Driving and Operating 211
Maximum vehicle speed may be limited if
the four-wheel steering system becomes
inoperable.
When towing a trailer the four-wheel
steering provides enhanced stability allowing
the trailer to follow the path of the tow
vehicle more closely, especially during lane
changes. SeeGeneral Towing Information
0 293 for more information on towing a
trailer.
Four-Wheel Steering Behavior at 0 MPH
The rear wheels may not steer to full travel
when the vehicle is stationary. Additional
travel may be achieved once the vehicle
begins to move.
Care should be taken to ensure the vehicle
path is clear of obstacles if the rear tires
steer once the vehicle is moving.
Limited-Slip Differential
If equipped, the limited-slip differential can
give more traction on snow, mud, ice, sand,
or gravel. It works like a standard axle most
of the time, but when traction is low, this
feature allows the drive wheel with the
most traction to move the vehicle. For
vehicles with the limited-slip differential, driven under severe conditions, the rear axle
fluid should be changed. See
Maintenance
Schedule 0389.
Air Suspension
If equipped, the Air Suspension feature
provides full time load leveling capability
along with the benefit of adjusting ride
height for increased convenience and
capability.
{Warning
To help avoid personal injury or death,
make sure the area underneath the
vehicle and inside the wheel wells is clear
when lowering the vehicle.
{Warning
To help avoid personal injury or death,
always select the lowest ride height for
the current driving conditions. Higher ride
heights raise the vehicle's center of
gravity, increasing the chance of a
rollover during extreme maneuvers.
{Warning
Heavy loads on the roof rack will make
the vehicle's center of gravity higher,
increasing the possibility of a rollover. To
avoid losing control of the vehicle, always
select the normal height setting and
avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp
turns, sudden braking, or abrupt
maneuvers when carrying cargo on the
roof rack.
Changing Ride Height
Press either “Up”or“Down” Ride Height
button to open the Ride Height menu. Select
the desired ride height from the following

Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced)
If equipped, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
allows the cruise control set speed and
following gap to be selected. Read this
entire section before using this system. 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. ACC uses a camera
and radar sensor(s) to detect other vehicles.
See Radio Frequency Statement 0404.
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
pedal or press
*. If ACC is controlling the
vehicle speed when the Traction Control
System (TCS) or StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system activates, ACC
may disengage. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0207. When road
conditions allow ACC to be safely used, ACC
can be turned back on.

Chevrolet Silverado EV Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
218 Driving and Operating
Disabling the TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC system
will disengage ACC and prevent ACC from
being re-engaged while TCS or StabiliTrak/
ESC is disabled.
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.
{Warning
ACC has limited braking ability and may
not have time to slow the vehicle down
enough to avoid a collision with another
vehicle you are following. This can occur
when vehicles suddenly slow or stop
ahead, or enter your lane. Also see
“Alerting the Driver”later in this section.
Complete attention is always required
while driving and you should be ready to
take action and apply the brakes. See
Defensive Driving 0183.
{Warning
ACC will not detect or brake for children,
pedestrians, animals, or other objects.
Do not use ACC when:
.On winding and hilly roads or when
the sensors are blocked by snow, ice,
or dirt. The system may not detect a
vehicle ahead. Keep the entire front of
the vehicle clean.
.Visibility is poor due to rain, snow,
fog, dirt, insect residue, or dust; when
other foreign objects obscure the
camera and/or radar; or when the
vehicle in front or oncoming traffic
causes additional environmental
obstructions, such as road spray. ACC
performance is limited under these
conditions.
.On slippery roads where fast changes
in tire traction can cause excessive
wheel slip.
5:Press to turn the system on or off. The
indicator turns white on the instrument
cluster when ACC is turned on.
+RES : If ACC is already activated, press the
thumbwheel up briefly to resume the
previous set speed or to increase the set
speed. See “Increasing Speed While ACC Is at
a Set Speed” later in this section.
–SET : If ACC is already activated, briefly
press the thumbwheel down to –SET to set
the ACC cruise speed or to decrease the set
speed. See “Reducing Speed While ACC Is at
a Set Speed” later in this section.

Medium Gap Setting
Near Gap SettingIf equipped, and a trailer is electrically
connected, the gap setting display will be as
follows:
Far Gap Setting with Trailer
Medium Gap Setting with Trailer
Near Gap Setting with Trailer
Since each gap setting corresponds to a
following time (Far, Medium, or Near), the
following distance will vary based on vehicle
speed. The faster the vehicle speed, the
longer the following distance will be
between your vehicle and the vehicle
detected ahead. Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the following gap.
The range of selectable gaps may not be
appropriate for all drivers and driving
conditions.
Changing the gap setting automatically
changes the alert timing sensitivity (Far,
Medium, or Near) for the Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) feature. See Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System 0261.

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.

224 Driving and Operating
{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
ahead changing lanes. Your vehicle may
not stop and could cause a crash. Use
caution when using ACC. Your complete
attention is always required while driving
and you should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes. Irregular Objects Affecting ACC
ACC may have difficulty detecting the
following objects:
.Vehicles with cargo extending from the
back end.
.Non-standard shaped vehicles, such as
vehicle transport, vehicles with a side car
fitted, or horse carriages.
.Objects that are close to the front of your
vehicle.
ACC Automatically Disengages
ACC may automatically disengage and the
driver will need to manually apply the
brakes to slow the vehicle if:
.The sensors are blocked.
.The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/ESC system has activated or
has been disabled.
.If equipped with Air Suspension, the
vehicle ride height is outside normal
operating range. See Air Suspension0211.
.There is a fault in the system.
.The radar falsely reports a blockage when
driving in a remote area with no other
vehicles or roadside objects.
A DIC message may display to indicate that
ACC is temporarily unavailable. The ACC indicator light will turn white when
ACC is disengaged.
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 mode.
Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a follow distance gap
behind a detected vehicle, and will slow
down your vehicle to a stop behind that
vehicle.
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 will pulse three times,
or three beeps will sound. To view available
settings from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems > Alert Type > Adaptive Cruise Go
Notifier.

If Auto Set Speed is enabled and a speed
limit sign is detected, ACC will set the speed
to the road speed limit (+/− the selected
offset). For Auto Set Speed customization,
see Adaptive Cruise Control (Advanced)
0 217. When engaged and not steering the vehicle,
the steering wheel light bar flashes blue,
and
Zwill be blue. The driver is in control
of steering and Super Cruise is not steering
the vehicle.
When the vehicle is positioned in the center
of the lane, the steering wheel light bar and
Zdisplay will turn green, indicating Super
Cruise is steering the vehicle.
When Super Cruise controls the steering,
traffic and other conditions and laws permit,
and it is safe to do so, your hands can be
taken off the steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the road and the
operation of the vehicle. Always monitor
and be attentive of surrounding traffic,
including vehicles that may cross the road in
front of your vehicle.
Super Cruise steering can be overridden with
manual steering at any time. When Super
Cruise is engaged, always be prepared to
take immediate action —including steering,
accelerating, and braking quickly,
if necessary.
When Super Cruise is engaged, the Forward
Collision system will alert and brake. See
Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System 0261. Steering Manually and Changing Lanes
The vehicle can always be manually steered,
even with Super Cruise engaged; for
example, when manually changing lanes.
When the steering wheel is moved
manually, the steering wheel light bar
flashes blue andZon the instrument
cluster turns blue to indicate Super Cruise is
not steering the vehicle.
When ready to allow Super Cruise to
resume steering again, position the vehicle
in the center of the lane, hold the steering
wheel until the steering wheel light bar
turns green, and then release the steering
wheel when it is safe to do so.
{Warning
To help prevent crashes before making a
lane change:
.Always check mirrors.
.Glance over your shoulder.
.Use the turn signals.
