Staying Safe On the Road with Chevy

When you’re navigating the busy Lowell Connector during rush hour or heading out for a family dinner at Cobblestones, the safety of your loved ones is the number one priority. In a world full of distractions, having a vehicle equipped with the latest safety technology provides invaluable peace of mind. That’s why Chevrolet has made a profound commitment to safety, integrating a suite of advanced features designed to protect you and your passengers on every journey. But what exactly are these features, and how do they help you in your daily drives around Lowell and beyond?

Standard Confidence: The Chevy Safety Assist Suite

A major part of Chevrolet’s safety strategy is making crucial technologies standard across many of its models. The Chevy Safety Assist package is a bundle of six advanced driver-assistance features that act as an extra set of eyes on the road.

  • Automatic Emergency Braking & Forward Collision Alert: This system scans the road ahead and warns you of a potential collision with a vehicle you’re following. If you don’t react in time, it can automatically apply hard emergency braking to help reduce the severity of the impact, a vital feature when dealing with the stop-and-go traffic on Gorham Street.
  • Front Pedestrian Braking: Especially important in a city with vibrant, walkable areas like downtown Lowell near the Merrimack Repertory Theater, this feature can detect a pedestrian directly in front of you and apply the brakes to help avoid or lessen the impact of a collision.
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning: Long drives out of town on I-495 can lead to unintentional drifting. This system provides gentle steering wheel turns to help guide you back into your lane if it detects you’re straying without signaling.
  • Following Distance Indicator: This feature helps you maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead by displaying the gap time in seconds, helping you avoid tailgating.
  • IntelliBeam® Auto High Beams: On darker roads outside the city center, like those heading towards Westford, this system automatically switches the headlamps between high and low beams depending on surrounding traffic conditions, so you can focus on the road.

Advanced Protection for Every Situation

Beyond the standard suite, Chevrolet offers a wide array of available technologies designed to enhance driver awareness and provide another layer of security.

  • HD Surround Vision: This available feature uses multiple cameras to display a digital overhead image of the area around your vehicle. It’s perfect for maneuvering into a tight parking spot at the Market Basket or navigating the crowded lots during the Lowell Folk Festival.
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Braking: When you’re backing out of a space, this system can warn you of detected cross traffic behind you and can even apply the brakes to help avoid a collision.
  • Adaptive Cruise Control: This advanced feature can automatically maintain a driver-selected gap time from the vehicle you’re following, reducing the need to frequently brake and accelerate on longer trips. It’s a fantastic tool for making the commute to Boston more manageable.

For those with new drivers in the family, Chevrolet’s Teen Driver technology is a built-in system that helps you coach them even when you’re not in the car. It allows you to set a speed alert, a volume limit, and provides an in-vehicle report card to track their performance, offering peace of mind when they take the car to Lowell High School events.
