Super Cruise Lane Change
Super Cruise can steer to perform a
single lane change under certain
conditions when requested by the
driver.
To request a lane change:1. Verify the lane next to your vehicle is clear and conditions are safe to
make a lane change.
2. Use the turn signal lever to activate the turn signal in the direction of
the desired lane change.
3. Return the turn signal lever to the neutral position after the lane
change. See Turn and Lane-Change
Signals 0135.
If Super Cruise detects that traffic
is clear, Super Cruise will steer the
vehicle to perform the lane change.
A message appears on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) during
the lane change to provide more
information on the status of the
lane change.
To cancel a lane change, return the
turn signal lever to the neutral
position or move the turn signal lever. The Super Cruise Lane Change feature
can be enabled or disabled through
the vehicle personalization menu. See
“Super Cruise Lane Change
”under
Vehicle Personalization 0123.
{Warning
Super Cruise Lane Change may not
detect a vehicle in an adjacent lane.
Always supervise the driving task
and monitor traffic conditions when
using the Super Cruise Lane Change
feature. Only request a lane change
when traffic conditions are safe for
a lane change, and always be ready
to manually steer the vehicle. See
“Steering Manually and Changing
Lanes” listed previously in this
section.
Take Over Alert
{Warning
Super Cruise will not maintain the
vehicle’s speed while the steering
wheel light bar is flashing red.
If the steering wheel light bar (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
flashes red, immediately resume
manual steering to prevent serious
injury or death. If you do not
resume manual steering, the vehicle
will begin to slow in the same lane
and eventually come to a complete
stop on the road.
Any time the steering wheel light bar
flashes red, resume manual steering
immediately. The instrument cluster
light
^, will also turn red and a
message will display in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). In addition,
beeps will sound, or the Safety Alert
Seat will vibrate. See “Collision/
Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0123. After you begin
steering manually, then Super Cruise
will disengage.
The red flashing steering wheel light
bar could occur under any of the
following conditions:
.Lane markings are poor, or visibility
is limited.

266 DRIVING AND OPERATING
.The Driver Attention System (DAS)
does not detect that the driver's
head and eyes are directed toward
the road.
.ACC is canceled.
.The vehicle is on a tight curve,
or the lanes are too wide, or the
vehicle goes into a curve too fast.
.The compatible road ends.
.The vehicle is approaching an
intersection controlled by a traffic
light, stop sign, or other traffic
control device.
.A Super Cruise system fault occurs.
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, (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
or accelerating. SeeDefensive
Driving 0210. 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
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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:

detect objects and can also cause false
detections. Keep the sensors clean of
mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush; and
clean sensors after a car wash in
freezing temperatures.
{Warning
The Park Assist System is no
substitute for careful and attentive
driving. The Park Assist system
does not detect children,
pedestrians, bicyclists, animals,
or objects located below the
bumper or that are too close or too
far from the vehicle. It is not
available at speeds greater than
11 km/h (7 mph). To prevent injury,
death, or vehicle damage, even with
Park Assist, always check the area
around the vehicle and check all
mirrors before moving forward or
backing.
How the System Works
The instrument cluster may have a
Park Assist display with bars that
show“distance to object,” driving
direction, and object location
information for the Park Assist
system. As the object gets closer, more
bars light up and the bars change
color from yellow to amber to red.
When an object is very close to the
vehicle rear (<0.6 m (2 ft), five beeps
will sound from the rear followed by a
continuous beep from the rear,
or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat
will pulse five times. When an object
is very close to the vehicle front
(<0.3 m (1 ft), a continuous beep will
sound from the front, or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse five
times. Beeps for FPA are higher
pitched than for RPA.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The following messages may be
displayed on the DIC:
SERVICE PARKING ASSIST :
If this
message occurs, check the following
conditions:
.The sensors are not clean. Keep the
vehicle's rear bumper free of mud,
dirt, snow, ice, and slush. For
cleaning instructions, see Exterior
Care 0372.
.The Park Assist sensors are covered
by frost or ice. Frost or ice can form
around and behind the sensors and
may not always be seen; this can
occur after washing the vehicle in
cold weather. The message may not
clear until the frost or ice has
melted.
If the above conditions do not exist,
take the vehicle to your dealer to
repair the system.

282 DRIVING AND OPERATING
{Warning
RAB may not avoid many types of
backing crashes. Do not wait for the
automatic braking to apply. This
system is not designed to replace
driver braking and only works in
R (Reverse) when an object is
detected directly behind the vehicle.
It may not brake or stop in time to
avoid a crash. It will not brake for
objects when the vehicle is moving
at very low speeds. It does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects below
the bumper or that are too close or
too far from the vehicle. To prevent
injury, death, or vehicle damage,
even with RAB, always check the
area around the vehicle before and
while backing.
If the brake pedal is not pressed soon
after the stop, the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB) may be set. When it is
safe, press the accelerator pedal firmly
at any time to override RAB.
{Warning
There may be instances where
unexpected or undesired automatic
braking occurs. If this happens,
either press the brake pedal or
firmly press the accelerator pedal to
release the brakes from the RAB
system. Before releasing the brakes,
check the RVC and check the area
around the vehicle to make sure it
is safe to proceed.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If equipped, RCTA displays a red
warning triangle with a left or right
pointing arrow to warn of traffic
coming from the left or right. This
system detects objects coming from
up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left or
right side of the vehicle. When an
object is detected, either three beeps
sound from the left or right or three
Safety Alert Seat pulses occur on the
left or right side, depending on the
direction of the detected vehicle. Use caution while backing up when
towing a trailer, as the RCTA
detection zones that extend out from
the back of the vehicle do not move
further back when a trailer is towed.
See
Radio Frequency Statement 0410.
Turning the Features On or Off
TouchXon the center stack to turn
on or off the Front and Rear Park
Assist, Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB), and the Backing Warning
System at the same time. The
indicator light next to the button
comes on when the features are on
and turns off when the features have
been disabled.
Turn off Park Assist, RCTA, and RAB
when towing a trailer.
To turn the RPA symbols or guidance
lines (on some models) on or off, see
“Rear Camera Park Assist Symbols”
under Vehicle Personalization 0123.
RCTA can also be turned on or off
through vehicle personalization. See
