With more cars on the road than ever before, it’s never been so important to get a car with decent safety features. If you head on over to your local Chevy dealer, you will find that all modern Chevrolets come with tons of innovative, groundbreaking car safety features that will help keep you and your family safe on the road. Here are just a few examples of the safety features you can expect to see on today’s Chevy vehicles.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Old cruise control used to simply keep you driving at a set speed, whereas now, with modern, intelligent cruise control, your car actually reacts to the traffic around you too. To allow for more stoppage space, this adaptive cruise control aligns itself to the speed of the car in front of you; if it slows down, so do you. You can also choose to select the distance you would like your car to keep from the next car. Cruise control just got much safer and more reliable.
Cross-Traffic Alert
Do you hate backing out of a blind driveway onto a busy road? Well, with cross-traffic alert, these issues are a thing of the past! Mounted on the very rear of the car, these sensors give a warning when traffic is coming down the road you are trying to back onto, giving you more time to react.
Surround Vision
With cameras set up all around the sides and back of the car, the surround vision feature can display everything that is happening around you onto an overhead image, meaning you will always know what is going on, even in your blind spots. Never will you need to rely on your passengers to tell you where traffic is or if it’s safe to change lanes yet.
Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Braking
This is your Chevy’s last-ditch attempt to save itself and you, should all of the other safety features fail you. Firstly, this system will fire a load of warning messages at you to try to alert you of danger in front of you. If this still doesn’t make you slow down then it will apply the emergency brakes to avoid – or at least lessen the damage of – a dangerous collision.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
To keep you in the correct lane on motorways, this system alerts you whenever you have inadvertently left your lane; technology that is useful in case you’ve fallen asleep at the wheel. Also, by implementing corrective steering, your Chevy will automatically realign itself with the lanes using its smart lane detecting technology.
Well, that’s just about it. These are just some of the incredible safety features you’ll find on today’s Chevys – there are also many more we haven’t mentioned – that’ll give you peace of mind on the road.
