chevrolet-safety-features
  Chevrolet vehicles are some of the most capable ones in their respective classes — but it’s important to feel safe when putting those capabilities to good use. Built for adventure but designed for safety, Chevy offers a suite of active safety technologies that will put you and your family at ease.* Here’s a breakdown of some of the top features of the GM safety system.

Chevrolet Safety Technologies at a Glance

Front Pedestrian Braking

Keep yourself and pedestrians out of harm’s way. Front Pedestrian Braking can detect when there is a person ahead within your vehicle’s trajectory. If it identifies a risk of collision with the pedestrian, it will engage the brakes.

Forward Automatic Braking

Mitigate a potential head-on collision. Forward Automatic Braking will identify a potential collision ahead and apply braking as needed. Whether it’s a high or low speed accident, this feature can help.

Lane Keep Assist With Lane Departure Warning

Stay in your lane throughout your entire drive. If you start to veer outside of your lane without your turning signal on, this feature provides lane departure warnings and light steering adjustments to ensure you stay safely in your lane.

Forward Collision Alert

Stay safe in traffic. A lot of starting and stopping can be tricky, and Forward Collision Alert will help you avoid bumping into the car in front of you accordingly. It will alert you if you approach the vehicle ahead too closely.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

Back out of a parking spot or driveway with confidence. This feature will detect whether there is cross traffic behind your car, coming either from the left or right side, and alert you to it.
