How the 2018 Chevy Equinox Makes Driving Safer

MT. PLEASANT, Mich., – Whether you're driving alone or with a group, safety is the priority of every vehicle owner. While it is impossible to predict the behavior of other drivers, the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox's cutting-edge safety features improve the safety of the driver, its passengers, and any other drivers on the road. Learn about how the 2018 Chevy Equinox makes driving safer with its wide variety of features and improved safety-first design.

Forward Collision Alert with Following Distance Indicator

Forward Collision Alert provides notifications to the driver through sound alerts and a display on their center dashboard if a collision with a vehicle or object in front of the Equinox is imminent. The Forward Collision Alert then applies the brakes to either reduce damage to the vehicle or can ultimately prevent an accident from occurring. Forward Collision Alert comes with a Following Distance Indicator, which provides notifications to drivers if they are tailgating or driving too close to a fellow driver on the road. If you are driving a 2018 Equinox, this advanced feature benefits not only you, but the surrounding drivers as well.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning: 

Lane Keep Assist technology helps to keep drivers in their lane. If a driver unintentionally drifts into another lane, the center display will illuminate, alerting drivers with a warning and an emergency sound. If the driver continues to drift, the Lane Departure Warning technology will kick in, gently nudging the steering wheel to keep drivers in their appropriate lane to reduce the chances of an accident.

Side Blind Zone Alert

Side Blind Zone Alert provides foresight to drivers that are traveling on streets or highways with multiple lanes. It notifies and alerts drivers when vehicles are in their blind spots to keep them alert if they plan on merging into other lanes. Using short radar sensors, Side Blind Zone Alert improves the safety of drivers in the Equinox and other surrounding vehicles as well.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert: 

Whether you're backing out of your driveway or a parking spot, Rear Cross Traffic Alert works with the standard Rear-End Camera to alert drivers of incoming traffic or hazards as they back out of their parking spots. The center display will notify the driver with sound and visual alerts, using radar technology to detect nearby hazards.

Surround Vision

One of the newest features available to owners of the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox is the addition of Surround Vision technology. Using radar technology and four cameras installed in the front, back, and both sides of the vehicle, drivers are given a 360-degree view of the Equinox's exterior. Surround Vision is utilized when drivers put their 2018 Equinox into reverse, assisting drivers with pulling out in order to avoid hazards on every angle of the Equinox. When drivers shift their vehicle into Drive, Surround Vision displays a frontal view of the Equinox for a short time to display any hazards that the driver may not initially notice.
