Does the Chevy Blazer have adaptive cruise control?
Yes. Adaptive cruise control is available on the Chevy Blazer, but only on mid- to high-level trims with the optional Driver Confidence or Safety Assist packages. The base LS typically does not include ACC.
What adaptive cruise control does in the Blazer
Adaptive cruise control (ACC) automatically maintains a selected driving speed while also keeping a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. In the Blazer, ACC can adjust the speed to hold the chosen gap, braking and accelerating as needed. In many model years, when traffic slows to a stop, ACC can bring the Blazer to a stop and resume automatically when traffic moves again. It works alongside other driver-assistance features such as Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist, and Automatic Emergency Braking, but it is not a substitute for attentive, hands-on driving.
Availability by trim and package
The following trims typically offer adaptive cruise control when equipped with the relevant option package. Availability and exact naming can vary by model year, so confirm with a dealer or check the window sticker for the specific vehicle.
- LT — often available with the Driver Confidence Package or Safety Assist Package (which can include Adaptive Cruise Control)
- RS — commonly offered with the Driver Confidence Package or Safety Assist Package
- Premier — frequently available with the Driver Confidence Package or Safety Assist Package
Packages and names can differ across model years, so it’s important to verify the exact contents of the package on the vehicle you’re considering.
How to activate and use
To enable ACC, use the steering wheel controls or stalk to turn on the feature, then set your desired cruising speed. Use the distance (following distance) selector to choose how closely the Blazer should follow the car ahead. When engaged, the system maintains the set speed and adjusts to traffic flow, including stopping and resuming in many stop-and-go conditions. Always stay attentive, keep hands on the wheel, and be prepared to take over at any time, especially in complex traffic, rain, snow, or low-visibility conditions.
Activation basics
Activate ACC from the cruise control interface, select a cruising speed, and choose a following-distance setting. The system will manage throttle and braking to maintain the gap with the vehicle ahead.
Limitations and safety notes
ACC relies on sensors and cameras and may be limited by weather, road conditions, or ambiguous traffic. It may not detect all vehicles or obstacles, and driver attention remains essential at all times.
Summary
The Chevy Blazer does offer adaptive cruise control, but it’s not standard on the base model. It is available on mid- to high-level trims when equipped with a Driver Confidence or Safety Assist package. If ACC is important to you, check the exact package contents for the year and trim you’re considering, and verify with a dealer before purchase. In practice, ACC can make highway and heavy-traffic driving more comfortable, while still requiring attentive driving.
