Chevrolet puts safety first and foremost when designing its cars. You can see this in the incredible level of advanced car safety features in their vehicles, both structural and technological. From the moment you drive away from your Chevy dealer’s lot, you’re in safe hands. Let’s take a look at seven of the best of these features you’ll find in your Chevy.
7 Great Car Safety Features You’ll Find on Today’s Chevy Vehicles
Forward Collision Alert
A high proportion of road accidents are front-end collisions. To mitigate this risk, your Chevy constantly scans the road ahead and gives you a clear warning if it detects a possibility of collision. This feature adapts to the level of light, just as a driver should. It can also give you a tailgating alert, to let you know if you’re following a car a little too closely.
Automatic Emergency Braking
Human reaction times aren’t as quick as those of computers. So if your Chevy warns you of a potential front-end collision and you fail to react in time, the car will react for you. It will brake your vehicle at just the right degree to ensure you don’t touch the car ahead.
Following Distance Indicator
In warm weather months, it’s recommended to keep a three-second gap between you and the car in front. During poor weather or winter, this gap should be extended to eight seconds or even ten seconds. To help you judge just the right distance, your Chevy always provides you with the distance between you and the car ahead, measured in seconds, displayed clearly on your dashboard.
Front Pedestrian Braking
It’s not only other vehicles you need to look out for on the road. While driving under 50 mph during the day, your Chevy also scans the road ahead for pedestrians. If it detects a pedestrian on the road, it will warn you and even hard brake if necessary.
Keep Lane Assist
Even the best of drivers can occasionally become sleepy or distracted while on the highway. When this happens, you’re in danger of wandering across lanes. Or you would be if you weren’t driving a Chevy. The Keep Lane Assist feature uses a tiny nudge of the steering wheel to let you know of the danger.
High-Strength Steel Frames
If an accident were to occur, you’re far safer in a Chevy than many other vehicles. Apart from ten standard airbags, each Chevy model has high-strength steel frames to keep the driver and all passengers as protected from harm as possible.
OnStar Accident Alert
The moment your car has a collision of any sort, the computerized systems in your car will alert OnStar representatives, so they can immediately get in touch with you to see what further assistance you need. If you don’t respond, they’ll use your GPS to locate you and have emergency vehicles called to your location.
