Exploring Chevy’s Advanced Safety Features

Imagine cruising down the highway one morning, humming along to music with a coffee in the cupholder, when suddenly the car ahead slams on the brakes. In a moment like that, you’ll be thankful you’re driving a Chevy. Read on to learn how advanced Chevy safety features keep you safe.

Exploring Chevy’s Advanced Safety Features

Forward Collision Alert

When you’re driving a modern Chevy, you’re not the only one paying close attention to the road. With this feature installed, your car watches, too. If any kind of collision threat appears ahead, you’ll receive a clear alert to help you respond promptly. As with all the features here, forward collision alert is either standard or available on Chevy’s various models.

Automatic Emergency Braking

This feature allows your Chevy to apply the emergency brakes for you, just in case you don’t respond quickly enough to a sudden collision hazard. And the computerized reaction times of a modern Chevy are typically far quicker than those of the average driver. 

Front Pedestrian Braking

With this feature active, even a pedestrian appearing on the road will be noticed, triggering an alert and possible emergency braking. Another similar feature allows your car to spot and respond to pedestrians behind whenever you’re backing up with limited visibility. 

Following Distance Indicator

The more careful you are with distances between cars, the safer you’ll be. Your car can use this feature to keep a safe distance from vehicles ahead, giving you plenty of room to respond to unexpected changes in speed.

Side Bicyclist Alert

Blind spots to either side of your car are covered with this feature, which notices when even a bicyclist approaches from the side. This stops you from changing lanes at the wrong moment. 

Lane Keep Assist

Accidental lane changes are another potential cause of accidents. With lane keep assist, your car monitors the lane you’re in and knows when you’re unintentionally drifting toward the lane’s edge without indicating. It can then warn you and give the steering wheel a gentle nudge to help you return to a safe position. 

High Definition Surround Vision

While parking or performing any kind of tricky slow-speed maneuver, you’re far less likely to bump another car or object with this feature installed. High-definition surround vision uses all the car’s external cameras to display a detailed composite image on your dashboard, showing an accurate, real-time, bird’s-eye view of your car and the immediate surroundings.
