The advanced safety features found on the 2022 GMC Sierra

When we think of the 2022 GMC Sierra, we think about the performance, the styling, the new Denali Ultimate and AT4X trims, and of course the towing capability. What we don't necessarily think about is the impressive safety technologies that join a long list of enhanced characteristics that make the 2022 Sierra the most complete and comprehensive pickup ever built.

 

Not only does the 2022 GMC Sierra offer self driving capability with the advanced Super Cruise system, but it also offers best-in-class four-wheel-drive diesel towing capacity and best-in-class horsepower for a diesel engine. The new AT4X model features front and rear E-lockers that you will not find on any other truck, and you can even get 16-way power front seats with a massaging feature. As you can see, the new Sierra really delivers when it comes to giving you more, and this holds true with its advanced safety features as well.

 

Here are some of the safety technologies that you will find on the new 2022 GMC Sierra. These technologies are included in the GMC Pro suite of active safety technologies that comes standard on the 2022 Sierra.

 

Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Departure Warning

 

Distractions can happen when you are out on the road. Technologies such as Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Departure Warning are designed to make sure that these distractions do not become more serious. Lane Departure Warning will keep you in the centre of your lane by warning you if you are about to deviate from your trajectory. If you fail to react to the warning, Lane Keeping Assist will bring you back to the centre of your lane by taking control momentarily of the steering wheel.


Forward Collision Warning with Pedestrian Detection


The forward collision warning system is a technology that can detect if a vehicle has suddenly hit the brakes in front of you. This can happen a lot in the city but it is also something that happens often on the highway when there is congestion. The system can detect a potential collision and automatically apply the brakes if required to prevent an accident. This is a perfect example of a technology that you will be very happy to have should you need it. Better yet, the system can also detect pedestrians.


 

Adaptive Cruise Control


With adaptive cruise control, you not only can select a speed that the vehicle will keep, but you can also select a set distance from the vehicle ahead so that not only is your speed preserved, but the distance as well. The end result is a much more relaxing drive and improved safety. This system can be used when trailering as well which is particularly useful for a pickup.


Trailer Side Blind Zone


The blind spot monitoring system will warn you that there is a vehicle in your blind spot through the use of a small light on the side view mirror and for 2022, this system can account for a trailer behind the Sierra.


Rear Seat Reminder


The rear seat reminder minimizes the likelihood of forgetting an animal or a child in the backseat. The technology will detect if the rear doors were opened before leaving and once you arrive at your destination, you will be reminded to check in the back to make sure that you do not forget anything or anyone. This is a very very important technology designed to save lives and we are happy to have it should we ever need it.
