Super Cruise can also steer to
perform a lane change under
certain conditions on Super
Cruise-enabled roads. A lane
change can be initiated by the
driver using the turn signal
lever.
The Super Cruise System may
initiate a lane change
maneuver in following
scenarios:
.To pass slower traffic
.When the current lane is
ending ahead
.To return to the initial lane
See “Super Cruise Lane
Change” later in this section
and Turn and Lane-Change

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
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)
0225.
