2027 Chevrolet Traverse Safety Features and Driver-Assist Technology
Every 2027 Chevrolet Traverse comes with more than 20 standard safety and driver-assistance features, according to Chevrolet. The foundation is Chevy Safety Assist, a bundle of six collision-avoidance features. Chevrolet adds Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control and the Safety Alert Seat on every trim. Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is standard on the RS and High Country. New for 2027, an interior camera with Cabin Glance shows the second and third rows on the center screen, as detailed in GM’s 2027 Traverse announcement.
Driver-assist and safety systems are supplemental aids and are not a substitute for safe, attentive driving. Their effectiveness depends on weather, road, and traffic conditions and other factors. Always obey traffic laws and stay attentive to the road. See your owner’s manual for system details and limitations.

Side Bicyclist Alert
Rear Park Assist
Safety Alert Seat

Always obey traffic laws and stay attentive to the road. See your owner’s manual for system details and limitations.
How Does the Safety Alert Seat Work?
The Safety Alert Seat uses small motors in the driver seat cushion. They pulse the left side, the right side or both sides to show the direction of a potential crash. When you’re in reverse and Rear Cross Traffic Braking detects a car approaching from the left, the left side of the seat pulses. If you prefer audible alerts, you can switch to beeps in the Alert Type menu.

Always obey traffic laws and stay attentive to the road. See your owner’s manual for system details and limitations.
Camera and Visibility Technology
HD Surround Vision gives an overhead view of the area around the Traverse on the 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen, which helps in tight parking stalls. The Rear Camera Mirror switches the rearview mirror to a camera view. The interior camera’s Cabin Glance feature gives a live view of the second and third rows on the center screen, so you can check on kids or pets without turning around.
The 2027 Traverse can also be equipped with Surround Vision Recorder, which captures and saves video from the vehicle’s cameras. Security Recording can start recording automatically when the alarm is triggered. Both require a USB drive (GM).
