Parallel parking is made easy thanks to Patriot's rack and pinion steering.

  • Hill Descent Control
    Hill Descent Control

    Hill Descent Control with grade sensing allows a smooth and controlled hill descent on rough or slippery terrain without the driver needing to touch the brake pedal. This system applies the brakes to each wheel individually when needed, to reduce forward motion while negotiating down steep grades.
