As you envision the vehicle of your dreams, you may picture a luxurious interior or a powerful engine. Thanks to advanced technology, modern vehicles are also equipped with comprehensive safety features that help prevent collisions and make sure you’re aware of pedestrians and other vehicles on the road. Learn more about the safety features that GMC provides.
Camera Views
While you’re behind the wheel of your GMC vehicle, consult the camera technology to observe your surroundings before you pull out of your driveway. The rear view camera mirror offers a clearer perspective of what’s behind you while you’re on the highway.
Once you arrive at your destination, you can activate HD Surround Vision, which shows you live footage of the area around your vehicle, helping you park and knowing when it’s safe to exit safely. For heavy-duty GMC vehicles, such as this GMC Sierra 1500 for sale, the Hitch Guidance camera can direct you as you reverse the pickup truck to align with the hitch of your trailer.
Accident Prevention
The GMC Pro Safety features also help you avoid collisions. On the highway or interstate, the lane keep assist with lane departure warning will notify you when the wheels of your vehicle drift out of the lane, allowing you to steer back in the center. When other drivers cross and pass you from behind, you will hear a beep from the rear cross traffic alert, so you know when it’s clear to switch lanes.
The side blind zone alert monitors what you can’t see in your rearview mirrors, and the blind zone steering assist will take control of the wheel to avoid colliding with a car driving alongside of you. As you approach a car in front of you, the forward collision alert chimes to remind you to apply your brakes or put some distance between your vehicle and other motorists.
Driving Assistance
Driver-assisted technology not only protects you and your passengers, but it also makes driving more convenient. Consider activating the adaptive cruise control, which is a part of the GMC Super Cruise package, to give your foot a break and enable you to maintain a safe speed and following distance.
Parking
It’s not always easy to maneuver into a parking space, especially when you’re driving a large vehicle, such as an SUV or a pickup truck. Safety features that assist you in parking contribute to the GMC Acadia safety rating. Take automatic parking assist, for example, which steers on your behalf while you brake so your vehicle can parallel park with ease. When it’s time to leave, you can rely on the rear park assist function, which notifies you of objects or incoming traffic as you reverse out of a parking space.
Emergency Braking
With a GMC vehicle, you may feel your brakes activate automatically to prevent a collision when you’re traveling at 50 mph or slower. The automatic emergency braking stops your vehicle to minimize the impact or prevent a collision of a car in front of you. As you approach a traffic light with crosswalks during the day, the front pedestrian braking will make sure you’re mindful of people walking in front of your vehicle, and the front pedestrian and biking braking bicyclists traveling near your ride.
