• Forward collision alert is a camera technology, which detects a possible crash threat and alerts the driver, giving him or her time to stop and/or change course;
• Lane departure warning is again camera-based lane detection system that warns the driver of impending lane changes.
• Side blind zone alert is using radar sensors on both sides of the vehicle, and "looks" for other vehicles in the blind zone areas of the Impala and indicates their presence with LED-lit symbols in the outside mirrors.
• Rear cross traffic alert, which is based on the radar sensors of side blind zone alert, and warns the driver of vehicles in traffic when backing out of a parking spot – including angled parking.
