The Silverado 1500 comes with Chevrolet Safety Assist across all trim levels, creating a foundation of protection for drivers and passengers alike. This comprehensive package includes six advanced safety features that work together to help prevent collisions and mitigate their severity when unavoidable.

Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking

This system monitors the road ahead and can detect potential front-end collisions with vehicles you’re following. When a collision appears imminent, the system alerts you and can automatically apply the brakes to reduce impact severity or avoid the collision entirely.

Front Pedestrian Braking

When travelling through populated areas, this feature monitors the path ahead for pedestrians. It can alert you when a pedestrian appears directly in your path and can automatically apply emergency braking if necessary to help avoid or reduce the severity of a collision.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

This technology monitors lane markings and alerts you with a gentle steering wheel turn when you unintentionally drift from your lane. The system helps guide you back to safety, reducing the risk of side-swipe accidents and roadway departures.

Following Distance Indicator

Maintaining proper spacing between vehicles is critical for safe driving. This feature displays the following gap time in seconds between your Silverado 1500 and the vehicle ahead, helping you determine if you’re following at a safe distance.

IntelliBeam Auto High Beams

Enhanced visibility during nighttime driving comes standard with the Silverado IntelliBeam technology. This system automatically switches between high and low beams when it detects oncoming traffic, providing maximum illumination of the road ahead without blinding other drivers.

Advanced Camera Systems: Complete Visibility

The Silverado 1500 offers one of the most comprehensive camera systems available in any pickup truck, providing remarkable visibility for various driving scenarios.

8 Cameras with 14 Unique Views

Available on LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, High Country, and ZR2 trims, this advanced camera system offers up to 14 different perspectives around your vehicle. These views prove invaluable in various situations:

• Hitch View: Provides a close-up view of the hitch for precise trailer connection without a spotter
• Bed View: Monitors cargo and fifth-wheel hitches
• Front Camera View: Shows obstacles directly in front of the vehicle
• Rear Camera View: Enhanced visibility behind the truck
• Bowl View: A composite overhead perspective of the vehicle and immediate surroundings
• Front Top-Down View: Helps navigate tight spaces by showing the front corners
• Rear Top-Down View: Assists with precise parking maneuvers
• Transparent Trailer View: This remarkable feature combines camera angles to create a “see-through” effect, allowing drivers to see directly behind their trailer

Trailer Technology Integration

The camera system integrates seamlessly with the Silverado trailer technology package:

• Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert: Extends blind spot monitoring to cover the entire length of your trailer, showing visual side-mirror alerts when vehicles enter this expanded blind zone
• Trailer Length Indicator: Improves awareness when changing lanes by indicating the space your truck and trailer require
• Trailer Brake Controller Integration: Provides smoother stops and enhanced stability when towing

Advanced Driver Assistance Features

Beyond the standard Chevrolet Safety Assist package, the Silverado offers numerous technologies to enhance safety further.

Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking

An upgrade from the standard system, this version provides more sophisticated collision avoidance capabilities with enhanced detection algorithms and braking force.

Front and Rear Park Assist

Ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers detect obstacles during low-speed parking maneuvers, providing distance alerts to help avoid collisions.

HD Surround Vision

This system provides a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle’s surroundings, making it easier to navigate tight spaces and avoid obstacles that might otherwise be difficult to see.

Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert

This technology monitors the blind spots alongside your Silverado and provides visual alerts in the side mirrors when vehicles are detected, reducing the risk of side-swipe collisions during lane changes.

Rear Cross Traffic Braking

When backing out of parking spaces or driveways, this system detects approaching cross traffic and can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid a collision.

Rear Pedestrian Alert

This technology helps detect pedestrians behind your vehicle when reversing, providing alerts to help prevent backing accidents.

Super Cruise: Hands-Free Driving Innovation

Super Cruise is available exclusively on the High Country trim, which represents the pinnacle of Silverado safety technology. This MotorTrend award-winning hands-free driving system offers capabilities no competitor can match.

Hands-Free Driving with Trailering

Super Cruise allows hands-free driving on more than 200,000 kilometres of compatible highways across North America—even while towing. No other competitor offers a hands-free driving system with trailering capability.

How Super Cruise Works

1. The system activates when the white Super Cruise icon appears on the instrument cluster
2. When the Super Cruise symbol and steering wheel indicator turn green, hands-free driving is enabled
3. The system uses a combination of advanced technologies:
   • High-definition maps
   • Real-time positioning
   • Driver attention monitoring
   • Adaptive cruise control
   • Lane-centering technology

Enhanced Safety and Comfort

Super Cruise automatically adjusts the gap between your Silverado 1500 and vehicles ahead, providing extra stopping distance when needed. This reduces driver fatigue on long journeys while maintaining a high level of safety.

Attention Monitoring

While Super Cruise enables hands-free driving, it continuously monitors driver attention using a camera mounted on the steering column. If the system detects the driver isn’t paying attention to the road, it provides escalating alerts to ensure the driver remains engaged.

Passive Safety Systems

Beyond its active safety technologies, the Silverado 1500 incorporates robust passive safety features designed to protect occupants in the event of a collision.

Comprehensive Airbag System

The Silverado features multiple airbags strategically positioned throughout the cabin, including:

• Dual-stage frontal airbags
• Seat-mounted side-impact airbags
• Roof-rail mounted head-curtain airbags

High-Strength Steel Frame

The foundation of the Silverado safety is its robust high-strength steel safety cage. This advanced structure helps maintain cabin integrity during collisions by absorbing and redirecting impact forces away from occupants.

Rear Seat Reminder

This thoughtful feature reminds drivers to check the back seat before exiting the vehicle, helping prevent children or pets from being accidentally left inside.

StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control

This system helps you maintain control during emergency maneuvers, particularly on slippery surfaces. It can apply individual brakes and modulate engine power to help keep the vehicle on its intended path.

Teen Driver Technology

This innovative feature allows parents to set specific parameters for young drivers and provides a report card on their driving habits, encouraging safe practices.
