Super Cruise is not a crash avoidance
system and will not steer or brake to
avoid a crash. Super Cruise does not steer
to prevent a crash with stopped or
slow-moving vehicles. You must supervise
the driving task and may need to steer
and brake to prevent a crash, especially
in stop-and-go traffic or when a vehicle
suddenly enters your lane. Always pay
attention when using Super Cruise.
Failure to do so could result in a crash
involving serious injury or death.

hand control back to the driver more
often driving around a sharp curve while
towing a trailer.
Super Cruise may operate differently in
sharp curves. It may drift out of your lane
of travel if the curve is too sharp.
When entering a curve, Super Cruise may
not detect the lane markings and may not
adjust the steering enough to stay in your
lane of travel. When this happens, you will
need to steer the vehicle. Super Cruise may detect other lane
markings that are not in your lane and may
or may not steer appropriately to maintain
your lane.
Super Cruise may occasionally provide an
alert and/or steering that is considered
unnecessary. It could respond to lane
markings in different lanes, signs, guardrails,
and other stationary objects when entering
or exiting a curve. This is normal operation.
The vehicle does not need service.
