The GMC model lineup embraces the notion that vehicle safety is the paramount consideration when it comes to everything an automobile has to offer. That's why the company has invested so much in safety and driver-assistance technologies to implement in GMC trucks and SUVs. As the name implies, driver-assistance technology helps the driver avoid collisions to not only prevent damage to the vehicle but also save lives. While these technological advancements are making vehicles safer than ever before, it's still essential that the driver remains attentive at all times.
The GMC Pro Safety system is GMC's standard suite of driver assistance technologies.
- Automatic Emergency Braking: This feature applies the brakes automatically the driver's braking when detecting a potential collision with another vehicle or stationary object. Note that it only works at speeds under 50 MPH.
- Following Distance Indicator: This system displays the gap time in seconds between your vehicle and the one in front of you.
- Forward Collision Alert: This system sets off an alarm if it detects a potential collision.
- Front Pedestrian Braking: This system augments the Automatic Emergency Braking system to detect pedestrians in front of the vehicle as well.
- IntelliBeam®: This system automatically switches between high and low headlight beams depending on traffic conditions.
- Lane Keep Assist: This system automatically applies a gentle steering correction to keep you in the current lane when detecting an unintentional lane drift.
- Lane Departure Warning: This feature sets off an alarm when the vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of the current lane.
Many GMC vehicles either include or offer an upgraded version of the GMC Pro Safety system called GMC Pro Safety Plus, which adds four driver-assistance features.
- Lane Change Alert: This system fires an alarm if it detects another vehicle or an object in your vehicle's path when you are changing lanes.
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert: This feature sets off an alarm when it detects traffic coming from the left or right when in reverse, which is helpful when backing out.
- Rear Park Assist: This system provides distance alerts when detecting objects behind the vehicle to help you park and avoid low-speed collisions.
- Side Blind Zone Alert: This feature will set off a warning light when detecting another vehicle in your blind spot and fire an alarm if you attempt to change lanes.
In addition to the GMC Pro Safety systems, GMC vehicles offer a range of helpful camera systems.
- High-Definition Rear Vision Camera: This is a backup camera that shows a video feed when in reverse.
- High Definition Surround Vision: This system displays a video feed around the vehicle at low speeds to assist with narrow driving and parking.
- Hitch Guidance/Hitch View: These cameras assist with towing and hauling.
- Rear Camera Mirror: This system displays a video feed of behind the vehicle instead of using a mirror reflection, when disabled, the mirror works like a normal mirror.
