At Art Gamblin Motors we understand that safety is a concern in any vehicle purchase. This is one of the many reasons why we are proud to offer the 2012 Chevrolet Silverado HD—because we know that the Silverado will meet and exceed your safety expectations. Chevrolets theory on safety involves a three pronged approach, offering safety protection before, during and after a collision. The Silverado HD offers excellent protection in all three of these vital areas. 
 Before: Of course the best way to remain safe while driving is to avoid a collision in the first place. Where other auto manufactures simply point out this obvious fact; Chevrolet actively enhances its vehicles including the Silverado HD with many active safety features that are proven to really help you avoid a collision. To begin, all Chevy Silverado HD models include standard antilock braking, which prevents wheel lockup during braking. All single rear wheel models of the Silverado HD include standard StabiliTrak stability control systems. StabiliTrak uses high tech sensors to compare the drivers steering with the trucks actual course. If the Silverado doesn’t follow what the drivers intended course Silverado’s braking and traction control systems are automatically engaged to correct the course of the truck.The Silverado HD’s Trailer Sway Control System detects if the trucks trailer is swaying and immediately engages the truck’s brakes to correct both the truck and the trailer. Hill Start Assist is another feature of the Silverado HD. Hill Start Assist detects if the truck is on a steep grade. If it is, then the system keeps the truck’s brakes engaged for a few seconds or until the gas pedal is pressed. This prevents any potential rollback. The intelligent brake assist system is also used in the Silverado HD. This system detects emergency panic braking situations and automatically applies the truck’s full braking capability, even if the driver fails to engage the brakes fully by themselves.
Features such as roof marker lamps—standard on the Silverado HD 3500 dual wheel drive—the Silverado HD’s standard halogen headlamps and automatic daytime running lamps all work together to make the Silverado HD more visible; thus preventing possible collisions from other vehicles. Automatic lighting control and fog lamps are also available on the Silverado HD, making the truck even more visible while also increasing the driver’s visibility. The Silverado’s flat blade front windshield wipers with pulse washers help maintain clear driving visibility as well. Silverados are also equipped with interior rearview mirrors with manual day/night settings, auto dimming and available rearview camera systems. These effective mirrors greatly aid driver visibility.The Silverado’s Tire Pressure Information System monitors the tire pressure of each tire on the truck. If a tire is low on pressure a message is sent to the driver information system in the truck. This can help prevent safety issues related to low tire pressure. The Tire Pressure Information System is standard on all Silverado HD 2500 models.
