•	Best-looking Voyager to offer even more safety features and the most refined driving experience
•	New Voyager receives maximum 5-star US NHTSA safety rating for side impact collision

After more than 20 years of leadership of the people-mover market worldwide and over 10 million versions sold, Chrysler introduces the 2005 Chrysler Voyager.

The new Voyager, now on sale in Australia, features a new look and substantially increased levels of passenger safety.

The major enhancements on the new Voyager include:

• Three-row supplemental side curtain airbags: Three-row, A to D-pillar side curtain airbags provide full-length coverage for all three rows of seats. This in part has helped the 2005 Voyager achieve the maximum 5-star safety rating for a side impact collision from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
• Exterior Freshening: The front exterior incorporates a new fascia, grille and quad projector headlamps. These striking visual changes bring ‘the new face of Chrysler’ to Voyager. New bodyside mouldings, new wheel covers and alloy wheels across the range further enhance the vehicle’s attractive looks.

Gerry Jenkins, Managing Director for Chrysler Jeep in Australia, said: “The convenience, economy and driveability of the Voyagers V6 engine together with the fresh exterior look and improved safety features will help make the Voyager an even bigger success for Chrysler in the Australia.

“There are many vehicles available to move your precious cargo - be it family, valued clients or all your gear. None match the comfort, safety and versatility of Voyager,“ Jenkins added.

Voyager offers innovative power sliding doors and lift gate, three-row supplemental side curtain and advanced multistage front air bags, ABS, V6 power, tri-zone air conditioning and 7 seat capacity with flexible seating options.

For the 2005 model year, Chrysler will offer three versions of the Voyager – the SE, LX and Limited – all with the extended-wheelbase.

Additional Safety Information
The new 2005 Chrysler Voyager people movers come loaded with a long list of standard safety features including:
Advanced multi-stage front air bags,
Provides enhanced protection for a greater range of occupants at various deployment levels, based on the severity of an impact

BeltAlert
Chrysler Group’s new enhanced seat belt reminder system. If a vehicle is driven without the driver being properly belted, the system will periodically activate a chime and illuminate a light in the instrument cluster to remind the driver to buckle up

Anti-lock Braking System
Equipped with electronic sensors that prevent wheel lockup, system offers improved steering control under extreme braking and/or slippery conditions

Constant Force Retractors
Constant Force Retractors are engineered to force-limit the belt system and gradually release seat belt webbing in a controlled manner during a severe impact

Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an accident, this system makes it easier for emergency personnel to see and reach the occupants by turning on the interior lighting and unlocking the doors after air bag deployment

Energy-Absorbing Steering Column
The innovative stroking steering column utilizes “release capsules,” which allow the column to move forward for enhanced energy absorption during a crash. The column also features “tuned” metal bend straps which deform during column stroke for optimal energy management

Front Crush Sensors
Two sensors, located forward in the vehicle, measure the severity of the impact and relay crash information to safety control systems in the occupant compartment for optimal deployment of the driver and passenger air bags and seat belt pretensioners

Occupant Classification System (OCS)
The OCS measures conditions for activation or deactivation of the passenger-side air bag, based upon the weight of the occupant

Pretensioners
During a collision, the front seat belt pretensioners electronically sense a crash and immediately remove slack from the seat belts, thereby reducing the forward movement of the occupant’s upper body

Steering Column Intermediate Shaft Decoupler
A joint integrated into the steering system releases during a severe impact event. Limits the amount of force applied to the chest during an impact

Three-row Supplemental Side Curtain Air Bags
Three-row, A-to-D pillar side curtain air bags provide full-length coverage for all three rows of seats. The side curtain extends protection to all outboard passengers. Both side curtain air bags have impact sensors which trigger the air bag on the side where impact occurs
