1. IntelliBeam
InteliBeam is an assistive feature that controls your high beams, automatically dimming them when it detects an oncoming vehicle. Once the vehicle passes, IntelliBeam turns your high beams back on to illuminate your path. This function only works at speeds above 25 mph.
2. Solar-Absorbing Glass
The Silverado’s windshield and windows are made with solar-absorbing glass, which helps maintain a cooler temperature inside your truck. This glass minimizes the effects of the sun’s rays, protecting your skin from damage and any leather interior elements from fading.
3. Buckle to Drive
Buckle to Drive is a safety feature that prevents you from moving your vehicle when your seatbelt is not buckled. Buckle to Drive reminds the driver to buckle up by blocking them from shifting the truck out of PARK until their seat belt is fastened.
4. Forward Collision Alert
Forward Collision Alert is an assistive driving function that warns you when it detects a possible collision between your vehicle and the one in front of you. This feature issues an audio and visual alert for you to hit the brakes before impact. If you don’t hit the brakes in time, it activates Automatic Emergency Braking to prevent an accident.
5. Following Distance Indicator
Following Distance Indicator is another assistive driving function in the new Silverado 1500. This feature helps you maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you by displaying the following time in seconds between your two vehicles.
6. Teen Driver
If you have a teen who’s learning the rules of the road, you’ll appreciate the Silverado’s Teen Driver feature. Teen Driver monitors your teen’s driving habits and gives you a detailed report of their driving behaviors. It also activates extra safety features when in use, such as Buckle to Drive.
7. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning helps keep your truck in its intended lane by using a gentle steering wheel turn when it senses your vehicle drifting to either side. If you use your turning signal to indicate an intended lane transition, this feature does not kick in.
8. Hitch Guidance
Available Hitch Guidance lets you tow with more precision by giving you a detailed view of your hitch and trailer. Hitch Guidance provides visible guidelines for lining up your trailer and hitch, streamlining the towing process.
