220 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Super Cruise
If equipped, Super Cruise can steer to
maintain lane position under certain
conditions on compatible highways
that are separated from opposing
traffic.
{Warning
Super Cruise can only assist to
maintain lane position when driving
on compatible highways. You must
supervise the driving task and
monitor the freeway conditions.
You may need to respond to traffic
events by steering, braking,
or accelerating. SeeDefensive
Driving 0173.
Super Cruise is: . Not a self-driving system.
. Not a crash avoidance or
warning system.
. Not a substitute for proper
supervision of the
driving task. Super Cruise uses the following to
detect the current lane position and
lane markings ahead on compatible
highways under certain conditions:
.
Cameras
. Global Positioning System (GPS)
sensing
. A high-precision map
. GPS-enhancement data
downloaded through OnStar
Super Cruise works with Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), which controls
acceleration and braking while Super
Cruise is enabled and operating.
Review and understand both this
section and the ACC section before
using Super Cruise. See Adaptive
Cruise Control 0211.
An active OnStar or connected service
plan that includes Emergency Services
is required to use Super Cruise.
{Warning
Super Cruise does not perform all
aspects of driving, nor does it do
everything a driver can do. Super
Cruise only steers to maintain lane
position. Super Cruise can only be
used with Adaptive Cruise Control.
Super Cruise does: . Not prevent crashes or warn
of possible crashes.
. Not steer to avoid stopped or
slow-moving vehicles,
construction barriers or
cones, motorcycles, children,
pedestrians, animals, or other
objects on the freeway.
. Not steer in response to
vehicles or objects next to
your vehicle, including
vehicles attempting to enter
your lane.
. Not change lanes.
. Not steer to merge onto or to
exit freeways.

Using Super Cruise
{Warning
To prevent serious injury or death:. Always check that Super
Cruise is available
^before
pressing
].
. Only remove your hands from
the steering wheel if the
steering wheel light bar,
^,
and
\are green. Super
Cruise may not begin steering
immediately, even when
Super Cruise is available
and
]has been pressed.
To engage:
1. Press
Jto turn on ACC. Make
sure the white
\indicator
displays in the instrument
cluster. See Adaptive Cruise
Control 0211.
2. Center the vehicle in the lane.
3. When Super Cruise is available, the white
^will display in the
instrument cluster.
4. Press
]to engage both Super
Cruise and ACC. ACC will set the speed at the
current vehicle speed. If ACC has
a previously set speed, it may
resume at that speed.
5. When engaged, the steering wheel light bar,
^, and\
will display green.
When Super Cruise is engaged, when
traffic and other conditions and laws
permit, and when it is safe to do so,
your hands can be taken off the
steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the road and
the operation of the vehicle. Always
monitor and be attentive of
surrounding traffic.
Super Cruise steering can be
overridden with manual steering at
any time. When Super Cruise is
engaged, always be prepared to take
immediate action —including
steering, accelerating, and braking
quickly, if necessary.

.A Super Cruise system fault
occurs.
Attention to the Road
{Warning
Super Cruise is a driver assistance
system and cannot accurately
detect or predict all situations.
Super Cruise is not a crash
avoidance system. To prevent
serious injury or death, you must
supervise the driving task and
monitor the road conditions. You
may need to respond to traffic
events by steering, braking,
or accelerating. See Defensive
Driving 0173. Super Cruise also
cannot determine whether you are
awake, asleep, impaired, or properly
focused on safe driving. The vehicle
could crash into other vehicles,
drive out of the lane, or drive off
the road. Complete attention is
always required while driving, even
while using Super Cruise. Be
prepared to take over steering or
apply the brakes at any time.
{Warning
To prevent serious injury or death,
be alert and pay special attention
when passing highway exits,
entrances, and crossings with Super
Cruise, and be ready to take control
of the vehicle when necessary.
Changes in lane markings around
exits and entrances can
momentarily cause Super Cruise to
not detect the correct lane. If this
occurs, Super Cruise may attempt
steering inputs to bring the vehicle
back into the correct lane and, in
rare circumstances, could
over-correct and cause the vehicle
to momentarily cross into a lane
next to your vehicle unless you
manually steer to maintain your
lane position. The Driver Attention System (DAS) on
the steering column continually
monitors driver head and eye position
to estimate driver attention to the
road. The camera does not record or
share pictures, audio, or video.
Sunglasses, hats, or other types of
clothing that change the shape of the
head may interfere with camera
performance. To improve camera
performance, raise or lower the
steering wheel, or change the seat
position.

Pay close attention to the road ahead to avoid these three increasing alerts:First Alert .
If the steering wheel light bar flashes green, the system has detected that your head and eyes
may not be directed toward the road.
. The flashing will stop when the system detects that your head and eyes appear to be directed
toward the road.
Second Alert .
If the steering wheel light bar flashes green for too long, Super Cruise will alert the driver to
take control of steering immediately by flashing the light bar red. Also, either beeps will sound
or the Safety Alert Seat will vibrate. See “Collision/Detection Systems”underVehicle
Personalization 0140.
. Take over steering, then Super Cruise will disengage.
. To re-engage Super Cruise, press
]. See "Using Super Cruise" previously in this section.
Third Alert .
If the steering wheel light bar flashes red for too long, a voice command will tell you to take
control of the vehicle.
. Take control of the steering immediately; ACC and Super Cruise will disengage.
. A DIC message will indicate that Super Cruise is locked out. Super Cruise cannot be re-engaged
until the next ignition cycle.
. Continued failure to take over steering will cause the vehicle to brake to a stop and OnStar will
be called. The brake lamps and hazard warning flashers will come on.
. Take control of the vehicle and continue driving.

that enters your lane, or may not
brake fast enough to avoid a crash.
You must manually brake and steer
the vehicle.Intersections; Vehicles Crossing the
Road Ahead
