Buick Driver Confidence Explained: 6 Smart Safety Features You’ll Use Every Day
Today’s drivers want more than style and comfort — they want safety they can count on. That’s exactly what you get with Buick Driver Confidence, a suite of six advanced safety features now standard on many new Buick vehicles.
Whether you're navigating daily traffic or heading out on a weekend trip, these technologies work together to help you stay aware, avoid hazards, and feel more secure behind the wheel. Let’s break down the six standout features included in Buick Driver Confidence — and why they make a real difference in everyday driving.
1. Forward Collision Alert
The Forward Collision Alert system warns you when it senses you're getting too close to a vehicle ahead, giving you time to respond before a potential collision. It’s especially helpful in stop-and-go traffic or unexpected slowdowns.
2. Automatic Emergency Braking
If a crash seems likely and you haven’t reacted quickly enough, this system can automatically apply the brakes at lower speeds to reduce the severity of impact — or even avoid it altogether.
3. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure
Drift out of your lane without signaling? Your Buick will gently steer you back and alert you with a visual or audible warning. It’s a subtle but important tool for staying focused on long drives.
4. Following Distance Indicator
This feature helps you maintain a safe space between your Buick and the vehicle in front of you. It shows your gap time in seconds so you can easily judge whether you're following too closely.
5. Front Pedestrian Braking
Sensors detect if a pedestrian suddenly enters your path and can automatically apply emergency braking to help reduce or avoid a collision. Perfect for city driving and neighborhood streets.
6. IntelliBeam® Auto High Beams
Drive at night with less hassle. IntelliBeam® automatically switches between high and low beams depending on traffic conditions, so you always have the right amount of light without blinding others.
Why It Matters
These six technologies may seem small on their own — but together, they create a smarter, safer driving experience. Whether you’re a new driver or a seasoned commuter, Buick Driver Confidence gives you tools that actively help you stay in control.
