Chevy Safety Assist: Standard Protection

Safety is not an option in Florida; it is a priority. That is why Chevrolet includes Chevy Safety Assist as standard equipment on the vast majority of its new SUVs and trucks. This suite of six advanced driver-assistance technologies uses cameras and sensors to help you monitor your surroundings, avoid collisions, and drive with confidence on the busy roads of Orange Park and Jacksonville.


The Six Standard Features

Every vehicle equipped with Chevy Safety Assist includes these six core technologies:

  • 1. Automatic Emergency Braking

    At speeds below 50 mph, this system works with Forward Collision Alert to help you avoid or reduce the severity of a front-end collision with a detected vehicle. Camera technology monitors traffic ahead and can automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver's hard braking.
  • 2. Front Pedestrian Braking

    This system helps you avoid or reduce the severity of a front-end collision with a pedestrian it detects directly ahead of you. It provides pedestrian alerts and can even automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking. It works at speeds below 50 mph during the daytime.
  • 3. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

    If you unintentionally drift out of your detected lane lines, this system uses a brief, gentle steering wheel turn to alert you. If you do not react, it may also provide a Lane Departure Warning alert. It does not alert you if you are using your turn signal or if it detects you may be intentionally steering.
  • 4. Forward Collision Alert

    This feature warns you if it detects a potential front-end collision with a vehicle you are following so you can take action. It can also provide a tailgating alert if you are following a vehicle much too closely.
  • 5. Following Distance Indicator

    This system displays the following gap time in seconds between your vehicle and a detected vehicle you are following. This can help you decide if you are following much too closely.
  • 6. IntelliBeam High Beam Assist

    This technology automatically turns the vehicle's high beam headlamps on and off according to surrounding traffic conditions. It helps you see more of the road in dark conditions without blinding other drivers.

Additional Available Safety Features

Beyond the standard suite, many Chevrolet models offer additional safety technologies for even greater peace of mind:


  • Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert:

    Provides visual side-mirror alerts when a moving vehicle is detected in a side blind zone or is rapidly approaching a side blind zone.

  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert:

    Warns you of detected left or right cross traffic behind your vehicle when you are in Reverse.

  • Rear Park Assist:

    Provides distance alerts to nearby detected objects behind your vehicle to help you park and avoid collisions when in Reverse.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I turn off these safety features?

Yes. Most features, such as Lane Keep Assist and Forward Collision Alert, can be customized or turned off through the vehicle settings menu or dedicated buttons on the steering wheel/dashboard. However, they default to "On" each time the vehicle is started to ensure maximum safety.

Does Automatic Emergency Braking work at highway speeds?

The standard system typically operates at speeds below 50 mph. Some models offer an available Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking system that functions at higher speeds.

Do I need a subscription for these features?

No. Chevy Safety Assist features are built into the vehicle and do not require an OnStar subscription or data plan to function.
