Chrysler Offers Mid-Cycle Feature Additions Fame it!

Posted on Mar 30 2008 3:46 AM by adnana
Filed Under: Chrysler ,

After inventing and reinventing the minivan, Chrysler added a ton of features to the new-for-2008 models. Two such items - Swivel 'n Go seating and the three-screen video setup - were found to have slight incompatibilities, but Chrysler has come up with a clever solution.

The problem arises when the second-row seats are swiveled to face rearward. In this configuration, the rear-facing passengers are now facing the back of the third-row video monitor. To solve this road trip catastrophe waiting to happen, 2009 vans will have a swiveling monitor. Problem solved, right? Not quite. Since this monitor will now be visible at times in the driver's rear-view mirror (against the law when a vehicle is in motion), a safety has been put in place so that the swiveled monitor only operates when the second-row screen is folded down and obstructing its view. This clever idea may save a family vacation or two.
