Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise
Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the
vehicle speed. When you take your foot off
the pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the
previously set cruise speed. While pressing
the accelerator pedal or shortly following
the release to override cruise control, briefly
pressing SET– will result in cruise control set
to the current vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills
depends on the vehicle speed, the load, and
the steepness of the hills. When going up
steep hills, pressing the accelerator pedal
may be necessary to maintain vehicle speed.
While going downhill, cruise braking helps
maintain driver selected speed.
Cruise Grade Braking is enabled when the
vehicle is started and cruise control is active.
It is not enabled in Range Selection Mode.
It assists in maintaining driver selected
speed when driving on downhill grades by
using the engine and transmission to slow
the vehicle. For other forms of descent control, see
Hill
Descent Control (HDC) 0227, Automatic
Transmission 0215, and Tow/Haul Mode,
see Driver Mode Control 0228.
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to end cruise control:
.Step lightly on the brake pedal.
.Press*.
.Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).
.To turn off cruise control, press5.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from
memory if
5is pressed or the ignition is
turned off.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced)
If equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC), it allows for selecting the cruise
control set speed and following gap. Read
this entire section before using this system.
ACC uses a camera and radar sensor(s) to
detect other vehicles. See Radio Frequency
Statement 0419. The following gap is the following time (or
distance) between your vehicle and a vehicle
detected directly ahead in your path,
moving in the same direction. If no vehicle
is detected in your path, ACC works like
regular cruise control.
If a vehicle is detected in your path, ACC can
apply acceleration or limited, moderate
braking to maintain the selected following
gap. To disengage ACC, apply the brake.
If ACC is controlling the vehicle speed when
the Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system activates, ACC may automatically
disengage. See
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control 0225. When road
conditions allow ACC to be safely used, ACC
can be turned back on.
Disabling the TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC system
will disengage and prevent engagement
of ACC.
ACC can reduce the need for you to
frequently brake and accelerate, especially
when used on expressways, freeways, and
interstate highways. When used on other
roads, you may need to take over the
control of braking or acceleration more
often.

other vehicles, which could cause a crash
if the brakes are not applied manually.
You and others could be seriously injured
or killed.
Setting Adaptive Cruise Control
If
Jis on when not in use, it could get
pressed and go into ACC when not desired.
Keep
Joff when cruise is not being used.
Select the set speed desired for ACC. This is
the vehicle speed when no vehicle is
detected in your path. While the vehicle is moving, ACC will not set
at a speed below a minimum speed,
although it can be resumed. If equipped
with Super Cruise, this minimum speed is
5 km/h (3 mph), otherwise, it is 25 km/h
(15 mph). The minimum allowable set speed
is 25 km/h (15 mph).
To set ACC while moving:
1. Press
J.
2. Get up to the desired speed.
3. Press and release SET–.
4. Remove foot from the accelerator pedal.
After ACC is set, it may immediately apply
the brakes if a vehicle ahead is detected
closer than the selected following gap.
ACC can also be set while the vehicle is
stopped if ACC is on and the brake pedal is
applied.

.The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/ESC system has activated or
been disabled.
.There is a fault in the system.
.The radar falsely reports blockage when
driving in a desert or remote area with
no other vehicles or roadside objects.
A DIC message may display to indicate
that ACC is temporarily unavailable.
The ACC indicator will turn white when ACC
is no longer active.
In some cases, when ACC is temporarily
unavailable, regular cruise control may be
used. See “Switching Between ACC and
Regular Cruise Control” previously in this
section. Always consider driving conditions
before using either cruise control system.
Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a follow gap behind a
detected vehicle and slow your vehicle to a
stop behind that vehicle.
If equipped with Driver Attention System
(DAS) located on top of the steering column,
when the vehicle ahead drives away, and
DAS determines if the driver's attention is
on the road ahead, ACC resumes
automatically. See “Attention to the Road”
under Super Cruise 0246. If necessary, press RES+ or the accelerator pedal to resume
ACC. If stopped for more than two minutes
or if the driver door is opened and the
driver seat belt is unbuckled, the ACC
automatically applies the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB) to hold the vehicle. The EPB
status light will turn on. See
Electric Parking
Brake 0223. To release the EPB, press the
accelerator pedal.
If the stopped vehicle ahead has driven
away and ACC has not resumed, the vehicle
ahead indicator will flash as a reminder to
check traffic ahead before proceeding. In
addition, the left and right sides of the
Safety Alert Seat (if equipped) will pulse
three times, or three beeps will sound.
Touch the Settings icon on the infotainment
home page. Select “Vehicle”to display the
list of available options and select ”Alert
Type” and“Adaptive Cruise Go Notifier” in
“Collision/Detection Systems”.
A DIC warning message may display
indicating to shift to P (Park) before exiting
the vehicle. See Vehicle Messages 0132.
{Warning
If ACC has stopped the vehicle, and if ACC
is disengaged, turned off, or canceled, the
vehicle will no longer be held at a stop.
The vehicle can move. When ACC is
holding the vehicle at a stop, always be
prepared to manually apply the brakes.
{Warning
Leaving the vehicle without placing it in
P (Park) can be dangerous. Do not leave
the vehicle while it is being held at a
stop by ACC. Always place the vehicle in
P (Park) and turn off the ignition before
leaving the vehicle.
ACC Override
If using the accelerator pedal while ACC is
active, the ACC indicator turns blue on the
instrument cluster indicating ACC braking
will not occur. ACC will resume operation
when the accelerator pedal is not being
pressed.

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 on a roof rack
system. SeeRoof Rack System 092.
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 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

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
0 139.
{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.
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
