No GMC would be complete without brilliant driver-assistance features. It offers a lane departure warning that helps you to avoid possible crashes due to drifting from your current lane.

The traction control helps maintain the traction between the tires and the road during rainy or snowy conditions.
Additional driver-assistance features are a surround-view camera system, forward collision warning, and front and rear parking sensors.
