SAFETY
BECAUSE EVERY MOMENT MATTERS
Safe travels start with aware drivers. That’s why all Buick vehicles offer available safety and driver assistance features that help you keep your senses sharp and your confidence high.
Safety or driver-assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Visibility, weather and road conditions may affect feature performance. Read the vehicle Owner’s Manual for more important feature limitations and information.
Perceive
To help make you more aware of your surroundings, select Buick models offer a suite of integrated cameras to give you an overhead virtual “birds-eye” view of the scene around your vehicle.
Prevent
When certain hazards are detected, your Buick can trigger alerts to let you know. Some features offered on select models can even apply the brakes or gently nudge the steering wheel to help you avoid crashes or reduce their severity in some situations.
Protect
In the event of a crash, strong structural dynamics, intelligent airbag systems† and other advanced safety systems work in concert to help protect you and your passengers.
ACTIVE SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES
STAY ONE STEP AHEAD
You never know what hazards the road will bring. But you can engineer safety technologies that are so sophisticated, so intuitive, they can help you respond to them. That’s exactly what we did with these available active safety technologies, offered on select models.
Some features shown may have limited, late or no availability. See dealer for feature availability.
Raise Your Awareness
Available Front Pedestrian Braking can help you avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a pedestrian it detects directly in front of you. It provides alerts and can automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking. It has limited nighttime and low visibility performance.
Change Lanes More Confidently
Available Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert† provides visual side-mirror alerts when a moving vehicle is detected either quickly approaching or already in your side blind zone. It can help you avoid lane change collisions.
A Nudge In The Right Direction
Available Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning uses a brief steering wheel turn to alert you when it detects you are unintentionally drifting out of your lane lines. If needed, you may receive additional Lane Departure Warning alerts. System alerts do not occur if you’re using your turn signal, or it detects you may be intentionally leaving your lane.
A Heads-Up Backup Plan
When in Reverse, available Rear Cross Traffic Alert† can alert you of detected cross traffic behind your vehicle.
A Helpful Hand
Automatic Emergency Braking works with Forward Collision Alert to help you avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a detected vehicle you’re following. Camera technology is used to automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking.
Get Help Keeping Your Distance
Following Distance Indicator displays the following time in seconds between your vehicle and a detected vehicle you’re following to help you maintain a safe following distance.
Shed A Little Light On The Road Ahead
At speeds above 25 mph, IntelliBeam® can automatically turn the vehicle’s high beams on and off according to surrounding traffic conditions.
Keep Moving Forward
Forward Collision Alert can warn you if it detects a potential collision with a detected vehicle you’re following so you can take action. It can also provide a tailgating alert if you’re following a vehicle much too closely.
ADVANCED SAFETY SYSTEMS
PEACE OF MIND FOR YOUR BUSY LIFE
Whether you’re flying solo, handling carpool duties or allowing your teen to get behind the wheel, available innovative in-vehicle systems help raise your confidence level.
24/7 Support
Available OnStar® provides crucial safety services such as Automatic Crash Response† and Roadside Assistance,† along with the comforting sounds of a human voice.
Coach Your Teen
When a Teen Driver-designated key fob is used, Teen Driver helps encourage better driving habits for teens by providing an in-vehicle report card. It also activates certain safety systems when a Teen Driver-designated key fob is used and mutes the radio until the front-seat occupants fasten their seat belts.
Proactive Pulses
Safety Alert Seat uses left-, right- or both-side driver seat vibration pulses to help you detect and identify the direction of potential crashes. You can also switch to beeping crash avoidance alerts.
