When it comes to safety on the road, Bentley continues to be a world leader with the high-tech features that it equips on its cars. If you drive a Bentley, you can drive comfortably, knowing that your car is always ready in case of the worst. Nonetheless, it is important to have a full understanding of your Bentley’s safety features before getting behind the wheel and driving it out of the Bentley dealership.
1. Advanced Traffic Sign Recognition
Using computed cloud data from other Bentley vehicles on the road around you, your Bentley will conveniently provide you with information right on the dashboard about upcoming important signage (or signs you may have missed) and speed recommendations.
While you should still keep your eyes on the road, if you do happen to space out for a minute on a long drive, your Bentley will do its best to prevent you from making a dangerous mistake like driving straight through an intersection or not slowing down when entering a town.
2. Forward Collision Warning
If you accidentally find yourself dozing off behind the wheel for a second, you could be in danger not only if you miss an important road sign but also if you miss the movements of a car in front of you. And this is where Bentley’s Forward Collision Warning steps in.
The system automatically tracks the movement of any car in front of you, and, in the event of a sudden reduction in speed, flashes an alert on the dashboard that you should brake. If you fail to slow down, the automatic braking system is activated.
3. Airbags All-Around
All cars sold in the US today must have airbags, but Bentley takes it to a level way beyond what’s required. Each front airbag is outfitted with dual-stage functionality, which allows the airbags to only partially inflate in the event of a soft accident. This reduces the risk of an airbag-related injury after a minor crash.
In addition to the front airbags, Bentleys also add side airbags to the front and rear seats to keep all passengers safe in the event of side collisions.
4. Infrared Camera System
Driving down dark country roads at night can be dangerous, even with your headlights and fog lights turned on maximum power.
Bentley’s answer to this is a high-tech infrared camera system, which displays a high-resolution image of what’s ahead of you on a special dashboard monitor. The infrared technology picks up and highlights heat, so you can’t miss an oncoming deer running across the road.
If you’re looking for a car to keep you safe on the road in all conditions and these four features haven’t convinced you that Bentley will do the job, we don’t know what will.
