Exploring Chevy’s Advanced Safety Features

Safety is a priority for many drivers, and modern Chevrolets are some of the safest cars on the road. In each model, you’ll find a range of reliable, highly responsive Chevy safety features, as standard or available. Let’s take a look at the best of them.

High Definition Surround Vision

Your Chevy has multiple external cameras monitoring the surroundings carefully at all times. With this feature, you can see a composite bird’s-eye view of your car when moving at slow speeds, allowing you to maneuver and park more precisely and safely. 

Forward Collision Alert

When driving at any speed, your car can detect a potential collision threat suddenly appearing ahead of you. You’ll instantly be alerted both audibly and visually. 

Automatic Emergency Braking

When any kind of collision hazard arises, if you fail to respond to the warning alert in time, your car will apply the Automatic Emergency Braking to avoid or mitigate the impact. The brakes will be activated with just the appropriate amount of force.

Front Pedestrian Braking

With this feature, your car can even detect and respond to pedestrians wandering into the road ahead of you. You’ll be alerted, and the automatic brakes will apply if necessary.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert With Braking

Backing out of a parking space or driveway poses another collision danger. To reduce this risk, your car scans the road in both directions behind you and protects you from approaching vehicles.

Rear Pedestrian Alert

Pedestrians can also be detected behind you. This feature works in daylight and after dark, although in a more limited fashion at nighttime.

Side Bicyclist Alert

Cyclists can sometimes enter our blind spots. When this happens, Side Bicyclist Alert lets you know. The feature remains active for a few seconds after parking, alerting you if a cyclist is approaching so you don’t accidentally open the door at the wrong moment. 

Adaptive Cruise Control

Long drives can be tiring, and anything that allows you to relax enhances your road safety. To this end, Adaptive Cruise Control takes over acceleration and braking for you, keeping your car at a preset distance from the vehicle ahead.

IntelliBeam

With this feature, your car controls when your high-beam headlights are turned off or on. This prevents oncoming drivers from getting blinded, a common nighttime safety hazard.
