GM Standard and Available Safety Features

Manufacturers like GM have focused on stocking your vehicles with reliable safety and driver-assistance features that will give you peace of mind when cruising the road. Vehicles like Buick and GMC have their own unique set of standard and available safety features, so let’s break down the most common features available on Buick and GMC vehicles.

Buick Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Front Pedestrian Braking – This feature will detect a pedestrian directly in front of you and helps you avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with that pedestrian. If a pedestrian is detected, an alert will sound, and then the vehicle will automatically provide a hard emergency brake or enhance the driver’s hard braking.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert – This feature will help detect vehicles approaching from the left or right when you're reversing out of a driveway or parking spot.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning – This feature will detect the lane markings, and if the vehicle begins to detect an unintentional lane change, it will use a brief steering wheel turn to alert you. If you signal that you are making a lane change, the vehicle will not alert you.

Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert – When indicating a lane change, your vehicle scans your blind spot for any approaching vehicles. It alerts you if a vehicle is detected so you can avoid a collision.

Following Distance Indicator – This feature will display the following time in seconds between you and the vehicle ahead of you to help you maintain a safe following distance.

GMC Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Rear Camera Mirror – This feature displays a wide and less obstructed view of what is behind the vehicle. You do have the option to switch between the traditional rearview mirror and the camera view.

Forward Collision Alert – When your vehicle detects a potential front-end collision with a vehicle in front of you, it will alert the driver to take corrective action to avoid a collision.

Front and Rear Park Assist – When you’re parking your vehicle, sensors on the front and rear of the vehicle will alert you if you’re getting too close to an object or another vehicle so you can avoid a collision.

Adaptive Cruise Control – When cruise control is activated, this feature will monitor the vehicles traveling in front of you, and using a driver-selected gap time can help steer the vehicle and keep you from braking and accelerating while you drive.

Automatic Parking Assist – This feature searches the area for a parallel or perpendicular parking space, and while the vehicle steers, you’ll brake, accelerate, and follow directions to shift gears.
