GM’s Commitment to Safety: Confidence Behind the Wheel
Driving should be an enjoyable experience, but safety always comes first. Whether you’re navigating busy city streets, highways, or rural roads, General Motors (GM) has equipped its latest models with cutting-edge safety technology to help protect you and your passengers.
At Seaway GM in Cornwall, Ontario, we know how important it is to drive with confidence. That’s why our lineup of Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac vehicles comes with Chevy Safety Assist, an advanced suite of driver assistance technologies that work proactively to prevent accidents.
From crash avoidance alerts to active safety systems like Rear Park Assist and Forward Collision Alert, GM's innovative safety features are designed to help detect potential crashes and road hazards before they happen.
Here’s how GM’s standard safety features help keep you safe, whether you're commuting in Cornwall or driving through Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry.
Chevy Safety Assist: Your Safety Co-Pilot
Many of GM’s newest models come standard with Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of driver assistance technologies that help reduce the risk of collisions and improve overall road awareness.
What’s Included in Chevy Safety Assist?
✔ Forward Collision Alert & Automatic Emergency Braking – Helps detect a potential front-end collision and applies the brakes if needed.
✔ Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning – Alerts the driver and gently steers the vehicle back into its lane if unintentional drifting is detected.
✔ Front Pedestrian Braking – Helps prevent pedestrian-related accidents by applying the brakes when needed.
✔ Following Distance Indicator – Monitors your distance from the vehicle ahead and provides distance alerts to help prevent rear-end collisions.
✔ IntelliBeam® Auto High Beam Assist – Automatically adjusts high beams based on road conditions and surrounding traffic.
These standard safety features make GM vehicles some of the safest on the road, offering added confidence for every drive.
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert & Rear Park Assist: Safer Parking & Reversing
Backing out of a parking space or driveway can be challenging—especially in crowded areas. GM vehicles help make reversing safer with:
✔ Rear Cross-Traffic Alert – Uses radar sensors to detect approaching vehicles from the left or right when you're in reverse. If another vehicle is in your path, you’ll receive crash avoidance alerts to prevent a collision.
✔ Rear Park Assist – Helps guide you into tight parking spots by providing distance alerts and detecting objects behind your vehicle.
Whether you’re in a busy shopping plaza in Cornwall or navigating tight urban parking, these innovative safety features make maneuvering effortless.
Lane Keep Assist & Lane Departure Warning: Stay on Track
Drifting out of your lane without signaling? GM’s Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning ensures you stay in control.
✔ Alerts the driver if they unintentionally drift out of their lane
✔ Applies gentle steering input to guide the vehicle back on track
✔ Works on highways and city roads to enhance feature performance
This active safety system is especially helpful for long drives on Highway 401 or nighttime driving when fatigue might set in.
Adaptive Cruise Control & Distance Alerts: Smarter Highway Driving
Long drives just got more comfortable and stress-free thanks to Adaptive Cruise Control.
✔ Automatically adjusts your speed based on the flow of traffic
✔ Maintains a safe following distance with distance alerts
✔ Reduces the need for constant braking and accelerating
For drivers in Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry, this feature is perfect for highway driving, ensuring a smoother and safer experience.
Side Blind Zone Alert & Crash Avoidance Alerts: Added Awareness
Changing lanes just got safer with Side Blind Zone Alert, which helps prevent potential crashes caused by blind spots.
✔ Alerts the driver when a vehicle is detected in their blind spot
✔ Provides visual and audible warnings before switching lanes
✔ Works in combination with crash avoidance alerts to enhance safety
Whether you’re navigating through busy Cornwall streets or merging onto the highway, GM’s safety technology has your back.
Rear Camera Mirror & HD Surround Vision: Enhanced Visibility
Blind spots can be a challenge, but GM’s Rear Camera Mirror and HD Surround Vision provide a full, unobstructed digital view of what’s behind and around your vehicle.
✔ Uses multiple cameras to create a 360-degree bird’s-eye view
✔ Displays real-time visuals on your infotainment screen
✔ Helps avoid obstacles and improves parking accuracy
This feature ensures a clearer, safer driving experience, especially in low-visibility conditions.
Customizable Safety Options Across Trim Levels
GM vehicles offer a variety of trim levels, allowing you to choose the safety features that best suit your needs. While Chevy Safety Assist comes standard on many models, higher trims often include additional safety enhancements like:
✔ Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking – Works at higher speeds for added collision prevention.
✔ Traffic Sign Recognition – Displays speed limits and other important signs on your dashboard.
✔ Teen Driver Technology – Encourages safer driving habits for new drivers by allowing parents to monitor performance.
