The safety features in modern Chevy and Cadillac cars are saving drivers a lot of money on medical bills, vehicle repairs, and insurance claims. These sophisticated road hazard detection and avoidance systems supplement your own safe driving habits and reflexes to help ensure you make it safely to work or home every day. Here are the best safety and security features you’ll find on a Chevy or Cadillac. If you would like to learn more, visit your local Chevy dealership.
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
Reversing out of a parking spot is always a risky moment. In the past, when drivers couldn’t clearly see the road behind them, they had to trust their hearing, the caution of other drivers, and sheer blind luck to hope an oncoming car didn’t hit the rear of their reversing vehicle.
In a modern Chevy or Cadillac car, you can reverse with far more confidence. Camera or radar sensors monitor the road behind your car, ready to warn you if another vehicle is approaching, and even activate the brakes automatically if necessary.
Forward Collision Alert
In much the same way, your Chevy or Cadillac always monitors the road ahead of you. You’ll receive a clear visual and audible warning if a collision threat ever appears in front of your car. If you fail to take immediate evasive action, your car can also activate the emergency brakes to mitigate the threat.
Front Pedestrian Braking
The external sensors on your Chevy or Cadillac are intelligent enough to detect any pedestrian who suddenly appears in front of your car, even a small child running into the road. Your car then warns you and can either activate the brakes automatically or enhance your own activation of the brakes to help ensure neither you nor the pedestrian comes to harm.
Safety Alert Seat
When a collision threat suddenly appears, you have split seconds in which to respond. To help with this, both Chevy and Cadillac cars have safety alert seats. These seats give you a vibrating pulse on the left, right, or both sides at once, indicating the direction from which the collision threat has arisen.
