Safety is one of the highest priorities when choosing a new vehicle and the 2024 GMC Terrain does not disappoint in this department. We’re exploring the Terrain’s wide range of safety features in this guide from Oxendale GMC in Flagstaff, AZ.

GMC Pro Safety

GMC Pro Safety is a standard safety package that uses a combination of assistive functions to increase your safety when riding in the new Terrain. The GMC Pro Safety package includes:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Forward Collision Alert
  • IntelliBeam
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
  • Front Pedestrian Braking
  • Following Distance Indicator


There is an available GMC Pro Safety Plus package, which includes additional functions like Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. GMC Pro Safety Plus is available on the SLE and SLT trims and standard on all higher trims. The Denali trim includes an extra function – Front and Rear Park Assist – in its GMC Pro Safety Plus package.

Complete Airbag System

Inside the new GMC Terrain, there’s a complete airbag system that provides extra protection for your passengers in the event of a collision. This includes frontal airbags for the driver and front passenger, seat-mounted side-impact airbags for the driver and front passenger, and head-curtain airbags for front and rear outboard seating positions.

Hill Descent Control

Hill Descent Control uses antilock braking to provide smooth, controlled descent down steep paths. This system helps you maintain control of your Terrain without depressing the brake pedal.

OnStar & GMC Connected Services

The 2024 Terrain comes with OnStar and GMC Connected Services capability. With OnStar services, ​help is just one button-push away during an emergency. When facing an accident or medical crisis on the road, simply press the OnStar button to connect with an emergency advisor who will send first responders to your Terrain’s location.

StabiliTrak

StabiliTrak electronic stability control ​keeps your vehicle from flipping over during emergency maneuvers by adjusting the brakes and engine torque. This system also contains Traction Control, which applies brake pressure and reduces engine power when it detects ice or snow on the road.

Teen Driver

Having a teen behind the wheel can be a stressful time for any parent, but the Teen Driver feature offers some peace of mind. Teen Driver monitors your teen’s driving habits and alerts you to dangerous ​patterns. It also activates advanced safety features when it detects a Teen Driver key fob in use, keeping your child safer on the road.
