City Motor Company – Chevy Safety Assist in the 2026 Chevrolet Trax — added confidence for Fort Benton, MT drives
Open prairies, two-lane stretches, and changing weather are part of everyday life across north-central Montana, and the 2026 Chevrolet Trax brings standard Chevy Safety Assist to help you feel more at ease on the road. This smart suite works quietly in the background, scanning the environment and providing alerts or gentle steering and braking assistance when you need a hand. It’s peace of mind that fits how we really drive—early-morning commutes, school pickups, and weekend miles on Highway 87—without getting in your way. In the Trax, safety and connectivity go hand in hand, with clean on-screen menus, thoughtful notifications, and clear information that helps you stay focused.
Chevy Safety Assist blends camera and sensor inputs to watch the road ahead, offering timely cues that build confidence. Whether it’s an unexpected slowdown, a pedestrian stepping out between parked cars, or a momentary drift in a crosswind gust, the system aims to assist rather than intrude. And when the sun drops behind the coulees, the Trax adds helpful lighting support so you can see and be seen. These technologies are standard, not reserved for top trims, which means every Trax driver gets advanced confidence from day one.
- Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking: Monitors vehicles ahead and can alert you or apply hard braking in certain situations to help reduce the severity of a front-end collision.
- Front Pedestrian Braking: Detects pedestrians ahead in some conditions and can provide alerts or emergency braking to help mitigate or avoid an impact.
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning: Provides gentle steering support and alerts to help keep you centered if you drift without signaling.
- Following Distance Indicator: Displays your gap to the vehicle ahead to help you maintain a safe cushion on busy stretches.
- IntelliBeam® High Beam Assist: Automatically toggles high beams on dark roads, then dims for oncoming traffic.
Using these features is refreshingly intuitive. A simple tap into the Trax’s available 11-inch center diagonal HD touch-screen lets you fine-tune alert sensitivity and lane support, while the available 8-inch diagonal color Driver Information Center puts key status icons directly in your line of sight. The controls feel familiar after a day or two, and you can always adjust chimes or cues to match your preferences. Just as helpful, the Trax’s ergonomic layout keeps essential buttons within easy reach, so when a surprise happens outside, you’re not hunting around inside.
Connectivity further supports safety. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ organize calls and messages so you can keep your hands on the wheel. Optional wireless charging helps prevent cable clutter, and the available built-in WiFi® hotspot keeps passengers entertained with fewer distractions for the driver. Together, these features help reduce the small hassles that can steal attention, making the drive smoother and more focused.
We also recommend pairing Chevy Safety Assist with practical habits that fit Montana roads—seasonal tire swaps, regular washer fluid checks, and a quick glance at the forecast before you set out. On frosty mornings, give driver aids a minute to see clearly as defrosters do their work. And while the Trax lends a hand, you’re still the pilot: smooth inputs, safe following distances, and steady speed adjustments are always the foundation of confident driving.
City Motor Company, serving Helena, Lewistown, and Fort Benton, can help you get familiar with the Trax’s safety and infotainment settings before you leave the lot. Our product specialists will walk you through each feature, mirror your phone, and customize alert preferences so the system feels personal from day one. It’s a smart, friendly introduction that sets you up for easy daily use and long-term confidence.
