All Buick models have advanced driver assistance technologies available to help keep you and your passengers safe on the road. These systems use sonar, radar, and cameras to monitor the area around your vehicle and warn of potential accident situations. Some of these technologies will actively assist in preventing a collision. We're going to take a closer look at several Buick safety features and see how they work.

HD Surround Vision

This system is available on selected models and uses multiple cameras to create a real-time top-down view of the area surrounding your vehicle. Its split screen also provides an HD view from a single selectable camera covering any direction. If you shift into reverse, guidelines appear on the rear camera view to assist in guiding you into a parking bay.

Pedestrian Braking

This feature uses radar and a camera to detect pedestrians or animals that could cross your path. If something is detected, you'll receive audio and visual alerts warning you to brake or take other action to avoid a collision.
 
If a collision is likely, and you haven't hit the brakes, this system automatically applies hard braking to bring you to an almost instant stop to try and prevent an accident.

Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert

Changing lanes can often feel stressful, as some areas are blind spots you can't easily see into. A fast-moving vehicle in a blind spot could easily cause an accident when changing lanes. This system helps mitigate that problem using specialized sensors that continually monitor the blind spots on either side of your Buick.

When a direction indicator is active, any vehicle identified by the sensors triggers an audible warning alert, and a yellow icon of a vehicle will appear on the corresponding side mirror. This provides sufficient time to brake or turn back into your lane and avoid an accident.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

This system activates when you shift into reverse. Sensors on the rear sides of your Buick watch for vehicles moving on the left or right behind you. If a moving vehicle is identified, you receive visual and audio alerts that help you to brake and avoid a collision.

Following Distance Indicator

This system is always active and uses radar to identify any vehicle in front. It calculates the distance to the other vehicle, measured in seconds, and displays this information on your screen. With this information, you can decide if you need to slow down or brake to allow your following distance to increase.

These are a few samples of the advanced technology that makes Buick one of the safest vehicles to drive. If you'd like to know more, contact us today at Ed Martin Buick GMC in Carmel, IN
