If the vehicle is brought to a
complete stop while the
Regen on Demand paddle is
applied, the vehicle will not
creep forward when the
paddle is released. The
accelerator pedal must be
pressed to move the vehicle
forward.
If the vehicle is on a steep
grade, the brake pedal must
be used to hold the vehicle.
When available regenerative
braking power is limited, the
hydraulic brakes may be
applied to make up the
difference.
Cruise control will turn off and
the brake lamps may come on
when this feature is activated.
Avoid using Regen on Demand
under slippery road conditions.
Use the brake pedal as the
primary braking device.Ride Control
Systems
Traction Control/
Electronic Stability
Control
System Operation
The vehicle has a Traction
Control System (TCS) and
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC). These systems
help limit wheel spin and assist
the driver in maintaining
control, especially on slippery
road conditions.
TCS activates if it senses any
of the drive wheels are
spinning or beginning to lose
traction. When this happens,
TCS applies the brakes to the
spinning wheels and reduces
vehicle power to limit
wheel spin.
StabiliTrak/ESC activates
when the vehicle senses a
difference between the
intended path and thedirection the vehicle is actually
traveling. StabiliTrak/ESC
selectively applies braking
pressure to one or more of
the vehicle wheel brakes to
assist the driver in keeping the
vehicle on the intended path.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is
also on automatically when the
vehicle is started. See Trailer
Sway Control (TSC)
0304.
If cruise control is being used
and traction control or
StabiliTrak/ESC begins to limit
wheel spin, cruise control will
disengage. Cruise control may
be turned back on when road
conditions allow.
Both systems come on
automatically when the vehicle
is started and begins to move.
The systems may be heard or
felt while they are operating
or while performing diagnostic
checks. This is normal and
does not mean there is a
problem with the vehicle.

Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise
Control (Advanced)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
allows the cruise control set
speed and following gap to be
selected. Read this entire
section before using this
system. The following gap is
the following time (or distance)
between your vehicle and a
vehicle detected directly
ahead in your path, moving in
the same direction. If no
vehicle is detected in your
path, ACC works like regular
cruise control. ACC uses a
camera and radar sensor(s) to
detect other vehicles. See
Radio Frequency Statement
0395.
If a vehicle is detected in your
path, ACC can apply
acceleration or limited,
moderate braking to maintain
the selected following gap. To
disengage ACC, apply the
brake. If ACC is controlling the vehicle speed when the
Traction Control System (TCS)
or StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system
activates, ACC may
automatically disengage. See
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control
0221. When
road conditions allow ACC to
be safely used, ACC can be
turned back on.
Disabling the TCS or
StabiliTrak/ESC system will
disengage and prevent
engagement of ACC.
ACC can reduce the need for
you to frequently brake and
accelerate, especially when
used on expressways,
freeways, and interstate
highways. When used on other
roads, you may need to take
over the control of braking or
acceleration more often.
{Warning
ACC has limited braking
ability and may not have
time to slow the vehicle
down enough to avoid a
collision with another vehicle
you are following. This can
occur when vehicles
suddenly slow or stop
ahead, or enter your lane.
Also see “Alerting the
Driver” later in this section.
Complete attention is
always required while driving
and you should be ready to
take action and apply the
brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0196.
{Warning
ACC will not detect or brake
for children, pedestrians,
animals, or other objects.

are not applied manually.
You and others could be
seriously injured or killed.
Setting Adaptive Cruise
Control
If
Jis on when not in use, it
could get pressed and go into
ACC when not desired. Keep
Joff when cruise is not
being used.
Select the set speed desired
for ACC. This is the vehicle
speed when no vehicle is
detected in your path.
While the vehicle is moving,
ACC will not set at a speed
below a minimum speed,
although it can be resumed.
If equipped with Super Cruise,
this minimum speed is 5 km/h
(3 mph), otherwise, it is
25 km/h (15 mph). The minimum
allowable set speed is 25 km/h
(15 mph).

vehicle or performing a lane
change. Always be ready to
manually accelerate or brake
to complete the pass or lane
change.
Stationary or Very
Slow-Moving Objects
{Warning
ACC may not detect and
react to stopped or
slow-moving vehicles ahead
of you. For example, the
system may not brake for a
vehicle it has never detected
moving. This can occur in
stop-and-go traffic or when
a vehicle suddenly appears
due to a vehicle ahead
changing lanes. Your vehicle
may not stop and could
cause a crash. Use caution
when using ACC. Your (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
complete attention is always
required while driving and
you should be ready to take
action and apply the brakes.
Irregular Objects
Affecting ACC
ACC may have difficulty
detecting the following
objects:
.Vehicles with cargo
extending from the back end.
.Non-standard shaped
vehicles, such as vehicle
transport, vehicles with a
side car fitted, or horse
carriages.
.Objects that are close to the
front of your vehicle.
ACC Automatically
Disengages
ACC may automatically
disengage and the driver will
need to manually apply the
brakes to slow the vehicle if:
.The sensors are blocked.
.The Traction Control System
(TCS) or StabiliTrak/ESC
system has activated or
been disabled.
.There is a fault in the
system.
.The radar falsely reports
blockage when driving in a
desert or remote area with
no other vehicles or
roadside objects.
.A DIC message may display
to indicate that ACC is
temporarily unavailable.
The ACC indicator will turn
white when ACC is no longer
active.
In some cases, when ACC is
temporarily unavailable,
regular cruise control may be
used. See “Switching Between
ACC and Regular Cruise
Control” previously in this
section. Always consider
driving conditions before using
either cruise control system.

braking, or accelerating. See
Defensive Driving.
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 OnStar Super Cruise works with
