{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.

this message is shown on the display.
This can occur under the following
conditions:
.The driver has disabled the system.
.An object is currently blocking the

.Other conditions, such as vibrations
from a jackhammer or the
compression of air brakes on a very
large truck, are affecting system
performance.
Automatic Parking
Assist (APA)
If equipped, under certain conditions
Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist
(APA) can use sensors based on sonar
technology along the vehicle’s front,
rear and sides to detect a parking spot
and automatically park the vehicle.The vehicle will automatically
maneuver into a detected spot moving
at or near idle speed. It does this by
automatically steering, braking,
accelerating, and gear shifting. The
driver must always be prepared to
apply braking if necessary. A display
and beeps help to guide the parking
maneuvers.
{Warning
APA may not always detect objects
in the parking space, objects that
are not rigid (e.g. shrubs and
chain-link fences), objects below the
bumper, objects high off the ground
(e.g. flatbed trucks), hanging
objects, objects below ground level
(e.g. large potholes), or moving
objects (e.g. pedestrians, cyclists,
vehicles). Always verify that the
parking space is appropriate for
parking a vehicle. APA may not
respond to changes in the parking
space, such as movement of an
adjacent vehicle, or a person or
object entering the parking space.
APA does not detect or avoid traffic
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
that is behind or alongside of the
vehicle. Always be prepared to stop
the vehicle during the parking
maneuver.
How to Activate Automatic Parking
To activate APA, press
Oon the
Home Page of the infotainment
display for the system to begin
searching for a parking space while
driving forward at no greater than
30 km/h (18 mph). By default, APA
searches for parallel parking spaces to
the right of the vehicle up to the
sensors ’range of 1.5 m (5 ft). To
search for a parking space to the left,
turn on the left turn signal or,
if available, change the side selection
in the infotainment display. To switch
the parking mode between parallel
and perpendicular press and hold
O
while searching for a valid parking
spot or, if available, change the
parking mode in the infotainment
display.

DRIVING AND OPERATING 315
APA cannot park in all empty parking
spots. The parking spot must:
.Be sufficiently large to fit the
vehicle comfortably.
.Have an adjacent vehicle, wall,
or pillar for the system to align to.
After completely passing an eligible
parking spot, a beep sounds and a red
stop symbol is displayed in the driver
information center. Generally, APA
selects the nearest empty parking spot
behind the vehicle, but under some
conditions may select a space that is
further back. Slow down and bring the
vehicle to a complete stop to begin.
Follow the displayed instructions.
When instructed to drive in reverse,
shift to R (Reverse) while holding the
brakes. The steering wheel will vibrate
briefly as a reminder to remove handsfrom the steering wheel. Release the
brakes slowly when the vibration
stops to begin automatic parking. As
the vehicle automatically steers,
brakes, accelerates, and shifts gears
into the parking spot, check
surroundings. Be prepared to stop to
avoid vehicles, pedestrians, or objects.
A progress arrow displays the status
of the parking maneuver. Once
automatic parking is finished and the
vehicle has come to a full stop, FINAL
POSITION - PRESS BRAKES message
will be displayed. Press and hold the
brakes, and APA will beep and display
a PARKING COMPLETE message. Shift
the vehicle to P (Park) and apply the
parking brake.
How to Activate Automatic Parallel
Spot Unparking Assist
To activate parallel spot unparking
assist, press the soft-touch button or
hard switch
Oafter turning on the
vehicle while leaving it in P (Park) and
the parking brake is off. If the system
is able to determine a path out of the
parking spot, a screen will be
displayed for unparking options.
Similar to automatic parking, follow
the displayed instructions and check
surroundings as the vehicle unparks.
Once automatic unparking is finished
and the vehicle has come to a full
stop, FINAL POSITION - PRESS
BRAKES message will be displayed.
Press and hold the brakes, and APA
will beep and display a TAKE
CONTROL message. The vehicle is
now positioned such that the path to
exit the parking spot is free of
obstructions. Shift into D (Drive) to
start driving away.
