Between the wildlife and uncertain weather conditions, South Dakota drivers know you can’t predict what can happen out on the road. Luckily, GMC trucks and SUV models are built to help you go with confidence. The GMC Pro Safety and GMC Pro Safety Plus packages are two suites of advanced safety features and driver-assistive technologies designed to help avoid potential collisions. Take a ride with the staff at Vern Eide GM in Mitchell as we explore these innovative safety features and their capabilities.
From parking to highway cruising, GMC’s active safety and driver assistance features act as another set of eyes on board your vehicle, helping to prevent detected collisions.
Forward Automatic Braking can alert Mitchell area drivers when a front-end collision is detected to be imminent with the vehicle ahead of them. This driver-assistive technology can also help reduce the collision’s severity or completely avoid the collision by automatically applying hard emergency braking or enhancing driver hard braking.
Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking—which operates below 50 MPH—can alert you when it determines that a front-end collision is likely with the vehicle ahead. This system can also help reduce the severity of a collision or avoid the collision entirely by automatically applying hard emergency braking or enhancing driver hard braking.
At speeds below 50 MPH, Front Pedestrian Braking can alert South Dakota drivers when a collision is detected to be imminent with a pedestrian directly ahead of the vehicle. This driver-assistive feature can also help reduce the severity of a collision by automatically applying hard emergency braking or enhancing driver hard braking.
In addition to sensors and radar, the Adaptive Cruise Control-Camera provides a boost to your regular cruise control by using camera technology to automatically adapt the vehicle speed to maintain your selected following gap time between your vehicle and any vehicles detected ahead while you steer, reducing the need for you to frequently brake and accelerate.
If the system detects your vehicle unintentionally drifting from its lane without any steering activity or the use of a turn signal, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning can help you avoid a collision by applying gentle steering inputs. This driver-assistive feature can also provide Lane Departure Warning alerts if a lane marker is crossed.
Whether you need some assistance with a parallel park in Downtown Sioux Falls or a perpendicular park in Huron, Automatic Parking Assist can help you while moving at idle speed by automatically steering the vehicle into a detected parking space as you follow text commands, select gears, and perform all braking and acceleration.
With the help of audible beeps, visual notifications, and tactile alerts, the GMC safety features listed below can help South Dakota motorists avoid potential collisions.
Rather than receive beeps for crash avoidance alerts, the Safety Alert Seat will provide seat-vibration pulses on the bottom of the driver’s seat.
Say goodbye to your vehicle’s blind spot. Side Blind Zone Alert can provide visual side-mirror notifications when a moving vehicle is detected in your side blind zone.
Do you frequently utilize your truck or SUV’s hitch? This GMC feature provides you with crystal-clear guidelines as you reverse, to help you align your vehicle with your trailer or boat seamlessly.
GMC’s multi-camera display creates an all-encompassing viewpoint that allows you to see your surroundings from every angle. This is an incredibly helpful feature for additional parking assistance.
This feature provides a clear image of the back of your vehicle while you reverse at low speeds. Get alerted as you approach hard-to-see objects and avoid unnecessary accidents or damage to your vehicle.
If your vehicle unintentionally drifts from its lane when the turn signal has not been used, Lane Departure Warning can provide a series of alerts to help you avoid a collision.
Mitchell area drivers can use the Following Distance Indicator to establish a following gap time—or headway—between their GMC and the detected vehicle in front of them to help keep from following too closely.
In order to help South Dakota drivers with parking duties and avoid objects at low speeds, Front and Rear Park Assist can provide distance alerts to nearby obstacles.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert can help protect your GMC from both sides by alerting you if left or right cross traffic is detected while your vehicle is in Reverse.
