Super Cruise is:
.Not a self-driving system
.Not a crash avoidance or warning
system
.Not a substitute for proper
supervision of the driving task.
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) 0275.
An active Connected Service plan that
includes Super Cruise Services is
required to use Super Cruise.
{Warning
Super Cruise does not perform all
aspects of driving, nor does it do
everything a driver can do. Super
Cruise only steers to maintain
vehicle position in the current lane
or, under some circumstances, to
change lanes. Super Cruise can only
be used with Adaptive Cruise
Control.
Super Cruise does:
.Not prevent crashes or warn of
possible crashes.
.Not steer to avoid stopped or
slow-moving vehicles,
cross-traffic, construction
barriers or cones, motorcycles,
children, pedestrians, animals,
or other objects on the road. (Continued)

.Press]. ACC will set the speed to
the current vehicle speed or resume
to the higher previously stored ACC
set speed.
When engaged and not steering the
vehicle, the steering wheel light bar
flashes blue, and
^will be blue. The
driver is in control of steering and
Super Cruise is not steering the
vehicle.
When the vehicle is positioned in the
center of the lane, the steering wheel
light bar and
^display will turn
green, indicating Super Cruise is
steering the vehicle.
When Super Cruise controls the
steering, traffic and other conditions
and laws permit, and it is safe to do
so, your hands can be taken off the
steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the road and
the operation of the vehicle. Always
monitor and be attentive of surrounding traffic, including vehicles
that may cross the road in front of
your vehicle.
Super Cruise steering can be
overridden with manual steering at
any time. When Super Cruise is
engaged, always be prepared to take
immediate action
—including
steering, accelerating, and braking
quickly, if necessary.
Super Cruise, when engaged, will
enable Forward Collision System to
alert and brake.
Steering Manually and Changing
Lanes
The vehicle can always be manually
steered, even with Super Cruise
engaged; for example, when manually
changing lanes.
When the steering wheel is moved
manually, the steering wheel light bar
flashes blue and
^on the
instrument cluster turns blue to
indicate Super Cruise is not steering
the vehicle. When ready to allow Super Cruise to
resume steering again, position the
vehicle in the center of the lane, hold
the steering wheel until the steering
wheel light bar turns green, and then
release the steering wheel when it is
safe to do so.
{Warning
To help prevent crashes before
making a lane change:
.Always check mirrors.
.Glance over your shoulder.
.Use the turn signals.
Super Cruise Lane Change
Super Cruise can steer to perform a
single lane change under certain
conditions when requested by the
driver or initiated by the Super Cruise
System.
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 activatethe 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 0155.
Super Cruise System may initiate a
single lane change when enabled
through Vehicle Personalization under
following conditions:
.The Super Cruise System may
initiate a lane change to the left to
pass a slower moving vehicle ahead
and a subsequent lane change to
right to return to your original lane.
.Super Cruise System may initiate a
lane change to left or right when
current lane is ending ahead.
.To cancel a Super Cruise lane
change, return the turn signal lever
to the neutral position or move the
turn signal lever.
.Super Cruise steering can be
overridden with manual steering at
any time to cancel a Super Cruise
lane change. 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.
The Super Cruise Lane Change feature
can be enabled or disabled through
the vehicle personalization menu. See
“Super Cruise Lane Change
”under
Vehicle Personalization 0140.
{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
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.
To begin steering manually, hold the
steering wheel firmly (with both
hands) using the highlighted regions
as shown in the picture below.

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 0140. 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.
.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.
.Super Cruise is unable to complete
the lane change maneuver.
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. See
Defensive
Driving 0232. 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.

DRIVING AND OPERATING 293
{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:

DRIVING AND OPERATING 321
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 does
not change the following gap setting
(Far, Medium, or Near). Adjustments
to the following gap setting can be
made while ACC is engaged.
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)
The AEB system 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 automatically brake
moderately or hard. This Automatic
Emergency Braking can only occur if a
vehicle is detected. This is shown by
the FCA vehicle ahead indicator being
lit. See
Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System 0319.
The system works when driving in a
forward gear between 8 km/h (5 mph)
and 80 km/h (50 mph), or on vehicles
with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
above 4 km/h (2 mph). It can detect
vehicles up to approximately 60 m
(197 ft).
{Warning
AEB is an emergency crash
preparation feature and is not
designed to avoid crashes. Do not
rely on AEB to brake the vehicle.
AEB will not brake outside of its
operating speed range and only
responds to detected vehicles. (Continued)

330 DRIVING AND OPERATING
LCA/ESBZA may not always alert the
driver to vehicles in the side blind
zone, especially in wet conditions. The
system does not need to be serviced.
The system may light up due to
guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs, and
other non-moving objects. This is
normal system operation; the vehicle
does not need service.
LCA/ESBZA may not operate when the
LCA/ESBZA sensors in the left or right
corners of the rear bumper are
covered with mud, dirt, snow, ice,
or slush, or in heavy rainstorms. For
cleaning instructions, see "Washing
the Vehicle" underExterior Care0444.
If the DIC displays the system
unavailable message after cleaning
both sides of the vehicle toward the
rear corners of the vehicle, see your
dealer.
If the DIC displays the system
unavailable message after cleaning
both sides of the vehicle toward the
rear corners of the vehicle, see your
dealer If the LCA/ESBZA displays do not
light up when vehicles are in the blind
zone and the system is clean, the
system may need service. Take the
vehicle to your dealer.
When ESBZA is disabled for any
reason other than the driver turning it
off, the Extended Side Blind Zone
Alert On option will not be available
on the personalization menu.
Driving with a Trailer
Although this system is intended to
help drivers avoid lane change
crashes, it does not replace driver
vision and therefore should be
considered a lane change aid. Even
with the ESBZA system, the driver
must check carefully for objects
outside of the reporting zone (e.g., a
fast approaching vehicle) or vehicle
along the side of the trailer before
changing lanes.
Use caution while changing lanes
when towing a trailer.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help avoid
crashes due to unintentional lane
departures. This system uses a camera
to detect lane markings. The LKA may
be ready to assist at speeds between
50 km/h (31 mph) and 180 km/h
(112 mph). LKA may assist by gently
turning the steering wheel if the
vehicle approaches a detected lane
marking. It may also provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert if the
vehicle crosses a detected lane
marking. This system is not intended
to keep the vehicle centered in the
lane. LKA will not assist and alert if
the turn signal is active in the
direction of lane departure, or if it
detects that you are accelerating,
braking or actively steering. LKA can
be overridden by turning the steering
wheel. If the system detects you are
steering intentionally across a lane
marker, the LDW will not be given. Do
not expect the LDW to occur when
you are intentionally crossing a lane
marker.
