Safety
The safety features included in the new Chevy Colorado are:
- Forward-collision warning
- Lane-departure warning
- Rear parking sensors
The forward-collision warning feature utilizes sensors on the front of the Colorado to identify any objects that may be in front of your vehicle. If the sensors pick up an object, then a signal is sent to the internal computer of the Colorado. This signal is processed and alerts you of potential objects in front of your vehicle.
The lane-departure warning uses sensors on the side of the Colorado, and these sensors can determine the width of the current lane you are in. If you start to drift out of the lane, a signal will be sent to the internal computer, and the computer will send an alert to let you know that you are starting to leave your lane.
The rear parking sensors help identify any objects that may be directly behind your vehicle. The sensors will alert you of any objects by way of the internal computer, and this can come in handy when backing out of parking spaces.

The technology features in the Colorado include a seven-inch touchscreen in the base model with an 8-in. option in other trims. Also, there is a Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth audio streaming.
