DRIVING AND OPERATING 295
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. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Super Cruise may not detect your
lane on curves in the road. Super
Cruise may not detect the markings
that show your lane. 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 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.

during calibration. Steering should
be maintained as straight as
possible, excessive steering during
calibration may extend
