GMC’s Safety and Driver Assistance Technology

Road safety is a big concern for all car shoppers, and GMC recognizes the significance of safety for those considering purchasing or leasing a new vehicle. That’s why GMC vehicles are equipped with cutting-edge safety and driver-assistance technologies. These features not only increase the driver's awareness of potential road hazards but also promote safer driving practices. This holistic safety strategy aims to enhance the driving experience, providing world-class standards that ensure the protection of both the occupants and others on the road.

GMC Pro Safety Features

GMC Pro Safety incorporates a suite of advanced features designed to enhance vehicle safety:

1. Forward Collision Alert: This system warns the driver of potential front-end collisions with a preceding vehicle, allowing for prompt action. It also includes a tailgating alert when following another vehicle too closely.
2. Automatic Emergency Braking: Integrated with the Forward Collision Alert, this feature aims to prevent or mitigate front-end collisions with a detected vehicle ahead. Operating at speeds below 50 mph, it uses camera technology to initiate or augment the driver's emergency braking.
3. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning: This function gently steers the vehicle to alert the driver of unintentional lane departures, aiding in maintaining lane discipline. Additional alerts are provided if necessary, except when turn signals are in use or lane changes are deemed intentional.
4. Following Distance Indicator: This tool displays the time interval, in seconds, between your vehicle and the one ahead, helping to maintain a safe following distance.
5. Front Pedestrian Braking: Aimed at preventing or reducing the impact of front-end collisions with pedestrians, this system operates below 50 mph during daytime. It offers pedestrian alerts and can initiate automatic emergency braking.
6. IntelliBeam®: This feature automatically controls the high-beam headlights based on the traffic conditions, enhancing visibility and safety.

Each of these technologies has been carefully designed to enhance the safety and comfort of both the occupants and other people on the road.

GMC Pro Safety Plus Features

In addition to the aforementioned technologies, GMC Pro Safety Plus also includes:

• Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert: This system provides visual alerts in the side mirrors when a detected vehicle is approaching quickly or is in your blind spot, helping to prevent lane change collisions.
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert: When reversing, this system warns you of detected vehicles crossing behind your vehicle, helping to avoid collisions.
• Rear Park Assist: This system provides audible alerts indicating the distance to nearby objects behind your vehicle, aiding in safe parking maneuvers at low speeds.
