Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects;
Cross-Traffic
{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
{Warning
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 road. Super Cruise may not
detect the markings that show your lane. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
You may not have time to react to a
vehicle in the lane next to your vehicle
while on curves in the road.
Super Cruise may hand control back to the
driver more often driving around a sharp
curve while towing a trailer.
Super Cruise may operate differently in
sharp curves. It may drift out of your lane
of travel if the curve is too sharp.
When entering a curve, Super Cruise may
not detect the lane 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.
Super Cruise may occasionally provide an
alert and/or steering that is considered
unnecessary. It could respond to lane
markings in different lanes, signs, guardrails,
and other stationary objects when entering
or exiting a curve. This is normal operation.
The vehicle does not need service.

Map Updates
Super Cruise map information must be
periodically updated at least once every
seven months to determine whether Super
Cruise is available on certain roads.
See the following website for Super Cruise
map open source compliance documentation,
including the license information:
https://oss.veoneer.com/
Data Download
If the vehicle is equipped with OnStar and
has an active service plan, additional data
may be collected through the OnStar
system. This includes information about: the
vehicle’s operation; a crash involving the
vehicle; the use of the vehicle and its
features; and, in certain situations, the
location and approximate GPS speed of the vehicle. Refer to the OnStar Terms and
Conditions and Privacy Statement on the
OnStar website.
Location Services
This setting enables or disables sharing of
vehicle location outside the vehicle for
certain purposes. Even if the Location
Services setting is disabled, vehicle location
information will continue to be shared for
emergency services and Super Cruise,
if equipped.
System Care
The camera on the steering column has a
lens cover that may become dirty over time
and affect camera performance. Clean the
lens cover with a soft cloth sprayed with
glass cleaner. Wipe the lens gently, then dry
it. Never use abrasive cloths/cleaners or
corrosive chemicals of any kind on the lens
cover.
Super Cruise uses the front radar, front
camera, and 360 degree cameras for its
operation. Clean surfaces are required for
Super Cruise operation. See
Adaptive Cruise
Control (Camera) 0256, “Surround Vision
Camera” underAssistance Systems for
Parking or Backing 0283, and Lane Keep
Assist (LKA) 0302 for care information.
Caution
The Super Cruise system is a highly
sophisticated system and should only be
serviced by technicians with the proper
training, tools, and safety instructions,

rapidly beeps. FCA also lights an amber
visual alert if following another vehicle
much too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a distance of
approximately 60 m (197 ft) and operates at
speeds above 8 km/h (5 mph). If the vehicle
has Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), it can
detect vehicles to distances of approximately
110 m (360 ft) and operates at all speeds.
SeeAdaptive Cruise Control (Camera) 0256.
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When approaching a
slower-moving or stopped vehicle ahead
too rapidly, or when following a vehicle
too closely, FCA may not provide a
warning with enough time to help avoid
a crash. It also may not provide any
warning at all. FCA does not warn of
pedestrians, animals, signs, guardrails,
bridges, construction barrels, or other
objects. Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See Defensive Driving
0 206.
FCA can be disabled. See “Collision/Detection
Systems” underVehicle Personalization
0 137.
Detecting the Vehicle Ahead
FCA warnings will not occur unless the FCA
system detects a vehicle ahead. When a
vehicle is detected, the vehicle ahead
indicator will display green. Vehicles may
not be detected on curves, highway exit
ramps, or hills, due to poor visibility; or if a
vehicle ahead is partially blocked by
pedestrians or other objects. FCA will not
detect another vehicle ahead until it is
completely in the driving lane.
{Warning
FCA does not provide a warning to help
avoid a crash, unless it detects a vehicle.
FCA may not detect a vehicle ahead if
the FCA sensor is blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice, or if the windshield is damaged.
It may also not detect a vehicle on
winding or hilly roads, or in conditions
that can limit visibility such as fog, rain,
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
or snow, or if the headlamps or
windshield are not cleaned or in proper
condition. Keep the windshield,
headlamps, and FCA sensors clean and in
good repair.
Collision Alert
With Head-Up Display
Without Head-Up Display
When your vehicle approaches another
detected vehicle too rapidly, the red FCA
display will flash on the windshield. Also,
eight rapid high-pitched beeps will sound

from the front. When this Collision Alert
occurs, the brake system may prepare for
driver braking to occur more rapidly which
can cause a brief, mild deceleration.
Continue to apply the brake pedal as
needed.
Tailgating Alert
The vehicle ahead indicator will display
amber when you are following a vehicle
ahead much too closely.
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is on the steering
wheel. Press
[to set the FCA timing to
Far, Medium, or Near. The first button press
shows the current setting on the DIC. Additional button presses will change this
setting. The chosen setting will remain until
it is changed and will affect the timing of
both the Collision Alert and the Tailgating
Alert features. The timing of both alerts will
vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the
vehicle speed, the farther away the alert will
occur. Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the alert timing.
The range of selectable alert timings may
not be appropriate for all drivers and driving
conditions.
If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), changing the FCA
timing setting automatically changes the
following gap setting (Far, Medium,
or Near).
Following Distance Indicator
The following distance to a moving vehicle
ahead in your path is indicated in following
time in seconds on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Base Level) 0128 or
Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel)
0 130. The minimum following time is
0.5 seconds away.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary alerts for
turning vehicles, vehicles in other lanes,
objects that are not vehicles, or shadows.
These alerts are normal operation and the
vehicle does not need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to operate
properly, this may correct the issue:
.Clean the outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror.
.Clean the entire front of the vehicle.
.Clean the headlamps.
Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
If equipped, AEB may help avoid or reduce
the harm caused by front-end crashes. AEB
also includes Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA).
When the system detects a vehicle ahead in
your path that is traveling in the same
direction that you may be about to crash
into, it can provide a boost to braking or
automatically brake the vehicle. This can
help avoid or lessen the severity of crashes
when driving in a forward gear. Depending
on the situation, the vehicle may
