Heritage GMSV Safety

Driven by your safety

Nothing is more important than feeling confident and secure when you’re on the road. That’s why your safety is at the core of GMSV and the vehicles we bring to Australia and New Zealand. And with their wide range of features and technologies, our vehicles are constantly working to help you drive as safely as possible.

Ready and vigilant

FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING

If the system detects that a pedestrian is directly ahead and a collision is imminent, and the driver has not already applied the brakes, the system can alert the driver and may even automatically apply the brakes to help the driver avoid or reduce the harm caused by the collision. Performance is limited at night.

FORWARD AUTOMATIC BRAKING

If the system detects that a front-end collision situation is imminent while following a detected vehicle, and the driver has not already applied the brakes, the system can automatically apply the brakes to help reduce the collision’s severity. The system may even help avoid the collision at very low speeds.

Looking out and around

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL – CAMERA

This feature uses a forward-looking camera to enhance regular cruise control. The cruise control speed is automatically adapted in order to maintain a driver-selected gap between the vehicle and vehicles detected ahead while the driver steers, reducing the need for the driver to frequently brake and accelerate.

REAR VISION CAMERA

When in Reverse, this feature provides the driver with a view of the scene directly behind the vehicle on a center stack or inside rearview mirror display to help them park and avoid crashing into nearby objects during low-speed maneuvering.

HIGH-DEFINITION (HD) SURROUND VISION

Relative to the analog Surround Vision, this feature provides the driver with a higher resolution digital “bird’s-eye” view of the scene around the vehicle on a center stack display, and adds several additional views. It can help the driver park and avoid crashes with nearby objects during low-speed maneuvering.

REAR CAMERA MIRROR

Compared to a traditional inside rearview mirror, this rearview mirror display provides a wider, less obstructed field of view to assist when driving, changing lanes and checking for vehicles and traffic conditions.

Alerting you when it matters

LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT

This feature can provide side mirror alerts to help the driver potentially avoid crashing into a moving vehicle detected in their side blind zone or a vehicle that is rapidly approaching their side blind zone during a lane change maneuver.

Overseas model shown.

LANE KEEP ASSIST WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNING

Provides gentle steering wheel turns (and Lane Departure Warning alerts if necessary) to help drivers potentially avoid crashes due to unintentionally drifting out of their lane when they are not actively steering and their turn signal is not activated.

Overseas model shown.

SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT

Provides side mirror alerts to help the driver potentially avoid crashing into a moving vehicle detected in their side blind zone during a lane change maneuver.

FORWARD COLLISION ALERT

If the system detects that a front-end collision situation is imminent while following a detected vehicle, the system can alert the driver to a potential crash. It also can provide an alert if the driver following a detected vehicle much too closely.

REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT

When in Reverse, this feature can provide alerts to help the driver potentially avoid crashing into approaching detected left- or right-traveling cross traffic (e.g., out of a crowded parking space or driveway with side obstructions).

A message about safety

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.
