Unveiling Advanced Technology in Buick and GMC Vehicles at Eagle Buick GMC in Homosassa
What Sets Buick Apart
Buick may not be known for being on the cutting edge of automotive technology, but they do offer a range of advanced features that enhance comfort, safety, and the driving experience:
Driver-Assistance Technology:
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): This system can detect potential frontal collisions with vehicles and pedestrians and apply automatic braking to mitigate impact or avoid a collision altogether.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW): This system uses sensors to warn you of a potential collision with a vehicle ahead, giving you time to react.
Lane Departure Warning (LDW): This system alerts you if your vehicle begins to drift out of its lane unintentionally.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA): This builds upon LDW by gently steering the vehicle back into its lane if it detects unintended lane departure.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM): This system uses sensors to detect vehicles in your blind spot and provides a warning light in your side mirror or a chime to alert you.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): This system maintains a set following distance from the car ahead, automatically adjusting your speed to maintain that distance.
Head-Up Display (HUD): Projects vital information like speed, navigation, and safety warnings onto the windshield within your line of sight, minimizing the need to look away from the road.
Safety and Security Technology:
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA): This system warns you of approaching vehicles from the sides when backing out of a parking space.
Parking Assist: This system uses sensors to help you park your vehicle by guiding you into the parking space and potentially even steering the wheel for you in some models.
OnStar Safety & Security Services: Provides features like Automatic Crash Response, Stolen Vehicle Assistance, and remote unlocking capabilities (available subscription required).
High-Strength Steel Safety Cage: Buick vehicles incorporate high-strength steel to create a strong passenger compartment in the event of a collision.
Teen Driver Mode (available on some models): Allows parents to set limitations on certain vehicle features, like speed or audio volume, to encourage safe driving habits for new teenage drivers.
Infotainment Technology:
Large Touchscreens: Buick offers user-friendly touchscreen infotainment systems that provide access to audio, navigation, and smartphone connectivity features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Bose Sound Systems: Available premium sound systems from Bose deliver a richer and more immersive audio experience.
Wi-Fi Hotspot (available on some models): Provides internet access for passengers on the go (may require a data plan).
Wireless Charging (available on some models): Allows you to charge your compatible smartphone without the need for a cable.
Comfort and Convenience Technology:
Heated and Ventilated Seats: Provides comfort in both hot and cold weather.
Heated Steering Wheel: Keeps your hands warm on chilly mornings.
Panoramic Sunroof: Offers a spacious and airy feel to the cabin.
Remote Start: Allows you to start your vehicle and pre-heat or cool the cabin before you get in.

What Makes GMC Stand Out
GMC trucks and SUVs are known for their blend of capability and comfort, and advanced technology plays a significant role in achieving that balance. Here’s what makes GMC stand out in the tech department:
Driver-Assistance Technology for Enhanced Capability:
Super Cruise: This industry-first feature offers true hands-free driving on compatible highways. It utilizes a combination of cameras and radar to maintain lane position and follow traffic ahead, making long journeys more relaxing (driver attention is still required).
Multi-Camera System with Surround Vision: Provides a 360-degree bird’s-eye view of your surroundings, assisting with tight maneuvering, parking, and off-road navigation.
Advanced Trailer Technology: Includes features like trailer sway control, blind spot monitoring for trailers, and a transparent trailer view that projects your trailer’s blind spot onto the infotainment screen. These features are particularly valuable for confident towing experiences.
Off-Road Assist: GMC offers features like hill descent control and traction select systems that optimize performance on uneven terrain, providing drivers with greater control and confidence when venturing off-road.
Advanced Safety Features:
Next Generation Driver-Assistance Systems: GMC employs the latest iteration of driver-assistance features like automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning with lane keep assist, and forward collision alert. These systems utilize advanced sensors and cameras for improved detection and faster response times.
Night Vision: Available on some models, this system uses infrared cameras to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, helping drivers spot potential hazards like pedestrians or animals on the road.
Head-Up Display: Projects vital information like speed, navigation, and safety warnings onto the windshield within your line of sight, minimizing distractions.
Tech that Enhances Comfort and Convenience:
GMC Infotainment System with Google Built-In: This system seamlessly integrates Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play for voice-activated navigation, access to your favorite music and entertainment, and hands-free calling.
Connected Services: GMC offers a suite of connected services like remote start, stolen vehicle assistance, and OnStar safety features (subscription required), providing peace of mind and remote access to your vehicle.
Bose® Premium Audio Systems: Deliver an exceptional audio experience for enjoying music, podcasts, or audiobooks on the road.
Advanced Cabin Technologies: Heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and a panoramic sunroof elevate comfort levels for both driver and passengers.

By incorporating these advanced technologies, GMC equips its vehicles to handle a variety of driving situations. Whether you’re navigating city streets, conquering off-road trails, towing heavy loads, or prioritizing safety for your family, GMC’s tech offerings aim to enhance your driving experience and provide you with the confidence and capability to go further.
