In today's fast-paced world, safety on the road is more crucial than ever. Whether you're navigating the bustling streets of Salinas or embarking on a scenic drive through Soledad, Buick and GMC vehicles are equipped with cutting-edge safety features designed to protect you and your loved ones. At Gold Star Buick GMC, we're proud to showcase these innovative technologies that are revolutionizing the driving experience from Watsonville to Gilroy and beyond.

Proactive Protection

Buick and GMC have taken driver assistance to the next level with their suite of proactive safety features. The Buick Encore GX, for instance, comes equipped with Forward Collision Alert, which uses advanced sensors to monitor the road ahead. If it detects a potential collision with a vehicle or pedestrian, it alerts the driver, giving you precious extra seconds to react. This technology is particularly beneficial when driving through busy areas like downtown Monterey.

Similarly, the GMC Acadia features Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. This system gently steers your vehicle back into its lane if you unintentionally drift, ensuring you stay on course whether you're cruising down Highway 101 or navigating the winding roads of Monterey County.

360-Degree Awareness

Maneuvering in tight spaces or backing out of crowded parking lots in Salinas can be challenging. That's where Buick and GMC's surround vision technologies come into play. Many models, including the GMC Terrain, offer available HD Surround Vision. This feature provides a bird's-eye view of your vehicle, making it easier to navigate tight spots and avoid obstacles you might not otherwise see.

For added convenience and safety, Rear Cross Traffic Alert is available on select models. This system warns you of approaching vehicles when backing out of a parking space, a particularly useful feature in busy shopping centers in Watsonville or Gilroy.

Intelligent Lighting

Driving at night or in poor weather conditions can be stressful, especially on the fog-prone roads near Monterey. Buick and GMC have addressed this with their IntelliBeam® headlamp system. Available on models like the Buick Enclave, this smart lighting technology automatically adjusts between high and low beams based on traffic conditions, ensuring optimal visibility without blinding oncoming drivers.

Additionally, some models feature LED daytime running lamps and fog lamps, enhancing visibility and making your vehicle more noticeable to others on the road, whether you're driving through the Salinas Valley or along the Pacific Coast Highway.

Teen Driver Technology

For families in Soledad and surrounding areas with young drivers, Buick and GMC offer Teen Driver Technology. This innovative system allows parents to set speed alerts, audio volume limits, and even provides a report card of driving habits. It's an excellent tool for helping new drivers develop safe practices on the roads of Monterey County and beyond.

OnStar® and Connected Services

All Buick and GMC vehicles come with the option to include OnStar® services, providing peace of mind wherever your journeys take you. From Automatic Crash Response to Roadside Assistance, help is just a button push away. This service is particularly reassuring when traveling through less populated areas between Gilroy and Monterey.
