When you head to your Buick dealer, you expect to find luxury cars that deliver a solid performance. Those very same cars are packed full of tech-based driver assistance features. Let’s explore some of the common features you’ll find as part of the driver assistance system in your next Buick car so you’ll know what to expect when it comes to safety.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Driving can be tiring, so anything that can help you reduce the fatigue that comes with long journeys is helpful. Cruise control is one feature that helps keep that fatigue at bay. It allows you to focus on steering while your car handles speed changes to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you.
Automatic Emergency Braking
Driving would be even safer if you had an extra pair of eyes that worked by themselves, and maybe a couple more feet, too, to get to the pedals even faster in emergencies.
With Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking, you’ve got both of those things built into your car. Your car can monitor the road and alert you if there’s a driver or pedestrian you might collide with, and it can activate the brakes when necessary. Your car can also enhance your own hard braking when needed.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
Changing lanes can be tricky, as it’s difficult to see what’s going on in your blind zone. Your car helps make driving safer and more convenient by monitoring your blind zone, and it alerts you if there’s something in it.
This helps you prevent colliding with cars in your blind zone while you’re changing lanes. Seeing the alert is as easy as looking in both of your side mirrors, as that’s where the visual alerts appear when there’s something in your blind zone.
Lane Keeping Assist with Lane Departure Warning
Your car is smart enough to know the difference between you intentionally and unintentionally leaving your lane. If you’re drifting out of your lane lines, then your car will kick into gear and use a brief steering wheel turn to get you back on the right track and let you know that there’s a problem.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Backing up requires a lot of concentration, and it’s easier to concentrate if you know that there’s no car approaching from the left or right behind your vehicle. Because your car can alert you when there’s a car approaching from the side when you’re backing up, you can focus more on steering and safely reversing out of your parking spot or driveway.
