Renting a car during your vacation? Safety and Health Magazine recommends you take a moment to understand the electronic features of the car before you drive off.
– Don't assume the features work and don't assume the features work as you expect.
– If you rent a newer car, it could have features that you are not familiar with, including automatic emergency braking or blind spot warnings. These useful features should make for a safer driving experience, but be sure to understand how they work before hitting the road.
