Does 2015 Dodge Dart have blind spot detection?
The 2015 Dodge Dart can be equipped with blind-spot monitoring, but it was not standard on every model. It was available as part of the optional SafetyTec Group on higher trims such as SXT and Limited, rather than on the base SE.
What blind-spot detection is
Blind-spot monitoring uses radar sensors mounted near the rear of the vehicle to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes. When a car enters a vehicle’s blind spot, a warning typically appears in the corresponding side mirror or on the dashboard to alert the driver. Some systems also provide cross-traffic alerts when backing up or turning out of a parking space.
Availability by trim and option package
The feature was not standard on the base Dart and was offered with the SafetyTec Group on higher trims. The SafetyTec Group often combined blind-spot monitoring with other safety features such as rear cross-path detection and ParkSense parking aids.
- SE: Generally not equipped with blind-spot monitoring, as the SafetyTec Group was not typically included on this base trim.
- SXT: Blind-spot monitoring with cross-path detection available as part of the SafetyTec Group option.
- Limited: Blind-spot monitoring with cross-path detection available as part of the SafetyTec Group option.
In short, if your 2015 Dart has blind-spot detection, it almost certainly came with the SafetyTec Group on a higher trim. If you’re unsure, check the window sticker or your vehicle’s VIN options with a dealer.
How to verify on your specific vehicle
Look for a badge or activation in the side mirror housing, or an indicator light on the mirror when the car starts. Check the owner’s manual or the original window sticker to see if the SafetyTec Group is listed as installed. You can also contact a Dodge/Chrysler dealer with your VIN to confirm whether blind-spot monitoring and Cross-Path Detection were included.
What to do if your Dart doesn’t have it
If your Dart did not come with blind-spot monitoring, you have a few options. An aftermarket blind-spot monitoring kit can be installed, but professional installation is recommended, and integration with factory warnings may be limited. Some dealers may offer factory-backed retrofits, though availability for a 2015 model varies by region.
Summary
For the 2015 Dodge Dart, blind-spot detection was not standard across the lineup. It was available on higher trims via the optional SafetyTec Group, typically on SXT and Limited models. If you’re assessing a used Dart or shopping for one, check the window sticker or confirm with the dealer to determine whether your specific car includes blind-spot monitoring and Cross-Path Detection.
