Do not use ACC when driving on steep hills
as ACC may not detect a vehicle ahead.
Towing with ACC
If equipped when, towing a trailer, ACC
driving characteristics such as following gap,
acceleration rates and braking rates may be
modified to provide a better towing
experience.
ACC is not recommended with vehicles
equipped with aftermarket trailer brake
controllers. Aftermarket trailer brake
controllers may not activate the trailer
brakes while ACC is engaged. Aftermarket
trailer brake controller manual engagement
will not disable ACC.
ACC may be used when towing a trailer
when trailer attached is within GM-approved
allowable size and weight limits. See
Trailer
Towing 0253.
Use Tow/Haul mode when driving down
steep hills or mountain grades, or when
hauling heavy loads. See Driver Mode
Control 0190.
ACC maintains the set speed when driving
uphill and downhill while towing a trailer.
However, ACC may make a slight change to
the cruise speed while driving on moderate
hills if the combined vehicle and trailer
weight is close to the maximum Gross
Combined Weight Rating (GCWR). See Trailer
Towing 0253. This is normal ACC operation
and is necessary to maintain the set speed.
ACC may disengage if it detects that the
brake temperature exceeds the normal
range.
Disengaging ACC

Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from
memory if
Jis pressed or if the ignition is
turned off.
Weather Conditions Affecting ACC
System operation may be limited under
snow, heavy rain, or road spray conditions.
{Warning
Camera visibility may be limited and the
ACC system may not work properly if the
windshield is not clear. Do not use ACC if
moisture is present on the inside of the
windshield or the windshield washer is
used in cold weather. Turn on the front
defroster and make sure the windshield is
clear before using ACC. Before driving,
check that the windshield wipers are in
good condition and replace them if worn.
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 on a roof rack
system. See
Roof Rack System 085.
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 radar sensors
on the front of the vehicle can become
blocked by snow, ice, dirt, or mud. These
areas need 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” in this
section. Always consider driving conditions
before using either cruise control system.
For cleaning instructions, see “Washing the
Vehicle” underExterior Care 0321.
Super Cruise
If equipped, Super Cruise can steer to
maintain lane position under certain
conditions on Super Cruise-enabled roads. An active OnStar or connected service plan
that includes Emergency Services is required
to use Super Cruise.
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
.To provide space for vehicles merging
from an ending lane
See “Super Cruise Lane Change” later in this
section and Turn and Lane-Change Signals

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. SeeDefensive Driving
0 164. 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.
