Here at Fred Beans Chevrolet, you'll find an array of safety features in our vehicles. One of the most useful is the blind-spot monitor. This simple driver-assist tool can be found in a wide assortment of newer models. It's a useful feature that can potentially prevent accidents from occurring.
A blind-spot monitor or monitoring system is made up of sensors that are mounted on side mirrors and sometimes the rear bumper. These sensors can detect vehicles in the lanes next to you may not otherwise be able to see. A camera may also be part of a blind-spot monitoring system.
This type of system can signal an alert if you are about to change lanes in the path of another vehicle. Some systems even go one step further to manipulate the brakes and steering in your car in order to prevent a collision.
