Understanding these features can help you choose the right Chevrolet and make the most of the technology already built into your vehicle.
Chevy Safety Assist
Chevy Safety Assist is a collection of driver-assistance technologies included on many new Chevrolet models. These systems are designed to help drivers stay aware of their surroundings and respond to potential hazards. They do not replace safe driving habits, but they can provide another layer of confidence during everyday travel.
Automatic Emergency Braking
This system monitors the road ahead and can warn you when a front-end collision appears likely. If you do not react quickly enough, it may automatically apply the brakes to help reduce the severity of an impact or avoid one altogether.
Forward Collision Alert
Working alongside Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert can notify you when you are following another vehicle too closely or approaching traffic ahead at an unsafe speed.
Lane Keep Assist
If your Chevrolet detects that you are unintentionally drifting from your lane without using a turn signal, Lane Departure Warning can alert you. Lane Keep Assist may also provide gentle steering input to help guide your vehicle back toward the center of the lane.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Rear Cross Traffic Alert monitors traffic behind your vehicle and can warn you when another vehicle is crossing your path while you are backing out of a driveway or parking space.
Blind Zone Steering Assist
This technology helps detect vehicles traveling in your blind spot and may provide steering assistance to help avoid an unsafe lane change.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a selected following distance from the vehicle ahead, helping create a smoother experience during highway driving and changing traffic conditions.
HD Surround Vision
Using multiple cameras placed around the vehicle, HD Surround Vision creates a virtual bird’s-eye view that can help you maneuver into tight parking spaces, avoid obstacles, and improve visibility around your Chevrolet.
Teen Driver Technology
Chevrolet’s available Teen Driver feature allows parents to activate settings that encourage safer driving habits, review an in-vehicle report card, and limit certain vehicle features until seat belts are fastened.
