speed message appears on the
Head-Up Display (HUD), if equipped.
Resuming a Set Speed
If cruise control is set at a desired
speed and then the brakes are applied
or
*is pressed, cruise control is
disengaged without erasing the set
speed from memory.
Once the vehicle speed reaches about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more, move the
thumbwheel up toward RES+ briefly.
The vehicle returns to the previous set
speed.
Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
If the cruise control system is already
activated:
.Move the thumbwheel up toward
RES+ until the desired speed is
reached.
.To increase vehicle speed in small
increments, briefly press RES+ to
the first detent. For each press, the
vehicle goes about 1 km/h (1 mph)
faster.
.To increase vehicle speed in larger
increments, briefly press RES+ to
the second detent. For each press,
the vehicle speed increases to the
next 5 km/h (5 mph) mark on the
speedometer.

−to the second detent. For each
press, the vehicle speed decreases to
the next 5 km/h (5 mph) mark on
the speedometer.
The cruise control system may
automatically brake to slow the
vehicle.
The speedometer reading can be
displayed in either English or metric
units. See Instrument Cluster 0109.
The increment value used depends on
the units displayed.
Passing Another Vehicle While
Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase
the vehicle speed. When you take your
foot off the pedal, the vehicle will slow
down to the previous set cruise speed.
While pressing the accelerator pedal
or shortly following the release to
override cruise, briefly moving the
thumbwheel down toward SET− will
result in cruise set to the current
vehicle speed. Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well cruise control will work on
hills depends upon the vehicle speed,
load, and the steepness of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you might
have to step on the accelerator pedal
to maintain speed. When going
downhill, the cruise control system
may automatically brake to slow the
vehicle. Also, you may have to brake
or shift to a lower gear to keep your
speed down. If the brake pedal is
applied, cruise control disengages.
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to end cruise
control:
.Step lightly on the brake pedal.
.Press*.
.Shift the transmission to
N (Neutral).
.PressJ.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased
from memory if
Jis pressed or if the
ignition is turned off.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced)
If equipped, 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
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 camera and radar sensors. See
Radio Frequency Statement 0421.
If a vehicle is detected in your path,
ACC can speed up the vehicle or apply
limited, moderate braking to maintain
the selected following gap. To
disengage ACC, apply the brake.
If ACC is controlling your vehicle
speed when the traction control
system (TCS) or StabiliTrak electronic
stability control system activates, ACC
may automatically disengage. See
Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0247. When road conditions
allow ACC to be safely used, ACC can
be turned back on.

Cadillac XT6 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15218998) -
2022 - CRC - 10/22/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING 253
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”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 0217.
{Warning
ACC will not detect or brake for
children, pedestrians, animals,
or other objects.
Do not use ACC when:
.On winding and hilly roads or
when the sensors are blocked by
snow, ice, or dirt. The system
may not detect a vehicle ahead.
Keep the entire front of the
vehicle clean.
.Visibility is poor due to rain,
snow, fog, dirt, insect residue,
or dust; when other foreign
objects obscure the camera and/
or radar; or when the vehicle in
front or oncoming traffic causes
additional environmental
obstructions, such as road spray.
ACC performance is limited
under these conditions.
.On slippery roads where fast
changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip.
.Towing a trailer
5:Press to turn the system on or off.
The indicator turns white on the
instrument cluster when ACC is
turned on.
RES+ : Press briefly to resume the
previous set speed or to increase
vehicle speed if ACC is already
activated. To increase speed by about
1 km/h (1 mph), press RES+ to the first
detent. To increase speed to the next
5 km/h (5 mph) mark on the
speedometer, press RES+ to the
second detent.
SET– :Press briefly to set the speed
and activate ACC or to decrease
vehicle speed if ACC is already
activated. To decrease speed by about

.Press and hold RES+ until the
desired set speed appears on the
display, then release it.
.To increase vehicle speed in small
increments, press RES+ to the first
detent. For each press, the vehicle
goes 1 km/h or (1 mph) faster.
.To increase vehicle speed in larger
increments, press RES+ to the
second detent. For each press, the
vehicle speed increases to the next
5 km/h (5 mph) mark on the
speedometer.
The set speed can also be increased
while the vehicle is stopped.
.If stopped with the brake applied,
press RES+ until the desired set
speed is displayed.
.If ACC is holding the vehicle at a
stop and there is another vehicle
directly ahead, pressing RES+ will
increase the set speed.
.Pressing RES+ when there is no
longer a vehicle ahead or the vehicle
ahead is pulling away and the brake
is not applied will cause the ACC to
resume.When it is determined that there is no
vehicle ahead, or the vehicle ahead is
beyond the select following gap, then
the vehicle speed will increase to the
set speed.
Reducing Speed While ACC is at a
Set Speed
If ACC is already activated, do one of
the following:
.Use the brake to get to the desired
lower speed. Release the brake and
press SET–. The vehicle will now
cruise at the lower speed.
.Press and hold SET–
until the
desired lower speed is displayed,
then release it.
.To decrease the vehicle speed in
smaller increments, press SET− to
the first detent. For each press, the
vehicle goes 1 km/h (1 mph) slower.
.To decrease speed in larger
increments, press SET− to the
second detent. For each press, the
vehicle speed decreases to the next
5 km/h (5 mph) mark on the
speedometer.
The set speed can also be decreased
while the vehicle is stopped.
.If stopped with the brake applied,
press or hold SET− until the desired
set speed is displayed.
Selecting the Follow Distance Gap
When a slower moving vehicle is
detected ahead within the selected
following gap, ACC will adjust the
vehicle's speed and attempt to
maintain the follow distance gap
selected.
Press
[on the steering wheel to
adjust the following gap. Each press
cycles the gap button through three
settings: Far, Medium, or Near.
When pressed, the current gap setting
displays briefly on the instrument
cluster and HUD (if equipped).
Subsequent presses cycle the gap
button through three settings: Far,
Medium, or Near. The gap setting will
be maintained until it is changed.
Since each gap setting corresponds to
a following time (Far, Medium,
or Near), the following distance will
vary based on vehicle speed. The
faster the vehicle speed, the further
back your vehicle will follow a vehicle
detected ahead. Consider traffic and

DRIVING AND OPERATING 267
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. SeeDefensive
Driving 0217. 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:
