DRIVING AND OPERATING 283
Do not modify the hood, headlamps,
or fog lamps, as this may limit the
camera’s ability to detect an object.
Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the windshield
behind the rearview mirror and the
radar sensors on the front of the
vehicle can become blocked by snow,
ice, dirt, mud, or debris. These areas
need to be cleaned for ACC to operate
properly.
If ACC will not operate, regular cruise
control may be available. See
“Switching Between ACC and Regular
Cruise Control”previously in this
section. Always consider driving
conditions before using either cruise
control system.
For cleaning instructions, see
“Washing the Vehicle ”under Exterior
Care 0432.
System operation may also be limited
under snow, heavy rain, or road spray
conditions.Super Cruise
If equipped, Super Cruise can steer to
maintain lane position under certain
conditions on Super Cruise-enabled
roads that are separated from
opposing traffic.
Super Cruise can also steer to perform
a lane change under certain
conditions on Super Cruise-enabled
roads when a lane change is initiated
by the driver using the turn signal
lever. See “Super Cruise Lane Change ”
later in this section and Turn and
Lane-Change Signals 0153.
{Warning
Super Cruise can only assist to
maintain lane position, or steer to
change lanes, when driving on
compatible roads. 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.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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
roads under certain conditions:
.Cameras
.Global Positioning System (GPS)
sensing
.A high-precision map
.GPS-enhancement data downloaded
through Connected Services
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 (Advanced) 0274.
