Super Cruise®

The hands-free future

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. Select 2023 vehicles will now include additional features plus an expansion of compatible roads to bring your hands-free experience to the next level.

Late availability on select vehicles. Always pay attention while driving and when using Super Cruise. Do not use a hand-held device. Requires active Super Cruise plan or trial. Terms apply.

How to Use Super Cruise

With an attentive driver, and under the proper conditions, Super Cruise can permit hands-free operation of the vehicle. The technology functions with OnStar®* and uses real-time cameras, sensors, GPS and LiDAR map data to detect curves, helping to make long drives and commutes more comfortable.

Let go and enjoy one of the largest hands-free driving networks in North America.

On average, Super Cruise users drive more than 10 million hands-free miles per month total.

Lane Change on Demand*

By simply activating the turn signal on select Chevy vehicles, Lane Change on Demand will look for an opening in the desired lane and change lanes without any further input from the driver.

Automatic Lane Change*

When a slower vehicle is detected ahead, properly equipped vehicles can automatically initiate the turn signal, change lanes, pass the slower traffic, signal again and return to their original lane without the driver ever touching the controls.

OnStar® Emergency Service & Assistance*

An OnStar Emergency-Certified Advisor* can assist drivers should they become nonresponsive while Super Cruise is active.

Adaptive Cruise Control* 

This feature works with Super Cruise to automatically detect vehicles traveling in the same direction in its path. It controls acceleration and braking to maintain a driver-selected following gap, even in stop-and-go traffic.

Super Cruise® with Trailering*

When your properly equipped vehicle’s trailering system is activated, it will allow Super Cruise to recognize your compatible trailer and automatically lengthen the gap to the next vehicle ahead in traffic — giving you extra stopping distance if needed. No other competitor offers a hands-free driving system with towing capability.*

Note: Trailering cannot be used in conjunction with Automatic Lane Change or Lane Change on Demand.

Lane Centering

Super Cruise vehicles are equipped with a series of cameras and sensors that identify lane markings to keep you centered in your lane while driving hands-free.

MILES AND COUNTING

With over 240 million miles of hands-free driving in our rearview mirror, Super Cruise is leading the charge into the future of how we drive.  

OnStar® service plan

Super Cruise functions with an OnStar* service plan. 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.  

Active features 

In order to control acceleration and braking and maintain a driver-selected following gap time with Super Cruise, both Adaptive Cruise Control* and Forward Collision Alert* must be active. Teen Driver technology* must be turned off.

Driving considerations 

Proper conditions and an attentive driver are required in order to activate and use Super Cruise. 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.

How to use Super Cruise

As easy as 1, 2, 3 — enable Super Cruise hands-free driver technology in three simple steps. While enabled, Super Cruise works with Adaptive Cruise Control* to control acceleration and braking, and with OnStar to ensure that your vehicle receives the latest updates. It uses real-time precise positioning, cameras, sensors and LiDAR map data to help detect every curve, helping to make long drives comfortable and more convenient so you can arrive to your destination refreshed.

Step 1: Turn on 

Activate Super Cruise when the white Super Cruise icon appears on the instrument cluster.

Step 2: Lights on

When the Super Cruise icon and steering wheel indicator turn green, you’re ready to go hands-free.

Step 3: Hands off

Let go and enjoy the largest hands-free driving network in North America.

FAQs

What is Super Cruise?

Super Cruise* is a hands-free driver assistance technology for compatible roads. Super Cruise uses advanced technologies to provide the ease and convenience of hands-free driving. Your commute will never be the same.

Is Super Cruise driving the vehicle?

No. Super Cruise does not perform all aspects of driving nor does everything a driver can do. Super Cruise allows the driver to drive hands-free when compatible road driving conditions allow the feature to be available, but the driver still needs to pay close attention to the road. Even while using the Super Cruise driver assistance technology, drivers should always pay attention while driving and not use a hand-held device.

Are there any other limitations on using Super Cruise?

Super Cruise is not available when Teen Driver* is active. Additionally, Super Cruise should never be used under difficult or uncertain driving conditions. That includes never using it in construction zones, when lane markings are poor, when there is limited visibility, in a tunnel, on a road shoulder, service drive or lane exiting a freeway, or in slippery or other adverse conditions, including rain, sleet, fog, ice or snow.

How does Super Cruise work?

The Super Cruise driver assistance technology uses Global Positioning System (GPS) sensing, GPS-enhanced data, a high-precision map and a network of cameras to maintain automatic control of vehicle steering on compatible roads. 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 road to help the vehicle automatically steer and maintain lane position.

 

The system works with Adaptive Cruise Control*, which is designed to detect vehicles traveling in the same direction in its path and accelerate or brake the vehicle to maintain a driver-selected following gap time from a detected vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic conditions.

 

When engaged, Super Cruise utilizes a Driver Attention System. It provides feedback on system status while tracking the driver’s head position and using alerts that prompt the driver to pay close attention to the road and steer manually when needed.

How do I disengage Super Cruise?

To disengage Super Cruise, take control of the steering wheel and then press the Super Cruise button again, press the brake, or pull the Regen on Demand*. paddle. If you grab the steering wheel and press the brake pedal, Super Cruise and Adaptive Cruise Control will disengage.

Will Super Cruise steer to avoid safety situations, objects or any road impediments?

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, and stop for crossing traffic or a traffic light, a stop sign or other traffic control device. Super Cruise does not steer to avoid construction zones. Super Cruise is not a crash avoidance system and will not steer or brake to avoid a crash. Super Cruise does not steer to prevent a crash with stopped or slow-moving vehicles. You must supervise the driving task and may need to steer and brake to prevent a crash, especially in stop-and-go traffic or when a vehicle suddenly enters your lane.

How do I manually steer the vehicle when Super Cruise is engaged?

Just begin to steer and the light bar should pulse blue. Once you are ready for Super Cruise to steer again, center the vehicle in the lane and wait for the steering wheel light bar to turn green. You can remove your hands when the steering wheel light bar is green.

Do I pay attention if Super Cruise is engaged?

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.

I’m on a compatible road are there any other limitations on using Super Cruise?

Super Cruise is not available when Teen Driver* is active. Super Cruise will not brake the vehicle when approaching an intersection that is controlled by a traffic light or stop sign. Super Cruise will not detect vehicles crossing the road ahead, including at intersections, and will not automatically steer or brake to prevent a collision. You must manually brake and steer the vehicle. It is important that you always stay engaged and vigilant at all times when driving. Consult your Owner’s Manual for further limitations.

How does Super Cruise know how fast to go?

Super Cruise will use the Adaptive Cruise Control* set speed; however, if you have not set the Adaptive Cruise Control speed when Super Cruise is activated, it will use your current speed as the Adaptive Cruise Control set speed. Super Cruise also will slow down around sharp curves.

How and when does the map information used by Super Cruise update?

Super Cruise map information is updated periodically. 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. In order to get Super Cruise working again, you must either drive the vehicle long enough for the automatic updates via your OnStar service plan to take effect or visit a dealer to have a new map update downloaded to the vehicle for free. Wi-Fi® may be required for map updates. See your Owner’s Manual for details.

Who can service my Super Cruise System?

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 Chevrolet dealers have. Without these qualifications, the vehicle may become damaged.

When driving down a straight road with Super Cruise active, it feels like the vehicle is not in the center of the lane, or is too far to the right (or left), why?

Each individual has their own tendency of where they drive in a lane and where they perceive the center of the lane to be. Because we do not sit in the center of the vehicle, this can vary from driver to driver, and also depends on what type of vehicle is being driven based on how wide or tall the vehicle is. Super Cruise is designed to drive in the true center of the lane (+/- 4 inches or 10 cm). This may be different from where each individual normally drives and may give some drivers the feeling that they are too far to one side. In addition, in the Bolt EUV, Super Cruise does not move the vehicle to one side of the lane when passing traffic.
