Chevy Safety Features: What’s New in 2024

Safety has always been a key part of every Chevy vehicle, and in 2024 Chevrolet has taken this to a new level. The key system that’s making waves is the Chevy Safety Assist system. Let’s dive into this system and see how these Chevy safety features protect you, your passengers, and your Chevy against potential accidents.

Forward Collision Alert (FCA)

This system uses a forward camera, assisted by radar sensors if they’re installed in your Chevy, to scan the road ahead of you. It calculates your speed and distance from a vehicle ahead of you, and a red warning light will flash to warn you of the potential for a collision so you can take corrective action.

Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

This system works with the FCA above to reduce your speed or even stop your Chevy to prevent an accident. If the FCA identifies a collision risk, a green warning icon will appear on your Driver Information Center. If you don’t respond quickly enough, the AEB will apply automatic braking to reduce your speed or bring your Chevy to a stop.

This system is automatically active when you’re traveling at speeds between 5 mph and 50 mph.

Following Distance Indicator

 If this system determines that you’re too close to the other vehicle, it will warn you so you can reduce speed and increase the distance.

Lane Keep Assist With Lane Departure Warning

This system focuses on keeping your Chevy within the lane lines. If it detects that you’re unintentionally straying out of your lane, it turns your steering wheel gently to bring your car back on course. The system is disabled if you’re actively steering.

If your Chevy continues to move out of the lane, and you’re not actively steering, the system will sound a series of beeps that you need to move back into the lane.

Front Pedestrian Braking

This feature scans the road ahead for moving or stationary pedestrians. If it detects a pedestrian in front of you, an amber pedestrian warning light will illuminate. This warning light changes to red and will also sound an alarm if the distance between your Chevy and the pedestrian is closing too rapidly.

Intellibeam Auto High Beam Assist

This safety feature uses sensors to switch your headlights between high and low beams depending on lighting conditions. It also monitors for approaching headlights and automatically switches to low beams until the other vehicle has moved away.
