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. See
Defensive Driving 0242.

Warning (Continued)
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:

342 Driving and Operating
After completely passing a
large enough space, an audible
beep occurs. A red stop
symbol and a shift to reverse
message are displayed.
If the vehicle is in R (Reverse),
but does not steer into the
expected space, this may be
because the system is
maneuvering the vehicle into a
previously detected space.
The APA system does not
need service.APA will instruct the vehicle to
stop once a large enough
space is found. Follow the
displayed instructions. When
instructed to drive in reverse,
shift to R (Reverse) to engage
automatic steering. The
steering wheel will vibrate
briefly as a reminder to
remove hands from the
steering wheel. Check
surroundings and continue
braking or accelerating as
needed, and be prepared to
stop to avoid vehicles,
pedestrians, or objects. If the
vehicle exceeds 10 km/h
(6 mph), APA is automatically
disengaged.A progress arrow displays the
status of the parking
maneuver. Depending on the
space size, additional
maneuvers may be required,
and there will be additional
instructions. When changing
gears, allow the automatic
steering to complete before
continuing the parking
maneuver. APA will beep and
display a PARKING
COMPLETE message. Secure
the vehicle against rolling
away by applying parking
brake.
APA may automatically
disengage if:
.The steering wheel is used
by the driver.
