Equipped with above-class safety and driver-assist technologies, the Coolray aims to redefine what safe, stylish, and powerful driving looks like during the country’s wettest months, Geely Philippines said in a press release.
Stability and control in slippery conditions
Driving through unpredictable monsoon roads requires a vehicle that keeps its grip. The Coolray’s Electronic Stability Control (ESC) automatically applies braking to individual wheels to help prevent skidding on slippery or water-logged roads.
Complementing this is the Traction Control System (TCS), which minimizes wheel spin during acceleration, ensuring stability and driver control even on soaked surfaces.
For sudden stops on slick roads, the Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) system steps in by providing additional braking force—an essential feature when maintaining safe distance during reduced visibility or sudden traffic shifts.
Visibility that works overtime
Low visibility often causes accidents during heavy downpours. The Coolray’s 540° HD Panoramic System and Intelligent 4-way HD DVR* give drivers a comprehensive view of their surroundings, especially when maneuvering in tight or flooded spaces.
The DVR also automatically records road situations, offering valuable documentation during weather-related incidents.
Further boosting safety, Coolray’s Blind Spot Detection (BSD)* alerts the driver to vehicles hidden from view, while its Front Induction Type Wiper* adjusts wiper speed based on rainfall intensity—maintaining clarity without distracting manual adjustments.
Built for protection and flood readiness
The Coolray’s High-Strength Energy-Absorbing Body enhances passenger protection in crashes, while its 180mm ground clearance allows safer navigation through gutter-deep floods—an advantage during peak monsoon months.
Metro Manila Accident Reporting and Analysis System (MMARAS) data show that 15–20 percent of NCR’s 57,179 recorded road accidents in 2024 occurred from June to October, with slippery roads and poor visibility among the major causes.
With the Coolray’s advanced safety suite, drivers are better equipped to stay in control—rain or shine, the company said. — Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
