Safety Before

Chevrolet offers technologies that provide you with information and safety features specifically designed to help you avoid a crash. In this section you will learn how Chevy:

Antilock Brake System (ABS)

ABS helps you maintain steering control by reducing wheel lockup during hard braking on most slippery surfaces.

Available on select models for:

StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System

The StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System helps you stay on course by detecting the difference between the steering wheel angle and the direction the vehicle is actually turning. StabiliTrak "reads" the steering wheel position, the amount of sideways force in play, the speed of the vehicle and the vehicle's response to steering wheel input. It then uses the brakes and, if necessary, adjusts engine torque to help you keep your vehicle on track. Antilock Brakes and Traction Control are integral to the GM StabiliTrak system.

Available on select models for:

Traction Control

This important safety feature helps reduce wheel spin during acceleration if surfaces you're driving on are slippery. Certain traction control systems combine the ABS speed sensors with the braking system and a Powertrain Control Module to help your vehicle regain traction.

Available on select models for:

Daytime Running Lamps

Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs) are reduced-intensity lights on the front of vehicles that automatically illuminate when the vehicle is started. They make the vehicle easier to see for other drivers and pedestrians approaching from the front and side in a variety of daytime conditions, including fog, rain, dusk and bright sunlight. DRLs help reduce the risk of crashes.

Standard on every Chevy vehicle.

Driver Information Center (DIC)

The DIC keeps you informed of key vehicle functions while you're on the road. Depending on the vehicle, it displays helpful messages, including change oil, hot/cool temp, door ajar, trunk open, low oil pressure, low fuel, low washer fluid, tire pressure information and more. NOTE: The presence and location of the DIC depends on vehicle.

Available on select models for:

StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System

Introduced on select 2009 Chevrolet vehicles, this technology is designed to help alert drivers so they can avoid lane changes where there are vehicles in the "side blind zone." Alternating radar beams in the system sweep adjacent lanes of traffic, covering a zone of about one lane over from both sides of the vehicle. When the system detects a vehicle in the "side blind zone," an amber display lights up on the vehicle's outside rearview mirrors.

Before making a lane change, always check the Side Blind Zone Alert display, check the outside and inside rearview mirrors, look over your shoulder for vehicles and hazard, and start the turn signal.

Available on select models for:

  • SUVs/Crossovers
    • Surburban
    • Tahoe
