2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Safety Features
The Chevy Silverado 1500 is one of America’s favorite large, light-duty pickup trucks. There are many reasons to check out the 2024 model year at Herrin-Gear Chevrolet in Jackson, MS. From GM’s suite of tech features to its impressive towing capabilities, the Silverado 1500 has a lot to offer. It’s also built to be a very safe vehicle, whether you’re driving in the city, on the highway, or in the middle of nowhere for an off-road adventure.
Let’s explore the great safety features that the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has to offer.
GM’s Super Cruise™
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado is equipped with GM’s Super Cruise™ hands-free technology. Once this system is engaged, a green indicator light along the top of the steering wheel lights up. That means it’s now safe for you to take your hands off the steering wheel. The truck’s Super Cruise will handle braking, acceleration, and steering for you. GM has mapped hundreds of thousands of miles of highways across the US and Canada where Super Cruise works. It even works when you’re towing a trailer, which makes this one of the most advanced hands-free systems on the market.
Chevy Safety Assist
Chevy Safety Assist is a suite of advanced driver and safety assistance features that come standard across all nine trim versions of the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The system starts with an automatic front collision alert, which applies the emergency brakes when the truck is traveling less than 50 miles per hour. The system can also detect pedestrians and automatically apply the brakes. Four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes are standard on every 1500.
A following distance indicator lets you know when you’re getting too close to a vehicle in front of you. IntelliBeam turns the truck’s high beams On or Off depending on nearby traffic conditions. Chevy Safety Assist also helps you stay in your lane and issues a warning if you start to stray into another lane.
Chevy’s Teen Driver technology is a nice feature for parents who have a young driver in the family. A Teen Driver key fob activates various safety features that are designed to help teach safe and responsible driving habits. The system will also monitor a teen driver’s habits behind the wheel for additional accountability as they become more experienced.
Additional features include Chevy’s StabiliTrak®. This is a stability control system that also helps the vehicle maintain traction in certain unsafe road conditions. A tire pressure monitoring system and rear vision camera are also standard on every 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500.
Advanced Trailering in the 2024 Silverado 1500
Many people love the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 because of its impressive 13,300-pound towing capacity. The truck has many additional safety features that are specifically designed to aid the driver for a long day of towing.
The Silverado 1500 can be equipped with up to eight cameras that provide 14 different views around the truck and a trailer. The camera views are easily accessed on the 13.4-inch infotainment touchscreen in the center of the dashboard. The cameras are a huge help when it comes to hitching up a trailer, parking, and driving. Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert activates a side mirror camera that lets you know anytime another vehicle edges into those big blind spots on either side of a trailer.
The Chevy Trailering App allows you to set up a custom trailer profile to help monitor a trailer while you’re on the road. Everything in the Trailering App is controlled through the dashboard touchscreen.
And did we mention that the Super Cruise™ hands-free driving system works with a trailer attached?
