316 Driving and Operating
Do not modify the hood,
headlamps, or fog lamps, as
this may limit the camera’s
ability to detect an object.
Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the
windshield behind the
rearview mirror and the radar
sensors on the front of the
vehicle can become blocked by
snow, ice, dirt, or mud. These
areas need to be cleaned for
ACC to operate properly.
If ACC will not operate, regular
Cruise Control may be
available. See“Switching
Between ACC and Regular
Cruise Control” previously in
this section. Always consider
driving conditions before using
either cruise control system.
For cleaning instructions, see
“Washing the Vehicle” under
Exterior Care 0455.Super Cruise
If equipped, Super Cruise can
steer to maintain lane position
under certain conditions on
Super Cruise-enabled roads
that are separated from
opposing traffic.
Super Cruise can also steer to
perform a lane change under
certain conditions on Super
Cruise-enabled roads.
A lane change can be initiated
by the driver using the turn
signal lever. If equipped with
Automatic Lane Change, the
Super Cruise System may
initiate a lane change
maneuver in the following
scenarios:
.To pass slower traffic
.When the current lane is
ending ahead
.To return to the initial lane See
“Super Cruise Lane
Change” later in this section
and Turn and Lane-Change
Signals 0149.
{Warning
Super Cruise can only assist
to maintain lane position,
or steer to change lanes,
when driving on compatible
roads. 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.
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.

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 (Continued)

Warning (Continued)
the road conditions. You
may need to respond to
traffic events by steering,
braking, or accelerating. See
Defensive Driving0235.
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:

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.Other Vehicles Entering
Your Lane
Super Cruise may not detect a
vehicle that enters your lane,
or may not brake fast enough
to avoid a crash. You must
manually brake and steer the
vehicle.
Intersections; Vehicles
Crossing the Road Ahead
Super Cruise will not brake the
vehicle when approaching an
intersection that is controlled
by a traffic light or stop sign.
Super Cruise will not detect
vehicles crossing the road
ahead, including at
intersections, and will not
automatically steer or brake to
prevent a collision. You must
manually brake and steer the
vehicle.
