Here at Chevrolet Chicago, we’re following on from the last post Chevrolet Chicago Corvette Club, where we looked at the local Chevrolet Chicago Corvette Club, we’ll take a look at some of the safety features that are being incorporating into automobiles built by Chevrolet. Chicago locals will find this interesting.
When it comes to Chevrolet Chicago motoring, your family’s safety matters more than anything. Whether you’re just driving on a short errand around town or you’re off on a cross-country road trip, you’ll be glad to know that totally committed to safety is Chevrolet. Chicago locals know that means keeping you and your family safe from the beginning of your journey right the way to your destination.
Most Chevrolet Chicago owners’ vehicles that are built today come with comprehensive safety and security features designed to help protect you and your family in most models produced by Chevrolet. Chicago drivers can rest easy.
Well, what does that all mean?
Well, before you even get into your Chevrolet, Chicago dwellers have the assurance that safety is well catered for with a host of features such as:
ABS: The Anti-Lock Braking system helps you to maintain steering control by reducing the effect of wheel lockup during hard braking on most slippery surfaces.
Traction Control: This highly important safety feature helps to reduce wheel spin under acceleration on surfaces that are slippery. Most traction control systems combine the ABS speed sensors with brakes along with a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to help your vehicle’s tyres maintain traction on the road.
DRLs: Daytime Running Lamps are basically reduced-intensity lights on the front of vehicles designed to automatically illuminate when the vehicle is started. They’re function is to make the vehicle easier to see by other drivers and also pedestrians, in a variety of daytime conditions you may encounter whilst driving, such as fog, mist, rain and bright sunlight. For Chevrolet Chicago drivers, they have to deal with pretty much all of those conditions and more.
Why have DRLs? Well, they help reduce crashes and injuries, thereby saving lives. DRLs are most effective in preventing collisions when a vehicle is pulling out in front of another vehicle, changing lanes on multi-lane roads or passing other vehicles on two-lane rural roads.
DIC: The Driver Information Center keeps the driver informed of key vehicle functions while you’re on the road. Depending on which vehicle you are driving, the DIC displays various information including door ajar, trunk open, change oil, hot coolant temperature, low oil pressure, low fuel, low washer fluid etc.
StabiliTrak: The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study estimated that the addition of electronic stability control systems to every vehicle could mean as many as 10,000 fatal crashes are avoided in the U.S. annually.
The StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System fitted to many Chevrolet Chicago models helps you stay the course by detecting the difference between the steering wheel angle and the direction the vehicle is actually turning. StabiliTrak analyzes information such as steering wheel position, amount of sideways force in play, speed of the vehicle and vehicle’s response to steering wheel position. The system then uses the brakes and, if necessary, adjusts the engine torque to help you keep your vehicle on track.
So for Chevrolet Chicago drivers, there’s a whole heap of safety features incorporated into your Chevrolet Chicago vehicle. We’ll look at more safety features in a later article here at the Chevrolet Chicago information site.

The next Chevrolet Chicago Corvette Club meeting is on Wednesday 20th February at 8:00 PM at the Oakfield Family Restaurant. You’ll find that in the shopping center by the corner of Geneva Rd. and County Farm.

According to their official website, the Chevrolet Chicago Corvette Club will be discussing the events for the coming year and the all important election of officers.
There will be plenty to do and it will be a great way to come and meet the members and get to know more about the Chevrolet Chicago based club, in case you might be thinking of becoming a member yourself.
If you are interested, the Chevrolet Chicago Corvette Club is based in the Western suburbs. Their events can take them pretty much anywhere and they meet every third Wednesday in the month at 8:00 PM. You can get more details from their website at Chevrolet Chicago Corvette Club.

Following on from the last post at Chevrolet Chicago entitled: Chevrolet Fuel Economy, where we put the Chevrolet Automobile Company under the fuel efficiency microscope, we thought it would be a nice gesture to feature the Illinois Camero Club in this installment.
Well, the Illinios Camero Club came into existence in August 1987 and their first meeting was conceived by founder member Paul Weinert. The club celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2007 and it’s going from strength to strength!
The club meets on several night of the week at various locations so there’s always something going on for members to be involved in. You can get full details directly from their website about meetings and events as well as membership information, news, pictures and a whole lot more. We’ve included a link to their website at the bottom of this post.
There is also an official monthly publication of the Illinois Camaro Club, called The Insider’s Camaro Connection. A subscription to every edition is included with each membership and it is written by the members for the members. Many members submit articles and information of interest to fellow club members and all members are encouraged to contribute if they can.
