Chevy Safety Assist

When you’re driven by safety like Chevrolet is you make sure your vehicle is packed with features to keep yourself and your family or passengers as safe as possible.  That is why Chevrolet has made Chevy Safety Assist standard on all it’s 2024 vehicles (except for the Camaro, which is on its last ride).  Chevy Safety Assist consist of six features that include:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Forward Collision Alert
  • Front Pedestrian Braking
  • Following Distance Indicator
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
  • Intellibeam

This bundle of safety features work together to provide you the assistance a driver needs to drive more confidently every time you get behind the wheel.  Let’s look at what each of these features does to deliver a a safer driving experience.

Automatic Emergency Braking

Automatic Emergency Braking works hand-in-hand with the Front Collision Alert to help avoid accidents or reduce the severity of a front-end collision if it occurs.  Camera technology is used to detect a vehicle your following, even at highway speeds, and to automatically apply hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking when it senses an accident could occur.

Forward Collision Alert

Forward Collision Alert can warn you if it detects a potential front-end collision with a vehicle that you are following so you can take action, and the Automatic Emergency Braking can assist you in slowing down or stopping.  It will also provide you with a notification if you’re following a vehicle too closely so you can slow down before having to brake quickly.

Front Pedestrian Braking

Front Pedestrian Braking can help you avoid collisions with or reduce the severity of a collision with a pedestrian.  The system works at speeds under 50 mph during daytime, but works with limited performance during nighttime or low visibility conditions such as rain or fog.

Following Distance Indicator

The Following Distance Indicator measures the gap time between you and the vehicle in front of you, if it is detected.  This feature can help you determine if your following too closely and may need to slow down.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning will help keep you in your lane if you accidently drift out of detected lane lines.  It does this by using a gently brief steering wheel turn to alert you.  The vehicle will alert you if you are using your turn signal or it detects purposeful steering.  You can also choose to receive additional Lane Departure alerts.

Intellibeam

When you are traveling over 25mph Intellibeam will automatically turn your highbeams on and off according to surrounding traffic conditions

Now you can drive with confidence knowing that you have the entire Chevy Safety Assist system working together to increase the safety of everyone in your Chevrolet vehicle.  For added security there are additional options such as Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Adaptive Cruise Control.  And if you’re a parent you can rest assured your teenage drivers are in good hands with Chevy’s Teen Driver Technology.
