Chevy ADAS: Staying Safe on the Road

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance System, a range of advanced safety features designed to make driving easier and less stressful by protecting you and your vehicle. Your Chevy ADAS, known as Chevy Safety Assist, includes six major systems and a range of available features that work together to keep you safe.

Chevy ADAS: Staying Safe on the Road

Lane Keep Assist

This system works proactively to keep your Chevy inside the lane lines. It uses a forward-looking camera to identify the lines and will automatically warn you if you drift across them. A warning will appear on your screen, and you’ll hear a warning sound. The steering wheel will gently tug you back toward the center of your lane.

The system doesn’t respond if you activate the turn indicator in the direction you’re moving or if you actively turn the steering wheel in that direction.

Following Distance Indicator

This feature allows you to always keep a safe distance from a vehicle in front of you. It uses radar to identify the distance from your front bumper to the rear bumper of the vehicle in front of you and displays the distance in seconds on your screen. This enables you to decide if you’re too close to another vehicle and take action to correct it.

Forward Collision Alert

This active system uses a camera and radar to warn you if the distance is closing between you and another vehicle. If it determines that a collision is possible, a warning will sound, and you’ll also see a visual warning on your screen so you can brake or swerve to prevent a collision.

Automatic Emergency Braking

This feature works with Forward Collision Alert. If you’ve been warned of an impending collision and can’t react in time, emergency braking is initiated to instantly stop your Chevy to try and prevent an accident. If a collision can’t be averted, the reduced speed will decrease the chance of injury.

Front Pedestrian Braking

When you’re driving in the city, pedestrians can sometimes step onto the road without thinking or warning, and this can cause an accident. This braking feature uses sensors to detect pedestrians or animals that move in front of your vehicle. A warning will sound, and automatic braking will be activated to reduce injury if a collision can’t be prevented.

IntelliBeam

Your Chevy’s headlights react intelligently with this feature and will automatically switch from high beams to low beams. Sensors in the headlights detect the light from another vehicle’s headlights and shift to low beams to prevent blinding the other driver. Once the light source disappears, your headlights revert to high beams again.
