GMC Takes Safety to a New Level

 GMC Takes Safety to a New Level

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – While automakers find more ways to make new vehicles better, GMC puts safety features first. GMC takes safety to a new level with features that are not what you would expect. Instead of creating more alert systems for your vehicle’s surroundings, GMC is taking the lead over other automaker brands by creating the industry-first Rear Seat Reminder feature. The Rear Seat Reminder feature will make its debut in the new 2017 GMC Acadia models and will become a desirable feature in the SUV.

When life gets busy, sometimes the most organized people can forget something in the back seat. GMC is tackling the back seat problems head on according to Tricia Morrow, GM global safety strategy engineer. She stated, “Whether it’s your lunch, laptop, pet or most importantly, your child, it’s easier than it seems to forget what’s in the back seat when moving between life’s events. With this new feature, we are leading the charge to address this ongoing problem.”

So we know the Rear Seat Reminder is a good thing to have when it comes to the safety of preventing children or animals from being left unattended in a vehicle, but how does the Rear Seat Reminder work? Well the new reminder system monitors the GMC Acadia’s rear doors. It can detect if either rear door is opened or closed within 10 minutes of your Acadia starting. It can also detect your rear doors while the vehicle is running. Once the Acadia is turned off a message will display across the driver’s information center that reads “Rear Seat Reminder/ Look in Rear Seat”.

 GMC Takes Safety to a New Level

GMC has created the new Rear Seat Reminder technology to help lower the statistics of children and animals dying of heatstroke, and to help lower the larceny percentage in vehicles. Now that GMC takes safety to a new level, the innovative reminder technology will be a standard feature in 2017 Acadia.
