However, Super Cruise will not steer to avoid safety situations. You need to take control to steer around a traffic situation or object, merge into traffic, exit the highway, make a turn, or stop for crossing traffic or a traffic light, stop sign or other traffic control device. If the system detects that you may not be paying attention to the road ahead, the steering-wheel light bar flashes green to prompt you to return your attention to the road. When it is safe to do so, press the Super Cruise™† button on the steering wheel to engage Super Cruise™.

ANOTHER INNOVATION FROM CADILLAC

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 highway to help the vehicle automatically steer and maintain lane position. With an attentive driver, and under the proper conditions, Super Cruise™-equipped† vehicles can permit hands-free operation of the vehicle. Super Cruise technology works with Adaptive Cruise Control† which can control acceleration and braking while it is enabled and operating to maintain a driver-selected following gap time.

I’M ON A COMPATIBLE ROAD ARE THERE ANY OTHER LIMITATIONS ON USING SUPER CRUISE?

The white line will disappear once a driver has selected a route and the view on the touchscreen is showing the route as active. Drivers need only select the Alternate Routes Overview on the touchscreen to switch views and find a Super Cruise-compatible road. In addition, the new large touchscreen allows for a wide range of screen combinations and reconfigurability. Drivers must always pay attention to the road while using Super Cruise.

HOW DO I MANUALLY STEER THE VEHICLE WHEN SUPER CRUISE IS ENGAGED?

Cruise will resume manual driving of its autonomous vehicles to create maps and gather road information in certain cities, starting with Phoenix, the company said Tuesday. The GM subsidiary already had a presence in Phoenix before it pulled its entire U.S.-based fleet last year following an incident in San Francisco that left a pedestrian stuck under and dragged by a Cruise robotaxi. This latest update adds minor highways that typically connect smaller cities and townships, and compatible cars have already started receiving new data over-the-air, with more to come through 2025. Super Cruise will use the Adaptive Cruise Control† set speed, however if you have not set the Adaptive Cruise Control speed when Super Cruise has activated, it will use your current speed as the Adaptive Cruise Control set speed. In cases when vehicle speed is greater than the set speed, Super Cruise Set Speed will be equal to the vehicle speed. When set speed is above maximum allowed Super Cruise speed, Super Cruise Set Speed will be equal to the vehicle speed if under the maximum allowed Super Cruise speed.

Is Super Cruise driving the vehicle?

If the steering wheel light bar flashes red for too long, a voice prompt will be heard. You should take over steering immediately; otherwise, the vehicle will slow in your lane of travel and eventually brake to a stop, as well as prompt an Emergency-Certified OnStar Advisor to call into the vehicle to check on you. Super Cruise† and Adaptive Cruise Control† will disengage. Automatic updates via your OnStar plan will occur for the latest Super Cruise road availability information. In the event that a map update is not completed within seven months, Super Cruise will be disabled.

Some features shown may have limited, late or no availability. GMC is reinventing its iconic truck with the first ever Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 (expected availability summer 2024), the third vehicle in GMC’s lineup of all-electric vehicles alongside the HUMMER EV Pickup and HUMMER EV SUV. Discover how the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 is combining next-gen EV power, cutting-edge tech and premium Denali luxury to take the Sierra to uncharted territories.

Make sure you’re on a compatible road with clearly visible lane markings and that your camera and radar sensors aren’t covered, and ensure your eyes are on the road so the Driver Attention System detects you’re paying attention. No, Super Cruise will not steer to avoid safety situations, objects or road impediments. If equipped with Lane Change on Demand, you are able to prompt the system to change lanes for you.

It is important to always remember that Super Cruise† is a driver assistance technology and cannot accurately detect all situations, so you should pay attention to the road ahead while Super Cruise† is engaged. Super Cruise† also cannot determine whether the driver is awake, asleep, impaired or properly focused on safe driving. Complete attention is always required while driving, even when using Super Cruise.† The driver should always be prepared to take over steering or apply the brakes at any time. 1Always pay attention while driving and when using Super Cruise.

COMMUTES. ROADTRIPS. AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN.

But starting with its model year 2023 vehicles, the company started adding nondivided state and federal highways, which are sometimes called routes — main roads that connect smaller cities and towns. That includes popular roads like US Route 66, the Pacific Coast Highway, the Overseas Highway, and the Trans-Canada Highway. When Super Cruise is engaged, the vehicle’s precision LiDAR map data, real-time cameras, radars and GPS keep the vehicle traveling along the lane path for a hands-free driving experience. These systems work together through “sensor fusion” to create a sensory field around the vehicle that assists in keeping it centered in the lane while elevating the driver’s comfort and convenience. Available Cadillac Super Cruise offers the ease and convenience of hands-free driving on compatible roads.

All Super Cruise-equipped vehicles include three years of connectivity to support functionality, after which a Super Cruise plan must be purchased. Super Cruise is a hands-free driver assistance feature introduced to the GM family of vehicles in 2017. It uses adaptive cruise control technology and car-connected services to navigate LiDAR-enabled map data using real-time positioning, cameras, and sensors. Super Cruise† is the first true hands-free driver assistance technology for compatible roads and is now being offered on more GMC vehicles† than ever before. Super Cruise utilizes advanced technologies to provide the ease and convenience of hands-free driving, bringing your experience to the next level. Super Cruise is the first true hands-free driver assistance technology for compatible roads, and it’s now being offered on more Chevy vehicles than ever before.

To turn Super Cruise off, press the Super Cruise button again or firmly take control of steering and press your brake pedal. Super Cruise can also be turned off by pressing the Adaptive Cruise Control ON/OFF or CANCEL button, or by pulling the Regen On Demand paddle toward you on an EV. On these vehicles, when you turn Super Cruise off, these features will revert to the settings you had previously set for them. On other vehicles, your settings for these features will remain set, even if you turn your vehicle off and on again. Cruise has not announced when or where it will resume driverless operations.

To start, a driver must already be using Adaptive Cruise Control. There’s no trick to using Super Cruise if all the required conditions are met. The Super Cruise system is a highly sophisticated system and should only be serviced by technicians with the proper training, tools and safety instructions, which are qualifications GMC dealers have. Without these qualifications the vehicle may become damaged. •    There is poor reception in isolated areas.•    Reception is being blocked by buildings or other large structures.•    The owner’s required OnStar Super Cruise plan subscription may have ended. •    Set speed is not required before enabling Super Cruise.•    Adaptive Cruise Control is not required to be engaged before enabling Super Cruise.

Available Super Cruise† hands-free driver assistance technology is now being offered on more Chevrolet vehicles than ever before. Select 2024 vehicles will now see available Super Cruise† feature that is capable of hands-free technology to enhance your driving experience. General Motors may be struggling when it comes to fully autonomous driving, but the company is still feeling bullish about the future of hands-free driving. Today, it announced plans to expand its Super Cruise advanced driver-assist system, which allows drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel on certain roads, to cover nearly double the number of miles it did before. With Lane Change on Demand (offered on select 2021–2023 Super Cruise-equipped vehicles, excludes 2022 and 2023 XT6), Super Cruise can steer to perform a single lane change under certain conditions when requested by the driver.

Once you are ready for Super Cruise to steer again, center the vehicle in the lane and wait for the steering wheel to turn green. Super Cruise is not available when Teen Driver† is active. Additionally, Super Cruise should never be used under difficult or uncertain driving conditions. All Super Cruise-equipped vehicles include 3 years of connectivity to support functionality, after which an eligible paid Super Cruise OnStar service plan is required.

The new miles will begin to trickle into Super Cruise-capable vehicles through over-the-air updates, but there are a few cars that won't get them—the Cadillac XT6, Cadillac CT6, and Chevy Bolt EUV. For cars that will get the new update, the new full map should be available in about a month. When Automatic Lane Change is engaged, the gauge cluster will inform the driver when a lane change will occur and will gently guide the vehicle into a desired lane around the vehicle in its path. Or, if the desired lane is unavailable, it will notify the driver that merging must be manually completed. The system will display messages, such as “looking for an opening” or “changing lanes,” to keep the driver informed. When Super Cruise™ is active, your vehicle will also change lanes if the current lane is ending, as well as pass (to the left) around slower moving vehicles and return to its original lane.

The notices of updates can be sent to your vehicle or you can manually check for updates via the touch-screen. •    The Super Cruise system has detected that the vehicle is in an exit lane.
