This feature kicks in when a sensor detects an imminent crash and automatically applies the brakes to help reduce the severity of the accident. This system is designed to work even if the driver doesn't have time to react. Tire Pressure Monitoring System An often overlooked but essential safety feature is a tire pressure monitoring system. This system helps you keep tabs on your tire pressure, so you always know when it's time for a new tire or tire inflation. Keeping your tires properly inflated is crucial for maintaining control of your vehicle and reducing your chances of getting into an accident. Lane-Keep Assist and Departure Warning The lane-keep assist and departure warning systems use sensors to detect when your vehicle is veering out of its lane and then give you an audible or visual warning so you can take corrective action. Additionally, the Lane Change alert feature can help detect cars in your blind zone to prevent collisions. Teen Driver Mode Finally, our Buick and GMC vehicles also come with teen driver mode, which is designed to help new drivers learn the ropes while staying safe on the road. Teen driver mode limits certain features like volume control while also providing warnings when certain driving thresholds are exceeded (like the speed limit).

Are you thinking about buying a new car? Getting financing can help you afford an even better car than you would be able to without it. Here's how to make sure you're getting good car financing from your GMC dealer or Buick dealer in Conway, AR. 4 Tips for Getting Good Car Financing from Your GMC Dealer or Buick Dealer in Conway, AR 1. Get Pre-Approved One of the best things you can do when you're looking into getting financing for your vehicle is to get pre-approved. When you get pre-approved for a loan, you'll have a much better idea of what your budget looks like. This is super important to figure out before you start shopping. You don't want to get invested in a vehicle and then learn that you can't afford it. You also don't want to buy a cheap vehicle and realize later you could have spent more money on a better quality vehicle. Getting pre-approved helps you avoid these potential issues. 2. Consider Your Credit Score Your credit score is going to play a big role in the type of financing and loan that you can get for your car. That's why it's a really good idea to sit down and review your credit score before you head to your local dealer If you have a poor credit score, then it might be a good idea to find some ways to bring that score up before you look for a new car. Having a higher score will help you get the most out of your financing options. 3. Put Down as Large a Down Payment as Possible When you get financing for your car, you're going to need to put down a down payment when you've found a car that you like and want to buy. Some dealerships are fairly flexible about what that amount can be. You should try to put down as much as you possibly can for your down payment. Ideally, you'll be able to put down 20% or more. Remember, the larger your down payment, the lower your interest rates will be and therefore the lower your monthly payments will be too. 4. Make Your Payments on Time When you've figured out your budget, found your car, and made your down payment, the final part of the financing process is making your monthly payments. You'll continue making these payments until you've paid off the full cost plus interest of your vehicle. It's super important to make these payments on time. There are undoubtedly some things that can cause you to make payments late, but limit this from happening as much as possible. Late or missed payments will affect your credit score, so you'll want to make sure that you're paying your fees on time. Getting a new car is exciting, and getting financing can help you afford a great-quality car. If you're looking into financing, it's important to bear all the above tips in mind to make sure you get the best options. Ready to find your new car? Head down to Crain Buick GMC today.

One of the best things about choosing a new car from your local Buick or GMC dealer is the raft of new car safety features included or available. Whether it's a suite of cameras to give you a bird's eye view of your vehicle, or intelligent airbags to keep you safe in the event of a crash, you can be more confident than ever with these amazing features. 5 Great Car Safety Features You'll Find on Modern Buick and GMC Cars 1. Front Pedestrian Braking Front pedestrian braking is an intuitive system that constantly scans the road ahead for pedestrians. If someone on foot is detected ahead of you, and you haven't already applied the brakes, the system will trigger a range of audio and visual alerts. If a collision is imminent, then the system will trigger the brakes for you, to ensure you always stop in time. 2. Forward Collison Alert Similar to pedestrian detection, a Forward Collision Alert systems use a sophisticated suite of cameras to measure your distance to the vehicle ahead of you. If this vehicle brakes or slows down suddenly, the system will alert you to a potential crash. Not only this, but it also ensures you're following at a safe distance by setting off an alert if you get too close. 3. Lane Change Assist Monitoring your blind spots can be difficult, especially in heavy traffic. That's why new Buick and GMC vehicles can now be equipped with lane change alert and side blind zone alert, which monitors your blind spot for moving vehicles. When you change lanes, the system will alert you to any vehicle that's rapidly approaching your side blind zone when you maneuver, giving you time to take evasive action. 4. Lane Keeping Assist The available lane-keeping assist system can give you a nudge in the right direction to keep you in the correct lane. It works by monitoring the lane lines around your car and provides gentle nudges to your steering wheel if it detects you drifting out of the lane. The system only activates if you're not actively steering and your turn signal is not active. It can also warn you if you leave the lane. 5. Surround Vision This available feature uses a range of high-definition cameras around your vehicle to monitor the area around your car. Not only this, but it also gives you a digital birds-eye view of your car to help with close maneuvering. Your Buick and GMC Dealer Can Help!

This powertrain has a nine-speed automatic transmission for either AWD or FWD. In terms of performance, the current estimates are promising. For a GMC Terrain SLE that has FWD, you can expect a fuel economy of 25mpg in the city and 30mpg on the highway, while the AWD model is estimated to have 28pmg on the highway. Infotainment One of the most important features for many modern drivers is the technology onboard. The infotainment system for the GMC Terrain SLE promises to be one of the most responsive on the market, with connectivity to both Apple and Android devices, as well as a Wi-Fi hotspot built standard into all models. Some trims, such as the Denali, have standard navigation with this system. Safety These days, driver-assist features are a prominent must-have on every driver's new car list. GMC has gone above and beyond to ensure that most of these features are standard on their trims, which includes pedestrian detection automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. Drivers can also choose to add more safety features. The 2022 Terrain SLE has a spacious interior and a thoughtful design that lends itself to a positive driving experience. Although the facelift on next year's model is subtle, drivers will be able to enjoy many standard new features. In terms of performance, this SUV can keep up with its competition with effortless, driver-friendly performance.
