Conquer Winter with Cadillac

With more focus on safety technology than ever before, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the wealth of features designed to keep you safe while you’re on the road. Cadillac is putting safety first with all the best features to keep you alert, aware, and on the right path. Not only does this automaker's suite of driver assistance systems look out for you, passive safety features are hard at work ensuring your vehicle maintains impeccable brake and traction performance.* Check out some of the most impressive ways Cadillac is protecting you and your passengers on the road.

Active Safety Features

For 2023, the available Cadillac Driver Assistance Features and Packages improve upon previous generations, including safety features designed to prevent avoidable accidents, as well as react to the unavoidable ones. Thanks to industry-leading autonomous driving technology, radar, and cameras, it's never been safer to drive a new Cadillac.

• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning – By monitoring the markings, curbs, and road edges using the forward-facing camera, this feature can notify you when you deviate from your lane. It can even make steering adjustments when needed.
• Driver Attention System – By monitoring your driving patterns, this feature can detect when you’re inattentive and suggest that you take a break.
• Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert – Using radar sensors mounted on the rear of the vehicle, this system can detect cars in your blind spot. When a vehicle is detected there by the system, it will notify the driver.
• Forward Automatic Braking and Front Pedestrian Braking – This feature uses frontal radar to detect obstacles or pedestrians in your path and even apply the brakes automatically to prevent a collision.
• Super Cruise™ – Cruise into the 21st Century. This feature uses frontal radar and cameras to detect the traffic ahead and maintain distance as well as speed. It can even steer the vehicle to stay in the lane at high speeds (see video below).**

Passive Safety Features

In addition to the driver assistance features available on many models, passive safety features are quietly working behind the scenes and keeping you and your passengers safe. Robust frames and seatbelts that work in concert with other advanced safety technology are just the beginning. Cadillac has also added systems that enhance braking and handling performance for safety. These features inspire driving confidence that can help you tackle a variety of road conditions.

• StabiliTrak Adaptive Ride Control – In instances of strong oversteer or understeer while cornering, your Buick or GMC vehicle automatically works to regain and maintain predictability.
• Electronic Traction Control – This system keeps your drive wheels planted in the event of excessive throttle input on surfaces like ice, mud, and wet roads.
• Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) – ABS keeps your wheels from locking up when brakes are applied heavily, making sure your vehicle comes to a stop when you need it to.
• OnStar® Emergency Services – In the event of an accident, this feature can automatically notify emergency services to bring roadside assistance.
• Fusion Frame (pictured below) – Using the latest in super-strong lightweight materials, Cadillac builds vehicles with strong bones designed for rigidity and optimal acoustics, as well as optimal protection for passengers inside.
