It used to be that you’d be lucky if your new car came with an airbag. Things have certainly changed in the last couple of decades. Many vehicles – including several Chevy models – are now outfitted with the most advanced safety features. If you’re shopping for a new Chevy vehicle near me, your dealer will show you a number of standard and optional driver-assist features.
Forward Collision Warning
Chevy cars are constantly scanning the road looking for a possible collision. If one is detected, you will get a quick alert.
Forward Automatic Emergency Braking
If you don’t pay attention to that alert or don’t react fast enough, your car can put the brakes on and even bring itself to a complete stop if necessary.
Lane Departure Warning
These days, it can be very easy to get distracted while driving and drift out of your lane. If this happens, your car will issue a warning.
Lane Keep Assist
The vehicle can then guide itself back where it needs to be if you don’t do this quickly enough.
Blind Spot Monitoring
There is only so much vision you can get with your mirrors; this is where blind spot monitoring comes in handy. Using sensors, you’ll always be aware of any vehicles in places you can’t easily see.
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
With this feature, you’ll always know when it’s safe to back up, as your car monitors the road in both directions and will alert you if there is any oncoming traffic.
If you’d like to see how some of these safety components work, come to Phelps Chevrolet in Greenville to test-drive one of our safe and fun new Chevy models.
