Safety and Driver Assistance

Every 2026 Trax is equipped with automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, StabiliTrak stability control with traction control, forward collision alert, following distance indicator, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, buckle-to-Drive technology, rear seat reminder, and an HD rearview camera. Also included is GM’s Teen Driver technology, which activates safety systems when the designated Teen key fob is in use, mutes the audio until the driver and front passenger have fastened their seatbelts, and encourages safe driving habits by providing feedback via a “report card” that parents can review with their young drivers to encourage good habits. The Driver Confidence Package adds rear park assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane change alert with side blind-zone alert to all Trax trims; the LT, 2RS, and Activ also get adaptive cruise control within this optional bundle.

The Trax’s base infotainment suite comes with an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity for two devices, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a four-speaker audio system with active noise cancellation. The LT and higher trims upgrade to an 11-inch touchscreen with voice command and a six-speaker sound system. Access to OnStar, GM’s safety and connectivity suite, is available on every Trax trim, and OnStar Basics comes standard, providing remote commands, built-in voice assistance, real-time traffic and navigation, and automatic crash response.
