184 Driving and Operating
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 power steering system overheats,
there will be a temporary reduced level of
steering assist until the system cools down.
For example, the system can overheat if the
steering wheel is held firmly for an
extended amount of time at the end of its
range of travel. The energy from the
additional power assist becomes heat.
Normal operation of the power steering
system will resume when the system
cools down.
If the power steering system malfunctions,
the power steering system will have no
steering assist and greater steering effort
may be required. See your dealer to resolve
the problem.
Curve Tips
.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 hazard may be more effective
than braking.
.Holding both sides of the steering wheel
allows you to turn 180 degrees without
removing a hand.
.The Antilock Brake System (ABS) allows
steering while braking.
Off-Road Recovery

Driving and Operating 191
Driving on steep hills or through mountains
is different than driving on flat or rolling
terrain. Be sure to:
.Use regenerative braking to help slow the
vehicle or maintain speed by keeping the
vehicle in gear and limiting the initial
battery charge to 80% or less. See
Regenerative Braking0206.
.When braking is necessary, use frequent,
light taps of the brake pedal. This
maximizes regenerative braking and
minimizes the load on the vehicle brake
system.
.Keep the vehicle serviced and in good
shape.
.Check all fluid levels, brakes, tires, and
cooling system.
.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:
.Turn off cruise control.
.If enabled, turn off One-Pedal Driving. See
One-Pedal Driving 0203.
.If turned off, turn on the Traction Control
System (TCS) and Electronic Stability
Control (ESC). See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0207.
.Select the Snow/Ice driver mode. See
Driver Mode Control 0209.
.Accelerate gently. Accelerating too quickly
causes the wheels to spin and makes the
surface under the tires slick.
.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.
.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) 0204.
.Avoid using the Regen on Demand
paddle. See Regenerative Braking 0206.
Blizzard Conditions
If you become stranded or cannot continue
driving due to winter storm conditions, stop
the vehicle in a safe place and signal for
help. If possible, use Roadside Assistance
Program 0399. Stay with the vehicle unless
there is help nearby.

Courtesy Gap
You can temporarily increase the follow
distance gap between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead of you to allow more space
for merging traffic.
.When your vehicle is moving, press and
hold
[on the steering wheel to
temporarily increase the gap distance.
When you release
[, ACC may
accelerate to resume the ACC set speed
while maintaining the normal gap
distance setting.
.When your vehicle is stopped, press and
hold
[to prevent ACC from
automatically resuming the set speed,
which can allow for merging traffic to
merge between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead of you. When you are
ready to resume ACC, briefly press and
release the thumbwheel up to +RES,
or the apply the accelerator pedal. Alerting the Driver
If ACC is engaged, driver action may be
required when ACC cannot apply sufficient
braking because your vehicle is approaching
a vehicle ahead too quickly.
When this condition occurs, the red collision
alert symbol will flash on the windshield.
Either eight beeps will sound from the front,
or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat will
pulse five times. To view available settings
from the infotainment screen, touch Settings
> Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems.
See
Defensive Driving 0183.
Approaching and Following a Vehicle
The vehicle ahead indicator light is displayed
in the instrument cluster and the HUD,
if equipped. It only displays when a vehicle
is detected in your vehicle’s path and is
moving in the same direction. If the vehicle
ahead indicator light does not appear in the
instrument cluster, then ACC will not
respond to, or brake for, vehicles ahead.
While ACC is active, ACC will automatically
adjust your vehicle’s speed to follow a
detected vehicle ahead according to the
selected following gap setting. ACC may
decrease your vehicle’s cruise speed when
following a detected vehicle ahead that is
traveling slower than your ACC set speed.
ACC may apply limited braking, if necessary.
When ACC automatic braking is active, the
brake lamps will turn 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.

228 Driving and Operating
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
0 143.
{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
Super Cruise works with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), which controls acceleration
and braking while Super Cruise is enabled
and operating. Review and understand both
this section and the ACC section before
using Super Cruise. See Adaptive Cruise
Control (Advanced) 0217.
An active Connected Service plan that
includes Super Cruise Services is required to
use Super Cruise.
{Warning
Super Cruise does not perform all aspects
of driving, nor does it do everything a
driver can do. Super Cruise only steers to
maintain vehicle position in the current (Continued)

lane or, under some circumstances, to
change lanes. Super Cruise can only be
used with Adaptive Cruise Control.
Super Cruise does:
.Not prevent crashes or warn of
possible crashes.
.Not steer to avoid stopped or
slow-moving vehicles, cross-traffic,
construction barriers or cones,
motorcycles, children, pedestrians,
animals, or other objects on the road.
.Not steer in response to vehicles or
objects next to your vehicle, including
vehicles attempting to enter your lane.
.Not respond to traffic lights, stop
signs, or other traffic control devices.
.Not respond to crossing traffic.

.Super Cruise detects that the outside air
temperature is too cold for normal
operation.
The steering wheel light bar may flash
amber if the system anticipates certain
conditions that may require the driver to
take steering control. In the instrument
cluster, the Super Cruise indicator light
Z
will also turn amber and a message will be
displayed in the DIC.
Any time the steering wheel light bar
flashes amber, resume manual steering to
prevent further escalation. 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

Assistance Systems for Driving
If equipped, when driving the vehicle in a
forward gear, Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keep
Assist (LKA), Blind Zone Steering Assist
(BZSA), Lane Change Alert (LCA), Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB), Intersection
Automatic Emergency Braking (I-AEB), and/or
the Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB) System
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).
{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
pedestrians, animals, signs, guardrails,
bridges, construction barrels, or other
(Continued)
