4 Car Safety Features You’ll Find on Today’s Chevy Vehicles

Chevy vehicles are packed full of technology, and much of that technology helps keep you safer while driving. There are many fantastic car safety features you’ll find on all the vehicles at your local Chevy dealer. The features we’re going to talk about today are the most common standard or available safety features on all the models in Chevy’s 2023 lineup, and you’ll find many of them on earlier Chevy models, too.

4 Car Safety Features You’ll Find on Today’s Chevy Vehicles At Your Chevy Dealer

1. Teen Driver Technology

Teen driver technology is a unique safety feature available on today’s Chevy models. The feature sends seatbelt reminders to the dashboard, and it delays the driver from shifting if their seatbelt isn’t buckled. There’s also a setting that mutes all audio in the vehicle until the front passengers are buckled up safely.

The system turns on all of the available driver-assist technologies by default, and it keeps track of how often these features are used. The vehicle then generates a report card that you can look back on, and it’ll tell you your teen’s maximum speed driven, how far they drove, and which warnings and driver assist features were activated during your teen’s journey.

2. Forward Collision Alert

If your Chevy detects a vehicle or pedestrian that you’re in danger of crashing into, then it’ll send you a warning so you can apply the brakes ASAP. Automatic emergency braking kicks in if you don’t hit the brakes fast enough. This automatic emergency braking works whether you’re about to collide with a vehicle or a pedestrian.  

3. Lane Keep Assist

Lane keep assist technology sends you an alert if you seem to be departing your lane without meaning to. Your vehicle can gently apply corrective steering if necessary, preventing you from leaving the lane without meaning to. The system won’t alert you that you’re departing your lane if you’ve used your turn signal. It also won’t activate if the vehicle determines you’re purposefully changing lanes even if the turn signal isn’t on.

4. Following Distance Indicator

The following distance indicator feature can help you figure out whether you’re following the car ahead too closely. Teens learning to drive will find this feature extremely helpful, but it can still make long-time drivers feel more secure, too. The feature tells you how many seconds it would take for you to close the gap between you and the car ahead.
