GMC’s Advanced Safety Technologies: Protecting You on Each Journey

GMC vehicles combine famous ruggedness with sophisticated safety and driver-assistance technology. When behind the wheel of one of these remarkable trucks or cars, you’re extremely safe on the road. Here’s an outline of some of the best GMC safety features, which come as standard or available on the various modern GMC models. 

Automatic Parking Assist

With Front and Rear Park Assist, you have precise distance alerts at both ends of your car or truck, letting you know exactly how far you are from other vehicles and obstacles while parking. The Automatic Parking Assist raises the bar even higher. With this feature, your vehicle identifies a parking space and then steers you neatly into it. All you need to do is apply the brakes and gas and change gears as directed. 

Forward Collision Alert

With advanced camera and radar technology, your vehicle constantly scans the road ahead, letting you know how safe your distances are from other vehicles with a tailgating alert. It also detects any sudden collision threats and warns you clearly so you can act to avoid a crash. If necessary, your vehicle can also apply automatic braking for you. 

Front Pedestrian and Bicycle Braking 

When driving at speeds between five and 50 mph, your vehicle will also respond to any collision threat with a pedestrian or cyclist who appears in front of you. You’ll be alerted, your own braking will be enhanced, and emergency hard braking may also be applied.

Hitch Guidance With Hitch View

With this feature, hitching any trailer has never been easier. Your dashboard displays a close-up rear-camera view of the hitch receiver and coupler, allowing you to reverse and connect to your trailer safely and precisely. 

Rear Camera Mirror 

This feature makes your rearview mirror even more useful by allowing you to switch the mirror into rearview camera mode. The mirror then becomes a screen displaying a high-definition view of everything behind your vehicle. 

Rear Cross-Traffic Braking

When reversing, drivers don’t always notice cars approaching behind them. With this feature activated, your truck or car monitors the road in both directions, instantly letting you know of any potential collision threats. It can also apply emergency hard braking.
