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.
