If you thought the technology updates were impressive, just wait until you see what the Escalade has in terms of driver-assist technologies. The standard Safety Alert Seat1 will work with your various safety features by using left or right seat vibration to notify you where a potential collision is about to take place. This way, you'll be able to quickly perform an evasive maneuver to avoid an impact. Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking1 comes as an available upgrade, and works in unison with Forward Collision Alert1 to help you avoid front-end accidents. It accomplishes this by using intuitive radars and cameras to supply hard emergency stopping power to give you that extra muscle you need. For tight parking spaces, available Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist1 will help you find potential places for parallel maneuvers and park for you!
