Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking
The purpose of this safety feature is to help you avoid collisions before they occur. It works by monitoring the road ahead of you and warning you if the car in front of you is too close. This system can even automatically provide hard emergency braking to help you avoid or at least mitigate a collision at lower speeds during the day.
Front Pedestrian Braking
Similar to how your Chevy can help you avoid other cars, it can also help you avoid pedestrians. This system is designed to keep an eye out for pedestrians, warn you of a potential accident, and lay on the brakes to help enhance your braking power. This feature works best at speeds under 50 mph in the daytime.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
Sometimes, we drift out of our lane without even realizing it. This system is designed to notice when you are veering out of your lane unintentionally, and it can help you get back on track. It works by detecting road lines and recognizing when you are starting to drift. If it senses that you are leaving your lane unintentionally, the system will provide an alert and gently nudge your steering wheel to help you get back into place. This system will not activate if your turn signal is on, or if it senses that you are steering out of your lane on purpose.
Following Distance Indicator
This feature helps you maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you by providing you with the following gap time in seconds. This can help you judge whether you are following the car ahead of you too closely and give you the heads up you need to back off if you are getting a little bit too close. It's a handy feature that can help you avoid rear-ending the person in front of you by reminding you to keep your distance.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
The goal of this feature is to help you avoid lane change collisions. It watches your blind spot for you, and it gives you an alert if it senses that you are trying to merge while there is an oncoming vehicle. This helpful feature can help you avoid getting surprised by vehicles trying to pass you on the highway.
Rear Park Assist
This feature is designed to help you avoid collisions at low speeds when you are in reverse. It works by detecting objects behind your vehicle and warning you so that you can back up with greater confidence.
