5 Car Safety Features You’ll Find on Current GMC Vehicles

Rear Camera Mirror

Good visibility is key to safe driving. When behind the wheel, it’s important to be able to see your surroundings in every direction, including the rear.

Modern GMC vehicles enhance your visibility to the rear by allowing you to turn your rearview mirror into a high-definition LCD screen that provides a wider, less obstructed view from a camera at the back of your vehicle. You can make this switch any time you like at the touch of a button on your mirror.

High Definition Surround Vision

Parking and any precise maneuvers are made far easier and safer with the High-Definition Surround Vision feature that displays on your dashboard screen a digital overhead image of your car and any nearby objects. This image is generated from data collected by your vehicle’s various exterior cameras.

Forward Collision Alert

Any sudden collision hazards that appear on the road ahead of you, including wandering pedestrians, are detected by Forward Collision Alert, which then gives you a clear visual and audio warning. If you don’t take corrective action rapidly enough, your car can apply the brakes with just the right amount of pressure to avoid a collision. This feature can also let you know if you’re tailgating another car too closely.

Safety Alert Seat

To help make you aware of a potential road hazard, your seat can pulse the instant a threat is detected. The seat pulses will be on the right or left of your seat to indicate the direction of the threat. If the threat is coming from directly ahead or behind you, both sides will pulse at once.

Automatic Parking Assist

While parking is rarely a dangerous maneuver, it can sometimes result in bumps, scrapes, and costly repair jobs. Modern GMC vehicles dramatically reduce the chance of a parking mishap with Automatic Parking Assist. This feature can automatically identify a nearby parking spot and then steer you into it while you follow directions for braking, accelerating, and shifting gears.
