What can you expect with the latest Yukon XL model? Let’s explore the top safety features that make this SUV a smart choice for your next vehicle purchase!
Automatic Emergency Braking
Front-end collisions can do tons of damage to your vehicle — and put your life at risk. But this braking feature helps prevent these accidents from happening. Automatic Emergency Braking teams up with the Forward Collision Alert feature to help stop you from hitting the car in front of you.
Here’s how it works:
- Provides automatic hard emergency braking
- Enhances your hard braking if you’re already using the brakes
- Works when you’re going 50 mph or slower
Forward Collision Alert
This feature works with Automatic Emergency Braking to help reduce your risk of hitting the car you’re following. How does it work? Forward Collision Alert can detect any possible collisions with the vehicle in front of you. It gives you an immediate warning, so you can hit the brakes or take other action as needed.
That’s not all this feature does! Are you a bit too close to the car you’re following? Forward Collision Alert gives you a tailgating alert in this case.
Front and Rear Park Assist
Collisions don’t just happen on the road. They can occur in parking lots or parking spaces if vehicles or pedestrians get too close behind or in front of you. But this feature ensures that you get immediate alerts to avoid these kinds of accidents!
Front Pedestrian Braking
Keeping yourself safe isn’t your only concern when you’re behind the wheel. That’s why GMC offers the Front Pedestrian Braking feature. It provides an alert when it detects any pedestrians right in front of your vehicle.
This feature can also enhance your braking or automatically engage in hard emergency braking as needed. That helps you avoid hitting a pedestrian or at least helps prevent a severe collision with them.
Teen Driver
Planning on letting your teen drive your Yukon XL? GMC gives parents peace of mind with the Teen Driver feature. This does all of the following:
- Activates equipped safety systems when used with a designated key fob
- Gives in-vehicle report cards
- Keeps radio muted until your teen and front-seat passenger fasten their seat belts
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
Drifting out of your lane by accident can be a scary experience! But this feature makes sure you’re alerted in time. Lane Keep Assist turns the steering wheel briefly to let you know you’re starting to drift past the lane lines.
It’s designed to only do this if it detects you making unintentional moves out of your lane. So, you don’t have to worry about it going off if you’re purposely switching lanes or have your turn signal on.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
Changing lanes can be tricky — especially on busy freeways. Cars can end up in your blind zone where you might not see them in time. This safety feature helps reduce this risk and making lane changing much safer.
This safety feature gives you visual side-mirror alerts for cars that are approaching you fast. It also alerts you when cars are in the side blind zone.
