Driver and passenger safety is more important than ever as roads become increasingly crowded with construction crews, cars, cyclists, motorcycles, and more. Chevrolet has invested time, money, and effort into developing the advanced safety features found throughout its lineup of cars, trucks, and SUVs. No matter if you are on your daily commute or on a road trip, Chevrolet vehicles have available safety features to keep you, your passengers, other drivers, and even pedestrians, safe.
Active Safety Technologies
Available active safety features are crucial aspects of every Chevrolet vehicle. These safety features actively assist you as you drive, and they cover a broad range of significant safety concerns. Let’s explore a few of Chevrolet’s available safety features:
- Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking: This safety system uses cameras, sensors, and warnings to actively assist drivers in emergency situations. Warnings such as forward collision alert and tailgating alert let you know when a front-end collision is possible. These warnings provide you with time to react to avoid or reduce the severity of a crash. When necessary, this system can automatically engage hard emergency braking or enhance hard braking that you initiated.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Cruise control helps drivers by allowing them to relax their legs while on a long road trip. Adaptive cruise control takes this concept to another level by keeping your vehicle at a set driver-selected gap time from any cars detected ahead of you on the road, while you continue to steer. In addition, by reducing frequent braking and acceleration, adaptive cruise control allows you to rest your legs and helps conserve fuel.
- Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert: Side blind zones are, to some degree, present in every Chevrolet. This safety system gives visual side mirror alerts to apprise you of an approaching car, or if one is present in your vehicle’s side blind zone. When relying on this available safety feature, you are less likely to have lane-change collisions.
Teen Driver Safety System
Chevrolet vehicles equipped with the teen driver safety system are perfect for teenagers learning to drive, or for less experienced drivers in general. In addition, you can customize the settings of this system to associate with a specific key fob.
These settings help to reinforce better driving behaviors. For example, you can automatically engage certain safety features equipped in your car, truck, or SUV, and limit specific vehicle features. The teen driver safety system also generates an in-depth vehicle report card with detailed information about the driver’s habits. In addition, Buckle-to-Drive is included with this system and will lock the vehicle in park for up to 20 seconds when the driver’s seat belt is not in use.
Chevrolet prides itself in providing consumers with some of the safest vehicles on the road. A few more available safety features that Chevrolet incorporates into its vehicles are front pedestrian braking, a rear vision camera, high-definition surround vision, a rear camera mirror, rear cross-traffic alert, rear park assist, and Intellibeam auto high-beam assist. Chevrolet works hard to provide you with the most state-of-the-art safety features so you can enjoy a stress-free driving experience and be sure to stop by Cable Dahmer of Topeka in Topeka, KS to check out the newest Chevrolet models we have for sale!
