Chevy’s all-new 2019 Silverado is ready to impress. With serious power, performance, and a tough build, it blows away the competition, but it’s also boasting some impressive safety features. Size and grit aren’t always enough to keep you safe on the road, so the Silverado is offering its drivers more. Here are the top safety features of the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado.
Forward Collision Alert With Automatic Braking
While behind the wheel of a 2019 Silverado, you’ll have the support you want from smart systems such as forward collision alert. This safety feature helps you keep an eye on the road ahead and will alert the driver of potential forward collisions or if he or she is following too close. If the system detects an on-coming collision, but the driver isn’t applying the brakes in response to the warning, the automatic braking will kick in to slow the vehicle down.
Lane Change Alerts With Blind-Spot Monitoring
Changing lanes on a busy highway can be dangerous and stressful. But the Silverado’s Lane Change Alert system eases some of the worry. If you begin to change lanes without properly signaling, it can alert the driver with signals in the side mirrors. The blind-spot monitoring system will also let the driver know if a vehicle is approaching quickly on the side in a blind spot while he or she is signaling a lane change.
Lane-Keeping Assistance
While driving on the highway, it can be easy to drift out of your lane unintentionally. The 2019 Silverado lane-keeping assistance system with lane departure warning will alert the driver if he or she begins to exit the lane without signaling. This system can even correct your steering to get you back on track, if necessary.
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Rearview Camera
Whether you’re backing out of a driving or parking space, the rear cross-traffic alert safety system will warn you if it detects approaching traffic from either side. Using the rearview camera featured in the rearview mirror, this alert system will make maneuvering out of spaces in busy parking lots much less stressful.
Towing Safety
No matter what you’re towing with the Silverado’s pounds of towing capability, you’ll be able to keep yourself and your cargo safe. A rear trailer camera keeps your load in sight when needed. The electric parking brake with trailer assist helps keep your Silverado safely in place while hooking up your cargo. With trailer theft alerts, you won’t need to worry about your precious cargo while away from the vehicle. An alarm will sound if any theft attempt is detected, and you can even have alerts sent to your phone.
None of these safety systems can or should replace safe driving practices, but they are meant to be a help to drivers. Many of the alerts that come with these safety features can be integrated into the driver’s seat through the available safety alert seat.
