2024 Chevy Blazer EV: Safety Features

 

Chevy has a well-known reputation for safety based on rigorous testing, the use of only the highest-quality materials, and outstanding safety features. As your Chevy dealer in Vancouver, WA, we’d like to explain how the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV’s many safety systems work.

 

 

From Your Chevy Dealer in Vancouver, WA: Safety Features of the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV

Forward Collision Alert (FCA)

This system uses radar and lasers to identify objects in front of you and their distance from your vehicle. The FCA will immediately alert you of any potential danger in front of you, which gives you time to take corrective action to prevent an accident.

 

 

Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB)

The FPB uses a combination of radar and lasers to detect anyone walking in front of your vehicle. It determines their position and speed and will sound a warning and brake to try and prevent striking the pedestrian.

 

 

Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

AEB also uses radar and lasers, and it works with the FCA above to either reduce your speed or bring your vehicle to a stop. The system detects objects and computes their speed compared to your vehicle’s speed. If you don’t take action to brake, the AEB will engage the brakes for you.

 

 An AEB isn’t a substitute for driver awareness, and it can’t guarantee a collision won’t happen. It can slow down or stop your car to prevent or mitigate an accident hopefully. The IIHS estimates that AEB, combined with the FCA above, reduces accidents with injuries by up to 56%.

 

 

Following Distance Indicator (FDI)

You’d have learned the three-second rule when you were learning for your driver’s license. This rule advises that you should always keep at least a three-second distance between your car and any vehicle ahead of you.

 

 The FDI is a more advanced version of this system, as it computes the gap between your car and the vehicle ahead of you in seconds and displays it. This lets you determine if you’re too close to the other vehicle.

 

 

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning (LKA/LDW)

This technology uses cameras in the front of your car to “see” the lane markings and keep your car in the center of the lane. If the cameras detect that your car is moving too far toward one side of the line without you actively steering, the system will warn you and gently pull your car back into the center of your lane.

 

 

Intellibeam Auto High Beams

This technology uses sensors to determine the light level, automatically switching your headlights to high beams in darkness. The sensor will also automatically shift the lights to low beams if it detects another vehicle ahead of you.
