Behind the wheel of an Avenger, you're surrounded by advanced features designed to help keep you safe and secure in the event of a collision. The 2009 Avenger – like nine other Dodge vehicles – earned a five-star government frontal-impact crash test rating[2].
All Avenger models feature standard:
- Advanced multistage driver and front-passenger airbags[1]
- Supplemental seat-mounted side airbags[1]
- Supplemental side-impact curtain airbags[1]
Avenger's unitized upper body forms a structural safety cage that provides excellent protection.
- The front structure is composed of multiple crush zones that absorb energy.
- Dual-phase steel helps protect occupants by absorbing energy in a controlled manner.
- The collapsible steering column compresses up to 4 inches, absorbing energy as the driver contacts the deploying airbag.

- Airbags
- The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) deploys frontal airbags[1] as required with a two-stage output that helps the airbag system protect against airbag induced injuries to small, unbelted or out-of-position occupants.
- Safety Cage
- Occupant protection comes from multiple crush zones, dual-phase steel and the collapsible steering column.
- HomeLink®
With the available HomeLink® system, you can operate a garage door, security gate or lighting from the safety of the drivers seat.
- Key fob features
Avenger's key fob performs several functions including remote start[3] and keyless / illuminated entry. The standard security alarm system and Sentry Key® deter theft and vandalism — and can lower your insurance premium. Sentry Key® immobilizes the engine, while the panic button on the key fob sounds the alarm.
