Proactive Safety Technologies

The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 is equipped with a range of proactive safety technologies designed to prevent accidents before they occur. These features include:

  • Forward Collision Alert: This system monitors the traffic ahead and warns the driver if a front-end collision is imminent, allowing for timely corrective actions.
  • Automatic Emergency Braking: If a collision seems unavoidable and the driver does not react in time, the system automatically engages the brakes to reduce the impact or avoid the collision altogether.
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning: This feature helps drivers stay centered in their lane. If the vehicle begins to drift without signaling, gentle steering inputs and alerts help the driver stay on course.
  • Following Distance Indicator: By displaying the gap time between the Sierra and the vehicle ahead, this feature helps maintain a safe following distance.

Enhanced Visibility and Awareness

Navigating through tight spots and ensuring clear visibility are critical for safety. The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 includes several features to enhance driver awareness:

  • Surround Vision: This feature provides a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle’s surroundings, making it easier to navigate through tight spaces and park confidently.
  • Rear Camera Mirror: Offering a wide-angle view of what’s behind the vehicle, this mirror eliminates blind spots and improves rear visibility, enhancing safety during reversing and parking.
  • IntelliBeam Headlamps: These automatic high-beam headlamps adjust to the surrounding traffic conditions, providing optimal illumination without blinding other drivers.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

The GMC Sierra 1500 integrates a suite of ADAS technologies that aid in driving and parking:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control: This system maintains a set speed while automatically adjusting to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front, making highway driving more convenient and safer.
  • Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert: This feature provides visual alerts if a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, making lane changes safer and more confident.
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert: When reversing, this system detects cross traffic behind the vehicle and provides alerts to avoid potential collisions.

Trailering Safety

For those who tow, the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 offers specialized features to enhance trailering safety:

  • Trailer Sway Control: This system uses the brakes and engine torque to help keep the trailer in line, ensuring a stable and safe towing experience.
  • Hill Start Assist: This feature prevents the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an incline, providing added confidence during trailering.
  • Integrated Trailer Brake Controller: This allows the driver to control the trailer’s brakes from the cab, ensuring synchronized braking and reducing wear on the vehicle’s brakes.

Robust Structural Safety

The 2024 Sierra 1500 is built with a high-strength steel frame and reinforced safety cage, providing a solid foundation for crash protection. The truck is also equipped with:

  • Multiple Airbags: Including front, side-impact, and head-curtain airbags, the Sierra 1500 offers extensive occupant protection in the event of a collision.
  • Safety Alert Seat: This innovative feature provides tactile feedback to the driver by vibrating the seat, alerting to potential hazards and enhancing situational awareness.
