Active safety features with Chevrolet's Chevy Safety Assist greatly enhance occupant safety by reducing the likelihood of a crash. All trims and versions of the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse include the following active safety systems: Forward Collision Alert (FCA), Automatic Emergency Braking with Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Blind Spot Monitoring.

A safety feature that may make a vehicle safer, even if not at the forefront of technological advances, should still be considered. Side mirror turn signals are optional on the Chevrolet Traverse. They alert other vehicles of your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other vehicle's driver to prevent an impending accident with you.
