Safety Alert Seat

The Safety Alert Seat available on many GM models provides a vibration, or haptic warning, in the driver’s seat cushion to alert the driver of the direction of potential hazards. The seat uses two haptic signal motors in the left and right side of the driver’s seat cushion to provide the vibration warning. Depending on the alert, either the left, right, or both motors will activate. The driver can select to receive the haptic warning (vibration) or audible alerts (beeps). The setting to turn the Safety Alert Seat on/off can be found in the Settings menu using the infotainment controls. Go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.
