ESCALADE HOLDS SELF-AWARENESS
IN THE HIGHEST REGARD
LANE CHANGE ALERT
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT,
FRONT AUTOMATIC BRAKING
AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT
The Luxury and Premium Collections offer a DRIVER AWARENESS PACKAGE
with a class-exclusive SAFETY ALERT SEAT that sends pulses through the seat cushion
on the left or right or simultaneously, alerting you to a variety of potential hazards as well as
the direction they’re coming from; FORWARD COLLISION ALERT that uses a
forward-facing front camera to detect and warn you when an impact may be imminent; and L A N E
DEPARTURE WARNING
that monitors road lines and alerts you when the vehicle begins
to drift into another lane without the use of a turn signal. A DRIVER ASSIST PACKAGE
offered on the Premium Collection features ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL,
which uses forward-looking radar and camera technology to naturally maintain a driver-selected
following distance from the vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic.
FRONT AND REAR
AUTOMATIC BRAKING
detects when a frontal or rear collision is imminent and
automatically applies braking to lessen impact severity or perhaps avoid certain low-speed situations
altogether. Also included in the Driver Assist Package is AUTOMATIC SAFETY BELT
TIGHTENING
to help keep your belt precisely where it needs to be. Offered on Luxury and
Premium Collections is REAR CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT,
which uses sensors to sweep the left and right areas to the sides of your
Escalade when you back out of parking spots and alerts you to approaching
vehicles; SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT, which alerts you
with a side-mirror warning icon if a vehicle is in your blind spot before you
merge or make a lane change; and
LANE CHANGE ALERT,
which surveys the areas well beyond the side blind zones and flashes the
side-mirror warning icon to alert you of rapidly approaching vehicles.
Safety features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times.
