How Chevrolet Assist Technology Improves Your Teen's Safety in Bloomington, IN
Whether you’re shopping for a used Malibu or a brand-new Trailblazer, Chevrolet has advanced safety technology that’s designed to keep your family safe. Across the brand’s lineup, you’ll find a wealth of standard and available safety innovations, including the innovative conveniences of Chevy Safety Assist. Here’s a look at how bundle of built-in driver-assist features safeguard your teen driver here in Bloomington, Indiana.
Teen Driver Mode
You can’t always be your teen’s co-pilot — that’s why Chevy equipped its lineup with Teen Driver Mode. This smart infotainment feature lets you set speed limits and audio volume limits. It even provides the industry’s only in-vehicle report cards. These report cards show you how many times your teen’s driving habits activated the automated safety systems, so you can coach your young driver on smart ways to stay safe behind the wheel. And best of all, this smart feature comes standard on virtually every Chevrolet model, from small electrified models like the Bolt EV to family-friendly SUVs like the Trailblazer, and capable trucks including the Silverado 1500.
Buckle to Drive
Buckling up can save lives — but many teens neglect this essential safety measure when they’re behind the wheel unsupervised. The industry-first Buckle to Dive feature prevents your teen from shifting out of park until they’ve fastened their seatbelt. The system also provides audio and visual reminders to buckle up.
Front Pedestrian Braking
Whether your teen is driving around downtown Bloomington with friends or navigating through the college campus, they’re bound to be sharing the road with pedestrians. Front Pedestrian Braking can help your youngster avoid accidents by scanning the road and automatically applying the brakes when needed.
Forward Collision Alert
It never hurts to have an extra set of eyes on the road — especially when an inexperienced driver is behind the wheel. Forward Collision Alert monitors the road for obstacles and other vehicles. If it detects a potential front-end collision, it will alert your teen to take action.
Following Distance Indicator
It can be tough for a new teen driver to judge and maintain an appropriate stopping distance. The Following Distance Indicator takes the guesswork out of keeping a safe distance from other vehicles on the road around Bloomington.
Automatic Emergency Braking
Even if just for a split second, teen drivers can easily become distracted behind the wheel. That’s why Automatic Emergency Braking works in tandem with Forward Collision Alert to keep your teen safe on the road. If the vehicle detects an imminent crash, it will automatically apply the brakes to mitigate damage.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
As its name suggests, this intelligent safety feature alerts your teen if they begin to drift from their lane. Lane Keep Assist will provide gentle steering correction to help your teen stay the course.
IntelliBeam® Automatic Headlamps
Young drivers may have a tough time discerning when to activate the high beams when driving in Bloomington at night. IntelliBeam® Automatic Headlamps take the guesswork out of this process — they switch on when needed and temporarily switch off to avoid blinding other drivers.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
Your teen will be able to change lanes confidently with this convenient available feature. It offers a visual side-mirror alert when the system detects a rapidly approaching vehicle or a car that’s already in their side blind zone.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Backing out into a busy parking lot on campus or downtown at rush hour can be a hassle for any driver, but even more so for a teen. This optional feature scans behind the vehicle when it’s moving in reverse. If it detects anything in the path, the system will provide an alert.
Rear Park Assist
This innovative optional feature (available on recent Chevy models like the Trax) takes the guesswork out of maneuvering a vehicle into a parking spot. It utilizes an advanced suite of sensors to detect objects that might be hiding in the driver’s blind spot, so your teenager will have an extra set of eyes to help them maneuver safely.
