{Warning
The ACC will not
automatically apply the
brakes if your foot is resting
on the accelerator pedal.
You could crash into a
vehicle ahead of you.
Curves in the Road
{Warning
On curves, ACC may not
detect a vehicle ahead in
your lane. You could be
startled if the vehicle
accelerates up to the set
speed, especially when
following a vehicle exiting or
entering exit ramps. You
could lose control of the
vehicle or crash. Do not use
ACC while driving on an
entrance or exit ramp.
Always be ready to use the
brakes if necessary.
{Warning
On curves, ACC may
respond to a vehicle in
another lane, or may not
have time to react to a
vehicle in your lane. You
could crash into a vehicle
ahead of you, or lose control
of your vehicle. Give extra
attention in curves and be
ready to use the brakes if
necessary. Select an
appropriate speed while
driving in curves.
ACC may operate differently
in a sharp curve. It may briefly
reduce the vehicle speed if the
curve is too sharp.
The curve speed control
indicator
bmay illuminate
green when ACC is actively
controlling the vehicle speed
and detects a sharp curve on
the road ahead. ACC automatically slows the
vehicle down while navigating
the curve and may increase
speed out of the curve, but will
not exceed the set speed.
When following a vehicle and
entering a curve, ACC may not
detect the vehicle ahead and
accelerate to the set speed.
When this happens, the
vehicle ahead indicator will not
appear.

different lanes or stationary
objects when entering or
exiting a curve. This is normal
operation. The vehicle does

Accessory Installations and
Vehicle Modifications
Do not install or place any
object around the front
camera windshield area that
would obstruct the front
camera view.
Do not install objects on top of
the vehicle that overhang and
obstruct the front camera,
such as a canoe, kayak,
or other items that can be
transported. Do not modify the hood,
headlamps, or fog lamps, as
this may limit the camera’s
ability to detect an object.
{Warning
Stickers or accessories
attached on or around the
front or rear fascia of your
vehicle can impair the radar
sensors resulting in vehicle
damage or personal injury.
Your vehicle could brake
suddenly. Do not attach
anything on or around the
front or rear fascia, including
the license plate, the
bumper, or the grille. Use
only GM genuine
accessories.
Do not attach anything to the
front or rear fascia as this may
interfere with the radar
sensor operation. Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the
windshield behind the
rearview mirror, and the
sensors on the front of the
vehicle can become blocked by
snow, ice, dirt, mud, or debris.
This area needs 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 0364.

hands can be taken off the
steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the
road and the operation of the
vehicle. Always monitor and be
attentive of surrounding
traffic, including vehicles that
may cross the road in front of
your vehicle. Super Cruise steering can be
overridden with manual
steering at any time. When

steering, accelerating, and
braking quickly, if necessary.
Super Cruise, when engaged,
will enable Forward Collision

turns blue to indicate Super
Cruise is not steering the
vehicle.

Cruise to resume steering
again, position the vehicle in
the center of the lane, hold the steering wheel until the
steering wheel light bar turns
green, and then release the
steering wheel when it is safe

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 0196.
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 (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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.
