Most drivers have, at some point, become distracted behind the wheel — and modern Chevrolet safety features can help prevent accidents when you lose focus. This April, take part in Distracted Driving Awareness Month by keeping your eyes on the road with a little high-tech help from your favorite vehicle. You can test out the features in person at Blaise Alexander Chevrolet of Altoona.
All About Chevrolet Safety Features
Many of our new and pre-owned vehicles include Chevrolet safety features that are specifically designed to prevent distracted driving accidents. For example, Driver Attention Assist uses a camera and a sensor to ensure that you’re paying close attention to the road, and will alert you if it notices signs of drowsiness or other distractions. Additionally, the Chevy Safety Assist suite includes multiple accident-preventing technologies, such as:
- Following Distance Indicator
- Forward Collision Alert
- Intellibeam® Automatic Headlamps
- Lane Keep Assist
There’s also tech that teaches your young driver good habits and keeps them focused when they’re behind the wheel. The Teen Driver feature lets you set speed limits and control distractions like navigation and entertainment when your teenager is driving. There’s even an in-vehicle report card so you can see how your youngster did after each drive.
Tips to Avoid Becoming Distracted While Driving
Chevrolet safety features certainly help prevent distracted driving accidents, but there are a few things you can do as well. For example, use the voice command feature in your vehicle to make calls and send text messages instead of looking at your phone. You should also avoid snacking in the car and instead keep your full attention on driving.
