DRIVING AND OPERATING 267
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. SeeDefensive
Driving 0217. 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
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:

.If the steering wheel light bar flashes green, the system has detected that your head and eyes
may not be directed toward the road.
.The flashing will stop when the system detects that your head and eyes appear to be directed
toward the road.
Second Alert
.If the steering wheel light bar flashes green for too long, Super Cruise will alert the driver to
take control of steering immediately by flashing the light bar red. Also, either beeps will sound
or the Safety Alert Seat will vibrate. See “Collision/Detection Systems”underVehicle
Personalization 0130.
.Take over steering, then Super Cruise will disengage.
.To re-engage Super Cruise, press]. See "Using Super Cruise" previously in this section.

DRIVING AND OPERATING 269
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.
