PowertrainTransaxlesOur
available second-generation Continuously Variable Transaxle uses a
system of belts and pulleys instead of gears for smooth, efficient
driving performance. The Continuously Variable Transaxle's CVT2's
AutoStick® shifter allows manual control with the simulation of six
stepped gears. A five-speed manual transaxle, standard on the 2.0L and
2.4L DOHC 16-valve dual Variable Valve Timing engines, provides closely
spaced gear ratios which help to improve acceleration at low speeds.
Aluminum Pedals The aluminum pedals from Mopar® clip on over your regular pedals and have rubber accents for traction.
HandlingEvery drive is an opportunity.
Each
Caliber model has a uniquely tuned suspension to suit a particular
style of driving. Love the sport of tight spirited driving? Choose
Caliber Heat or Caliber Rush for a responsive sport-tuned suspension.
Caliber Mainstreet and Caliber Uptown come standard with a touring
suspension for a smoother, more relaxed ride. Electronic Stability Control[1]
with traction control is tuned for on-road activity during normal
operation. When wheel spin occurs, the system helps maintain traction by
applying the brakes - and in some cases closing the throttle - to
minimize tire spin during acceleration.
Braking and Suspension Caliber
inspires confidence with exceptional braking and ride quality. Caliber
has antilock (brakes) are designed to help provide added traction in
slippery braking conditions. Independent front suspension coupled with
power rack-and-pinion steering helps Caliber stick to the road. WarrantyWe're so confident in the quality of our vehicles, we've backed them with a five-year / 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty[1]. The
powertrain limited warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor
needed to repair a covered powertrain component ? engine, transmission
and drive system ? on most new Dodge vehicles. Coverage now also includes free towing to the nearest Dodge dealer, if necessary. The
limited warranty is transferable too, so if you sell your vehicle
during the warranty period, the new owner will still be covered. Plus, our three-year / 36,000-mile Basic Limited Warranty[2] provides bumper-to-bumper coverage for your vehicle, from the body to the electrical system.
Accident AvoidanceThe avilablle Electronic Stability Control[1]
helps you keep control during extreme steering maneuvers. Electronic
Stability Control senses when your vehicle is starting to spin
(oversteer) or plow (understeer), and attempts to correct the vehicle's
course by automatically controlling the throttle and applying the brakes
at individual wheels. A traction control system is tuned for
on-road activity during normal operation. When wheel spin occurs, the
system helps maintain traction by applying the brakes and in some cases
closing the throttle, to minimize tire spin during acceleration. Antilock
brakes are designed to help provide added traction in slippery braking
conditions. The independent front suspension coupled with power
rack-and-pinion steering helps Caliber stick to the road.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Caliber
features a Tire Pressure Monitoring System that alerts you to
low-pressure tires via a warning light in the instrument cluster. With
the premium system, individual tire pressure is displayed on the
available Electronic Vehicle Information Center. ProtectionDodge Caliber has a serious side to compliment its sporty attitude. For your protection, Caliber is equipped with: - Standard advanced multistage airbags[1] for the driver and front passenger
- A driver knee blocker airbag[1]
- Supplemental side-curtain airbags[1]
- Available side-seat airbags[1]
A
combination of strengthened materials and engineered crush zones ?
portions of the structure that have been designed to divert and
dissipate energy in the event of impact? helps Dodge Caliber protect
what matters most.
