The 2025 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD is a tough, rugged pickup that can carry and tow huge loads. It also includes a range of advanced driver-assist safety features to protect you on the road. We’re going to dive in and see how some of these systems keep you safe.
Front Pedestrian Braking
When you’re driving in the city, distracted or rushed pedestrians can sometimes step into your path without realizing it. This can happen with very little warning. If you’re driving in the suburbs or in a rural area, animals can also unintentionally move in front of you. Front Pedestrian Braking protects you, pedestrians, and animals from accidents by alerting you to the danger.
The system uses a forward-facing camera that scans the road ahead for pedestrians or animals. If something is detected, a yellow box will appear around the object on your screen to alert you. The yellow box turns red, and you’ll hear warning beeps or feel seat pulses if a collision is possible. If you don’t hit the brakes, the system automatically applies hard braking to stop your Chevy and prevent an accident.
Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking
This system uses radar and a camera to identify any vehicle in front of you. If a vehicle is detected, a green icon will appear on your screen. The system radar measures the distance between your Chevy and the other vehicle and compares this to your speed to determine if you’re too close. If you are, the green icon will turn yellow to warn you that you’re tailgating.
If the system determines you’re moving too fast and an accident is possible, a red flashing icon will appear, and you’ll receive seat pulses or hear beeping, depending on your alert choice. If you’re unable to brake in time, Automatic Emergency Braking proactively brings your Chevy to an almost instant stop to prevent a collision.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
This safety feature is standard or available depending on your trim, and it helps protect you from accidents when you change lanes. Side Blind Zone Alert uses radar sensors in the rear corners of your Chevy to detect any vehicle that enters a blind zone. When something is detected, a yellow icon will appear in the corresponding side mirror.
If you’re actively changing lanes when a vehicle enters a blind spot, Lane Change Alert provides a flashing yellow icon in the corresponding side mirror, and you’ll hear warning beeps or feel seat pulses. The steering wheel will also gently pull you back toward your original lane to prevent an accident.
