Latest Vehicle Safety Features;

There are several great vehicle models that are safe that can be found at a St. Petersburg Chevy Dealer. Models like the Chevy Camaro and the Chevy Malibu ranked highly in safety tests. There are several new vehicle models that have come out over the past 10 years that feature next-generation safety features. Vehicles like the BMW 5-Series and Audi models which can be purchased at a discount during VW Specials have the latest in airbag and collision prevention technology. Although these luxury models have the latest technology features, there are also several less expensive Honda models like the Accord sold at Savannah Honda which are safe as well.

Side impact airbags are now standard on models, but there are some airbags that now offer adjustments based on the passengers height, weight, and position. Ask your vehicle dealer about these features. Stability control systems tell the direction that a driver is going and are used on SUV models, along with Rollover Prevention which also keeps SUVs from rolling over when they are going to fast on corners. The system prevents rollover by braking to reduce speed.

Another important safety feature is backup cameras and sensors for large vehicles. Many people and children are hurt each year in vehicle backing accidents, and the addition of these sensors help to prevent these types of accidents. The best thing to have is a rear view camera which shows the blind spot of the vehicle so you can be sure there is nothing in your path. These cameras offer the added bonus of being helpful for parking.

Lane changes without checking blind spots are a major cause for accidents. There are blind spot detection and lane departure warning systems that will alert drivers when they veer too far out of their lanes if they do not have their signals on. This will also help drivers in the case that they fall asleep at the wheel and veer off the road.
