Super Cruise is a hands-free driving technology for use on limited-
access freeways. The system automatically steers the vehicle to
maintain lane position while also monitoring your attention to the
road. Working with the Adaptive Cruise Control system, it reduces
the need for you to frequently steer, brake or accelerate under
available operating conditions.
To maintain automatic control of vehicle steering during freeway
driving, Super Cruise uses Global Positioning System (GPS) sens-
ing, GPS-enhanced data, a high precision map, and a network of
cameras.
HOW SUPER CRUISE WORKS
Super Cruise is available only on limited access freeways that are
separated from opposing traffic. The GPS uses real-time corrections
and map data to determine the vehicle’s location while the Lane
Sensing Camera detects the marked lanes on the freeway to help
the vehicle automatically steer and maintain lane position.
The system works with Adaptive Cruise Control, which detects
vehicles in your path and accelerates or brakes your vehicle based
on surrounding traffic conditions, to maintain a driver-selected
following time from a vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic
conditions.
When engaged, Super Cruise provides feedback on system status
while tracking driver head position and using alerts that prompt
you to pay close attention to the road and steer manually when
needed.

While Super Cruise is engaged, an escalating series of prompts lets
you know if the Driver Attention Camera senses that you need to
pay more attention to the road ahead.
The steering wheel light bar intuitively provides a status of system
operation, including when the system is steering and when you
need to manually steer the vehicle. You can override Super Cruise at
any time by steering, braking or accelerating.
If you do not respond to system prompts to manually steer the
vehicle, Super Cruise will be disabled and OnStar will be contacted
to provide support.
Super Cruise does not:
• Detect or steer through construction zones.
• Perform all aspects of driving, nor do everything a driver can do.
• Detect whether you are drowsy or focused on safe driving.
• Steer to avoid any objects, including vehicles, animals, pedes-
trians, bicyclists, potholes, debris, construction barriers, and
cones.
• Steer the vehicle in reaction to vehicles or objects next to your
vehicle, including other vehicles that attempt to enter your lane.
• Steer to merge the vehicle into the appropriate lane of traffic or
to exit the freeway.
• Make lane changes.
Always be prepared to take over operation of the vehicle.
