Safety First: A Closer Look at Vehicle Advanced Safety Features
There is a lot happening, and fast, while cruising the roads of Columbus, Grove City, and Dublin, Ohio. A cyclist could be crossing the street. Another car could be merging over into your lane. There could be a pedestrian behind you pushing a grocery cart when in a shopping center. In all these moments, it is essential to your safety and the safety of others in and around your vehicle that you are aware of everything that is happening.
Luckily, Buick and GMC vehicles offer advanced safety features that can ensure that is the case and even take action in those crucial moments to help you avoid a collision. Below, our Mark Wahlberg Buick GMC team shares with you some of these advanced safety features that are specifically found in GMC and Buick vehicles.
While your eyes will mostly be fixated on the road ahead, your vehicle can help to keep a lookout for everything else happening around your vehicle. That includes what is behind your vehicle. An HD Rear Vision Camera can make it easy to back out of your garage, driveway, or street parking.
Even back your GMC truck right up to your trailer, boat, or RV with the help of Hitch Guidance with Hitch View, which you can get with the rearview camera. As you drive, you can even get a live view from the backup camera on the rearview mirror with the Rear Camera Mirror feature.
With a head-up display available in many of the GMC and Buick models, you can also get a look at your speed, navigation, and other key info you want to know while driving right on the dashboard. That way, your eyes can stay focused on what is ahead while also ensuring you stay within the speed limit and get over in time to make your exit off the highway.
With the advanced safety features our Buick and GMC models offer, you can have a new truck or SUV that can keep you one step ahead. With Follow Distance Indicator, your Buick or GMC can monitor the gap between you and the car in front of you. This allows you to always ensure you are staying far enough back in case they suddenly hit the brakes.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert is another helpful safety feature that can identify other vehicles are approaching from the adjacent lane. That way, you can know when there is enough room to safely switch over to that lane.
Then with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, your vehicle can detect when there are other cars in your path when in reverse. This makes it safer for you to know when to back out of a space in a crowded parking lot. With these features, your new vehicle helps you take a proactive approach to your safety, and that ultimately can help you reduce the chances of being involved in a collision.
There are times too where your vehicle can take control in order to keep you as safe as possible in those unexpected moments. Working with Forward Collision Alert, the Automatic Emergency Braking feature can activate the braking if you start to approach too closely to the car in front of you.
The IntelliBeam® system that is featured in a lot of GMC and Buick vehicles works to keep your path well-lit at night by automatically switching on the high beams when appropriate. Then there is the Lane Keep Assist system. This will give a brief turn of the steering wheel if it detects that you are beginning to drift too far to the left or right.
