The Electronic Stability Program (ESP)[1] is designed to assist drivers in maintaining control of their vehicles during extreme steering maneuvers. ESP[1] senses when a 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. The control you'll feel is astonishing.
An important aspect of ESP[1], Durango's traction control system, is tuned for on-road activity during normal operation. When wheel spin occurs, the system maintains traction by applying the brakes and, in some cases, closing the throttle to minimize spin during acceleration.
All-wheel drive anticipates the need for added traction and responds to wheel slippage by transferring power to the rear wheels. This gives greater driving performance, and increased safety and security. The system operates only on demand, thereby reducing unnecessary fuel consumption.

- ParkSense®

The available ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System[2] uses sound waves to detect nearby obstacles in and near the rear path of the vehicle to help you maneuver in tight spaces at parking speeds. Audio-visual indicators in the overhead display in the rear of the vehicle alert you to the proximity of most larger, stationary objects that might be outside your line of sight.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Durango's tire pressure monitoring system alerts the driver 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 (EVIC).
