Driving for Better Fuel Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel mileage. Here
are some driving tips to get the best fuel
economy possible:
.Set the climate controls to the desired
temperature after the engine is started,
or turn them off when not required.
.Avoid fast starts and accelerate smoothly.
.Brake gradually and avoid abrupt stops.
.Avoid idling the engine for long periods
of time.
.When road and weather conditions are
appropriate, use cruise control.
.Always follow posted speed limits or
drive more slowly when conditions
require.
.Keep vehicle tires properly inflated.
.Combine several trips into a single trip.
.Replace the vehicle's tires with the same
TPC Spec number molded into the tire's
sidewall near the size.
.Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.

196 Driving and Operating
Control of a Vehicle
Braking, steering, and accelerating are
important factors in helping to control a
vehicle while driving.
Braking
Braking action involves perception time and
reaction time. Deciding to push the brake
pedal is perception time. Actually doing it is
reaction time.
Average driver reaction time is about
three-quarters of a second. In that time, a
vehicle moving at 100 km/h (60 mph) travels
20 m (66 ft), which could be a lot of
distance in an emergency.
Helpful braking tips to keep in mind include:
.Keep enough distance between you and
the vehicle in front of you.
.Avoid needless heavy braking.
.Keep pace with traffic.
If the engine ever stops or a brake fault
occurs, the brakes may lose power assist.
More effort will be required to stop the
vehicle. It may take longer to stop.
Steering
Caution
To avoid damage to the steering system,
do not drive over curbs, parking barriers,
or similar objects at speeds greater than
3 km/h (1 mph). Use care when driving
over other objects such as lane dividers
and speed bumps. Damage caused by
misuse of the vehicle is not covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Electric Power Steering
The vehicle is equipped with an electric
power steering system, which reduces the
amount of effort needed to steer the
vehicle. It does not have power steering
fluid. Regular maintenance is not required.
If the vehicle experiences a system
malfunction and loses power steering,
greater steering effort may be required.
Power steering assist also may be reduced if
you turn the steering wheel as far as it can
turn and hold it there with force for an
extended period of time.
See your dealer if there is a problem.
Curve Tips
.Take curves at a reasonable speed.
.Reduce speed before entering a curve.
.Maintain a reasonable steady speed
through the curve.
.Wait until the vehicle is out of the curve
before accelerating gently into the
straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
.There are some situations when steering
around a problem may be more effective
than braking.

Mexico/Paraguay-16515119) - 2023 - CRC - 6/2/22
202 Driving and Operating
.Keep windshield wiping equipment in
good shape.
.Keep the windshield washer fluid reservoir
filled.
.Have good tires with proper tread depth.
SeeTires 0369.
.Turn off cruise control.
Hill and Mountain Roads
Driving on steep hills or through mountains
is different than driving on flat or rolling
terrain. Tips include:
.Keep the vehicle serviced and in good
shape.
.Check all fluid levels and brakes, tires, and
cooling system.
.Shift to a lower gear when going down
steep or long hills.
{Warning
Using the brakes to slow the vehicle on a
long downhill slope can cause brake
overheating, can reduce brake
performance, and could result in a loss of
braking. Shift the transmission to a lower
gear to let the engine assist the brakes
on a steep downhill slope.
{Warning
Coasting downhill in N (Neutral) or with
the ignition off is dangerous. This can
cause overheating of the brakes and loss
of steering assist. Always have the engine
running and the vehicle in gear.
.Drive at speeds that keep the vehicle in
its own lane. Do not swing wide or cross
the center line.
.Be alert on top of hills; something could
be in your lane (e.g., stalled car, crash).
.Pay attention to special road signs (e.g.,
falling rocks area, winding roads, long
grades, passing or no-passing zones) and
take appropriate action.
Winter Driving
Driving on Snow or Ice
Caution
To avoid damage to the wheels and
brake components, always clear snow and
ice from inside the wheels and
underneath the vehicle before driving. Snow or ice between the tires and the road
creates less traction or grip, so drive
carefully. Wet ice can occur at about 0 °C
(32 °F) when freezing rain begins to fall.
Avoid driving on wet ice or in freezing rain
until roads can be treated.
For Slippery Road Driving:
.Accelerate gently. Accelerating too quickly
causes the wheels to spin and makes the
surface under the tires slick.
.Turn on Traction Control. See
Traction
Control/Electronic Stability Control 0237.
.The Antilock Brake System (ABS) improves
vehicle stability during hard stops, but
the brakes should be applied sooner than
when on dry pavement. See Antilock
Brake System (ABS) 0234.
.Allow greater following distance and
watch for slippery spots. Icy patches can
occur on otherwise clear roads in shaded
areas. The surface of a curve or an
overpass can remain icy when the
surrounding roads are clear. Avoid sudden
steering maneuvers and braking while
on ice.
.Turn off cruise control.

Driving and Operating 253
Alerting the Driver
With Head-Up Display
Without Head-Up Display
If ACC is engaged, driver action may be
required when ACC cannot apply sufficient
braking because of approaching a vehicle
too rapidly.
When this condition occurs, the collision
alert symbol will flash on the windshield.
Either eight beeps will sound from the front,
or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat,
if equipped, will pulse five times. To view
available settings from the infotainment
screen, touch Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems. See
Defensive Driving 0195.
Approaching and Following a Vehicle
The vehicle ahead indicator is in the
instrument cluster and HUD (if equipped).
It only displays when a vehicle is detected
in your vehicle’s path moving in the same
direction. If this symbol is not displaying,
ACC will not respond to or brake for vehicles
ahead.
ACC automatically slows the vehicle down
and adjusts vehicle speed to follow a
detected vehicle ahead at the selected
following gap. The vehicle speed increases or
decreases to follow a detected vehicle in
front of your vehicle when that vehicle is
traveling slower than your vehicle set speed.
It may apply limited braking, if necessary.
When braking is active, the brake lamps will
come on. The automatic braking may feel or
sound different than if the brakes were
applied manually. This is normal. Passing a Vehicle While Using ACC
If the set speed is high enough, and the left
turn signal is used to pass a vehicle ahead
in the selected following gap, ACC may
assist by gradually accelerating the vehicle
prior to the lane change.
{Warning
When using ACC to pass a vehicle or
perform a lane change, the following
distance to the vehicle being passed may
be reduced. ACC may not apply sufficient
acceleration or braking when passing a
vehicle or performing a lane change.
Always be ready to manually accelerate
or brake to complete the pass or lane
change.
Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects
{Warning
ACC may not detect and react to stopped
or slow-moving vehicles ahead of you. For
example, the system may not brake for a
vehicle it has never detected moving. This
can occur in stop-and-go traffic or when a
vehicle suddenly appears due to a vehicle (Continued)

258 Driving and Operating
Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the windshield behind
the rearview mirror can become blocked by
snow, ice, dirt, mud, or debris. This area
needs to be cleaned for ACC to operate
properly.
If equipped with Super Cruise, the radar
sensors on the front of the vehicle can also
become blocked by snow, ice, dirt, mud,
or debris. These areas need to be cleaned
for ACC to operate properly.
The vehicle headlamps may need to be
cleaned due to dirt, snow, or ice. Objects
that are not illuminated correctly may be
difficult to detect.
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” underExterior Care 0407.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.
The Super Cruise System may initiate a lane
change maneuver in 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
0 141.
{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

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.
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 OnStar
Super Cruise works with Adaptive Cruise

a lane change when traffic conditions are
safe for a lane change, and always be
ready to manually steer the vehicle. See
“Steering Manually and Changing Lanes”
listed previously in this section.
Take Over Alert
{Warning
Super Cruise will not maintain the
vehicle’s speed while the steering wheel
light bar is flashing red. If the steering
wheel light bar flashes red, immediately
resume manual steering to prevent
serious injury or death. If you do not
resume manual steering, the vehicle will
begin to slow in the same lane and
eventually come to a complete stop on
the road.
Any time the steering wheel light bar
flashes red, resume manual steering. To begin steering manually, hold the
steering wheel firmly (with both hands)
using the highlighted regions as shown in
the picture below.
The instrument cluster light^, will also
turn red and a message will display in the
Driver Information Center (DIC). In addition,
beeps will sound, or the Safety Alert Seat
will vibrate. To view Collision and Detection
options, touch the Settings icon on the
infotainment home page. Select “Vehicle”to
display the list of available options and
select “Collision/Detection Systems”. After
you begin steering manually, then Super
Cruise will disengage. The red flashing steering wheel light bar
could occur under any of the following
conditions:
.Lane markings are poor, or visibility is
limited.
.The Driver Attention System (DAS) does
not detect that the driver's head and eyes
are directed toward the road.
.ACC is canceled.
.The vehicle is on a tight curve, or the
lanes are too wide, or the vehicle goes
into a curve too fast.
.The compatible road ends.
.The vehicle is approaching an intersection
controlled by a traffic light, stop sign,
or other traffic control device.
.A Super Cruise system fault occurs.
.Super Cruise is unable to complete the
lane change maneuver.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
System
If equipped, when the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse), RCTA shows a red warning
triangle with a left or right pointing arrow
on the infotainment display 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.
Use caution while backing up when towing
a trailer, as the RCTA detection zones that
extend out from the back of the vehicle do
not move further back when a trailer is
towed.
RCTA is disabled when the trailer connection
status is displayed.
RCTA can be turned off. To view available
settings from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems.
Assistance Systems for Driving
If equipped, when driving the vehicle in a
forward gear, Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
Front Pedestrian Braking, (FPB), Lane Keep
Assist (LKA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW),
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA), Lane Change
Alert (LCA), and/or the Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) can help to avoid a crash or
reduce crash damage.
Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System
If equipped, 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 drivers 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 (Camera) 0247.
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When approaching a
slower-moving or stopped vehicle ahead
too rapidly, or when following a vehicle
too closely, FCA may not provide a
warning with enough time to help avoid
a crash. It also may not provide any
warning at all. FCA does not warn of
