GMC Safety Technology That Helps Prevent Distracted Driving

Distracted driving is a leading cause of auto accidents. For your safety, there are a multitude of GMC safety features that are designed to prevent distracted driving accidents. We’re highlighting the top safety and driver-assistance features in new GMC vehicles at Rick Weaver GMC.

Driver Attention Assist™

One of the best protectors against distracted driving is the Driver Attention Assist™ feature. It can sense if you’re drowsy or distracted behind the wheel. It can even proactively offer suggestions to help you re-focus, such as opening a playlist or helping you navigate to a good stopping place.

Forward Collision Alert

When you aren’t paying attention, you don’t give yourself enough time to respond to other drivers on the road. The Forward Collision Alert will alert you if you’re following another vehicle too closely. It will also warn you if it senses that a collision is unavoidable. If you’re driving between five and 50 mph, Automatic Emergency Braking can even automatically brake your vehicle to keep you protected.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

You’re also in danger of veering from your lane if you get distracted behind the wheel. That’s why models like the new GMC Acadia are equipped with Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. The feature will briefly turn your steering wheel to keep you from drifting from your lane. If you don’t respond, it will provide additional alerts.

Rear Cross Traffic Braking

There are also advanced features available to aid you when you’re in reverse. The Rear Cross Traffic Braking feature will alert you if it detects a vehicle crossing behind you when you’re in reverse. It can even automatically apply your brakes to help you avoid a collision. Many vehicles are also equipped with Reverse Automatic Braking as an added precaution.
