that Ready Alert Braking is just one of the many safety features available in Dodge vehicles. Other safety features may include Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rain Brake Support, Hill Start Assist, and Electronic Stability Control, among others.
