While nothing beats responsible driving to keep you safe on the road, the advanced safety features in a modern Chevy certainly help. These days, Chevy drivers are safer than ever before. Let’s take a look at seven of the best car safety features available in your Chevy. And if you’d like to know more, you can always visit your local Chevy dealership and ask for a demo.
Car Safety Features You Can Find on Your Chevy
High Definition Surround Vision
While moving at low speeds, such as when parking, you can now see a bird’s eye image on your dashboard showing your vehicle and all the surrounding obstacles. The high-definition cameras to either side, the fore, and the rear of your car give you an exact layout of everything surrounding your vehicle in real-time. This allows for precise maneuverability and far fewer dings and scrapes in your daily commute.
Adaptive Cruise Control
With Adaptive Cruise Control, you can choose the exact distance you wish to keep from other vehicles. Then allow your car to take over, braking and accelerating as required to maintain that safe distance while you drive.
Forward Collision Alert
Your risk of a front-end collision is further reduced with Forward Collision Alert. If you’re ever getting too close to the car in front or if any potential obstacle appears in the road, your car will immediately alert you visually and audibly.
Automatic Emergency Braking
If you fail to react promptly to a collision warning, your car will brake for you. Automatic Emergency Braking has quicker response times than most human drivers and even uses anti-lock brakes to reduce the chance of a skid when suddenly stopping.
Lane Change Alert
Drifting into another lane is always a danger when on longer drives. Modern Chevys will warn you if this occurs and can even gently steer you back to safety.
Side Blind Spot Alert
Another risk is changing lanes when another vehicle is entering your blind spot. Side Blind Spot Alert helps you avoid lane change collisions with a visual warning on your mirror and dashboard.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Another common cause of crashes is when a driver has a limited view while backing out into a road. With Modern Chevys, you no longer need to simply hope for the best or depend on the safe reactions of other drivers. Your car detects any oncoming vehicles and lets you know when it’s safe to back out.
Ask for a Demo at Your Local Chevy Dealer
