At LeadCar Chevrolet Yorkville, we want Yorkville, NY motorists to experience a safe drive when they're behind the wheel. A blind-spot monitor is a driver-assist feature in some of the vehicles in our inventory that boosts safety. Read on to find out more about a blind-spot monitor.
Blind-spot monitors are designed to alert drivers when a vehicle is moving into its blind spots. The alerts may be visual or audible. Some blind-spot monitors issue visual warnings on the side-view mirrors, and there are some that alert you with a series of audible chimes or beeps.
A blind-spot monitor is one of the most sought out driver-assist features because it helps prevent side collisions when you're changing lanes. Some blind-spot monitors are paired with other driver-assist features, which may include rear cross-traffic alert. Although a blind-spot monitor is usually only standard in some higher trim models, it can be offered as an available feature in base trims.
