Chevy Driver-Assist Technology Features

With this Chevrolet-exclusive safety technology, you will have access to the following advanced safety features:

Front Pedestrian Braking

If the system detects that a pedestrian is directly in front of you and a collision is imminent, and you have not already applied the brakes, the system automatically alerts you and applies the brakes to help you reduce or avoid the severity of the collision. 

Forward Collision Alert Technology

Designed to work with speeds above 5 miles per hour, the forward collision alert technology warns you that you are driving too closely to the vehicle in front of you. Using sensors, cameras, or both to monitor vehicles directly in front of you, the system automatically alerts you if it detects that a front-end collision is imminent. 

Automatic Emergency Braking

Chevy's auto stop feature makes the forward collision alert technology that much safer. Chevy's automatic emergency braking system helps you prevent or reduce the severity of a front-end collision. It provides hard emergency braking or enhances your hard braking. If you are approaching another car too closely or at a rapid speed, and the system determines that you are not taking sufficient action to stop or slow the vehicle, the system immediately intervenes and assists with slowing or stopping the vehicle.

Lane-Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

Lane-keep assist is an advanced safety system that sends you a warning signal when you start to drift out of your lane without using the turn signal. However, it's more sophisticated than it may sound. The system is paired with lane departure warning, which uses your vehicle's camera to monitor the lane on which you travel. It automatically senses when you drift to the right or left. 

When lane-keep assist and lane departure warning are activated, they give you a warning signal if you sway out of your lane. They then adjust your steering wheel to glide you back into place. If the systems detects a trend, such as drifting twice, it automatically alerts you with a beep. 

Following Distance Indicator

Typically, you will want to maintain a following distance of at least three seconds when you are behind another car. That way, you will have time to respond and stop or slow the vehicle if necessary. Chevrolet's Following Distance Indicator helps you with this. It estimates how many seconds are between you and the vehicle ahead of you, so you can maintain a safe gap. 

IntelliBeam

When the IntelliBeam system is activated, the Trailblazer's high-beam headlights will automatically switch on if there is no oncoming traffic or cars ahead of you. If the sensors detect other cars, it automatically switches back to normal illumination. 

Adaptive Cruise Control

This safety feature can make long drives more convenient while also keeping you safe. Like the Trailblazer's front pedestrian braking, the adaptive cruise control uses a forward-looking camera to monitor traffic ahead. It allows you to automatically follow leading cars at a selected gap time while you focus on steering. When activated, the system reduces the need for frequent acceleration and braking, so you can get the most out of your time on the open road. When a slower car moves out of your lane, the Trailblazer automatically accelerates back to your set speed.
