{Warning
Super Cruise is not a crash
avoidance system and will
not steer or brake to avoid a
crash. Super Cruise does
not steer to prevent a crash
with stopped or slow-moving
vehicles. You must supervise
the driving task and may
need to steer and brake to
prevent a crash, especially in
stop-and-go traffic or when
a vehicle suddenly enters
your lane. Always pay
attention when using Super
Cruise. Failure to do so
could result in a crash
involving serious injury or
death.Curves in the Road

The vehicle could drift out of
your lane of travel. To
prevent crashes, always be
ready to manually steer.
Super Cruise may not detect
your lane on curves in the

have time to react to a
vehicle in the lane next to
your vehicle while on curves

It may drift out of your lane of
travel if the curve is too sharp.

markings and may not adjust
the steering enough to stay in
your lane of travel. When this
happens, you will need to
steer the vehicle.
Super Cruise may detect
other lane markings that are
not in your lane and may or
may not steer appropriately to
maintain your lane.
