318 Driving and Operating
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
Connected Services
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) 0305.
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)
Warning (Continued)
.Not steer in response to
vehicles or objects next to
your vehicle, including
vehicles attempting to
enter your lane.
.Not respond to traffic
lights, stop signs, or other
traffic control devices.
.Not respond to crossing
traffic.
.Not make turns.
.Not steer to merge onto
or to exit highways.
.Not steer to avoid,
or steer through
construction zones.
.Not function on surface
streets.
.Not respond to oncoming
traffic.
.Not function in city driving
conditions.

346 Driving and Operating
Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA) System
If equipped, RCTA displays a
red warning triangle with a left
or right pointing arrow to warn
of traffic coming from the left
or right. This system detects
objects coming from up to
20 m (65 ft) from the left or
right side of the vehicle. When
an object is detected, either
three beeps sound from the
left or right or three Safety
Alert Seat pulses occur on the
left or right side, depending on
the direction of the detected
vehicle.
Driving with a Trailer
Use caution while backing up
when towing a trailer. The
RCTA feature is automatically
disabled when a trailer is
attached to the vehicle.
Turning the Feature On
or Off
To view available settings for
this feature, touch the
Settings icon on the
infotainment home page.
Select“Vehicle” to display the
list of available options and
select “Collision/Detection
Systems”.
Assistance Systems
for Driving
If equipped, when driving the
vehicle in a forward gear,
Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW), Lane Keep Assist
(LKA), Side Blind Zone Alert
(SBZA), Lane Change Alert
(LCA), Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB), and/or the
Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System can help to
avoid a crash or reduce crash
damage.
Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System
The FCA system may help to
avoid or reduce the harm
caused by front-end crashes.
When approaching a vehicle
ahead too quickly, FCA
provides a red flashing alert
on the windshield and rapidly
beeps or pulses the driver
seat. FCA also lights an amber
visual alert if following another
vehicle much too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a
distance of approximately
60 m (197 ft) and operates at
speeds above 8 km/h (5 mph).
If the vehicle has Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), it can
detect vehicles to distances of
approximately 110 m (360 ft)
and operates at all speeds.
See Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced) 0305.

occur with moving vehicles in
the side blind zone (or spot)
areas or with vehicles rapidly
approaching these areas from
behind. The LCA warning
display will light up in the
corresponding outside mirror
and will flash if the turn signal
is on.
{Warning
LCA does not alert the
driver to vehicles outside of
the system detection zones,
pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. It may not
provide alerts when
changing lanes under all
driving conditions. Failure to
use proper care when
changing lanes may result in
injury, death, or vehicle
damage. Before making a
lane change, always check
mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use the turn
signals.LCA Detection Zones1. SBZA Detection Zone
2. LCA Detection Zone
The LCA sensor covers a zone
of approximately one lane over
from both sides of the vehicle,
or 3.5 m (11 ft). The height of
the zone is approximately
between 0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2 m
(6 ft) off the ground. The Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
warning area starts at
approximately the middle of
the vehicle and goes back 5 m
(16 ft). Drivers are also warned
of vehicles rapidly
approaching from up to 70 m
(230 ft) behind the vehicle.
How the System Works
The LCA symbol lights up in
the outside mirrors when the
system detects a moving
vehicle in the next lane over
that is in the side blind zone or
rapidly approaching that zone
from behind. A lit LCA symbol
indicates it may be unsafe to
change lanes. Before making a
lane change, check the LCA
display, check mirrors, glance
over your shoulder, and use
the turn signals.

4. Turn the ignition off. Turnoff all lights and
accessories in both
vehicles, except the hazard
warning flashers if needed.
{Warning
An electric fan can start up
even when the engine is not
running and can injure you.
Keep hands, clothing, and
tools away from any
underhood electric fan.
{Warning
Using a match near a
battery can cause battery
gas to explode. People have
been hurt doing this, and
some have been blinded.
Use a flashlight if you need
more light.
Battery fluid contains acid
that can burn you. Do not
get it on you. If you
accidentally get it in your
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
eyes or on your skin, flush
the place with water and get
medical help immediately.
{Warning
Fans or other moving engine
parts can injure you badly.
Keep your hands away from
moving parts once the
engine is running.
5. Connect one end of the red positive (+) cable to the
remote positive (+)
terminal on the discharged
battery.
6. Connect the other end of the red positive (+) cable to
the positive (+) terminal of
the good battery.
7. Connect one end of the black negative (–) cable to
the negative (–) terminal of
the good battery. Do not let the other end
touch anything until the
next step. The other end of
the negative (–) cable does
not go to the dead battery.
It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal
engine part.
8. Connect the other end of the black negative (–) cable
to the negative (–)
grounding point for the
discharged battery.
9. Start the engine in the vehicle with the good
battery and run the engine
at idle speed for at least
four minutes.
10. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery.
If it will not start after a
few tries, it probably needs
service.
Jumper Cable Removal
Reverse the sequence exactly
when removing the jumper
cables.
