Does the Chevy Blazer have blind spot monitoring?
Yes. The Chevy Blazer offers blind spot monitoring, typically marketed as Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, on most newer models. Availability depends on the model year and trim level.
In practice, this safety feature uses sensors in the rear corners to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes and provides warnings to help prevent lane-change mishaps. It is commonly bundled with Chevrolet Safety Assist or other driver-assistance packages and is more commonly included on mid-to-high trim levels.
What blind spot monitoring looks like on the Blazer
Blind spot monitoring in the Blazer is usually implemented as Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert. When a vehicle enters your blind spot or a fast-approaching vehicle is detected in an adjacent lane, you’ll typically see a visual indicator in the corresponding side mirror and may hear an audible alert if you signal to change lanes. Some model years also pair this with Rear Cross Traffic Alert for added awareness when backing out of a space.
Availability by trim and model year
Below is a general guide for recent Blazer models. Exact availability can vary by year and your vehicle’s option package, so always verify with the dealer or a build sheet for a specific car.
- LT: Often includes Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert as part of the standard or widely available Safety/Driver Confidence packages on modern years.
- RS: Typically includes Blind Spot Monitoring as part of its standard safety suite or optional packages across recent years.
- Premier: Usually has Blind Spot Monitoring (Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert) as standard or readily included in safety packages.
- Base L/LS: May require the Safety Assist or related option packages; not always standard on the most basic configurations.
Concluding note: If blind spot monitoring is a priority, look for a Blazer with the Safety Assist/Driver Confidence package or higher trims, and confirm the feature on the exact vehicle you’re considering.
Model-year notes
For models from around 2020 to 2024, Chevrolet increasingly grouped blind spot monitoring into the Safety/Assist family of features. As a result, LT, RS, and Premier trims more reliably include Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, while LS/L trims may require an optional package or higher trim upgrade. Always check the window sticker or the vehicle’s feature list to confirm.
How to verify on a specific Blazer
To confirm on a used or new Blazer, check these sources: the Monroney (window) sticker for “Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert” or “Chevrolet Safety Assist,” the Build & Price tool on Chevrolet’s official site, or ask the dealer to pull up the VIN’s safety features. You can also test it in person by turning on the indicators and observing whether mirror indicators or warning chimes appear when another vehicle is in the adjacent lane.
Summary
Blind spot monitoring is a common feature on the Chevy Blazer, marketed as Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert. It is typically standard or readily available on LT, RS, and Premier trims, with base models sometimes requiring optional packages. If this feature is important, verify its presence on the exact vehicle year and trim you’re considering to avoid surprises.
