Chevy Safety: Forward Collision Alert in Radford, VA
Learn More About the Forward Collision Alert Safety Feature
While you can never predict what's to come, Chevy helps you stay prepared on the Blacksburg roads ahead with a selection of standard and available driver-assistance features. As you explore our new Chevrolet inventory of new cars, trucks, and SUVs at Harvey's GM Chevrolet Buick, you'll find some models, like the Silverado 1500 or the Equinox, equipped with a Forward Collision Alert. This convenient safety feature is included to help keep you and your passengers safe on your daily Christiansburg drives and weekend getaways.
How Does the Forward Collision Alert Work?
Depending on your specific model, the Forward Collision Alert uses a forward-looking camera and radar to monitor the distance between you and the vehicle ahead. When the system detects a vehicle in your path, you'll see a green icon on your Driver Information Center. If you're following this vehicle too closely, that icon will turn amber. If you approach the vehicle too quickly and are seconds away from a possible collision, the Forward Collision Alert will flash red warning dots onto your windshield and emit high-pitched beeps.
If your vehicle is equipped with a Head-Up Display, you'll see a graphic visual alert on the windshield instead. Plus, if you have the Safety Alert Seat feature, you can opt for seat pulses instead of the high-pitched beeps.
Drivers can customize the Forward Collision Alert feature to detect a selected distance. You can choose Far, Medium, or Near on the steering wheel controls to feel confident on the Salem, VA roads ahead. Meanwhile, this feature can be turned off or on at any time in the vehicle settings menu.
Why is the Forward Collision Alert Such a Great Safety Feature?
The Forward Collision Alert safety feature offers additional peace of mind when behind the wheel. Whether navigating rush hour traffic or tackling a busy intersection, you can feel confident commanding the roads ahead. You'll enjoy a more relaxing driving experience while on long road trips or running errands around town.
