Advanced assistance technology is all the rage in the latest Cadillac models. With these driver assistance features, you are safer on the road, and you can feel more confident performing tricky vehicle maneuvers. Learn more about the common assistive technology on this year’s models before you visit your Cadillac dealer. 

Mastering Advanced Driving at Your Cadillac Dealer Assistance Technologies

One of the most common advanced assistances features you will find on this year’s Cadillac models is adaptive cruise control. This feature works by monitoring the distance between your vehicle and the car ahead of you via forward-facing cameras and sensors, so your Cadillac can maintain an ideal following distance even as the flow of traffic changes. This feature can even resume the ideal speed and following distance after a brief stop.

As a driver, you will be able to select your ideal following distance (Near, Medium, or Far) for the specific traffic or road conditions you are driving in. Adaptive cruise control is a brilliant feature since it reduces driver fatigue, improves fuel economy, and reduces brake pad wear. You can easily control this feature with convenient steering wheel-mounted controls. 

Enhanced Automatic Parking

The 2024 LYRIQ is a crowd-pleasing eco-friendly vehicle with plenty of personality. This model comes with standard assistive technology, such as enhanced automatic parking. This feature is a great tool if you don’t feel confident with parallel parking or perpendicular parking maneuvers, or you need to squeeze your Cadillac into a tight parking space. 

This feature works by using sensors and software to park the vehicle automatically. When enhanced automatic parking is turned on, your vehicle will be able to steer itself and use the brake system to park or unpark the vehicle.

Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone

The incredibly popular 2024 Cadillac CT5 has plenty of assistive features, such as lane change alert with side blind zone. This advanced feature uses radar technology to monitor the position of vehicles approaching your vehicle’s blind side and emits a visual warning on your side mirrors. With this feature, you can avoid accidents that may occur during lane changes. 

Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

One of the best assistive features for the 2024 Cadillac XT5 is rear cross-traffic alert. This feature can help you avoid accidents when you are backing out of a parking space. The rear cross-traffic alert uses radars to identify obstacles, like other vehicles, approaching the rear of your Cadillac when you are reversing. If an obstacle is detected, this feature can engage the automatic emergency brakes. 

Assistive driver technology can reduce the stress associated with difficult driving maneuvers, particularly when you are driving in the city. Test out these features when you book a test drive at Earnhardt Cadillac in Scottsdale, AZ.
