How to use Super Cruise®

1. To use Super Cruise hands-free and Hands-On Steering Assist,* you must first enable both Adaptive Cruise Control* and Super Cruise. If you see the white illuminated Adaptive Cruise Control icon and the Super Cruise icon in the driver display, then these are enabled and ready to use on your drive.

2. To enable Adaptive Cruise Control, press the Adaptive Cruise Control button on the steering wheel. You will see a white Adaptive Cruise Control icon in the driver display when enabled. To enable Super Cruise and Hands-On Steering Assist, press the Super Cruise button on the steering wheel. If you have successfully enabled, you will see the Hands-On Steering Assist icon in white in the instrument cluster. You can enable both features while in Park or while driving. These could still be on from your last drive.

3. The system will help you take advantage of the highest level of driver assistance technology available. When driving, the driver display will show the hands-on icon in white for Hands-On Steering Assist availability or the Super Cruise icon in white for hands-free functionality when on a Super Cruise-compatible road.

4. To engage the feature, Adaptive Cruise Control must be engaged by pressing the SET+/RES- button, which sets the desired vehicle speed. Adaptive Cruise Control is engaged if you see a green illuminated icon with the set speed limit.  With Adaptive Cruise Control engaged (when you see this icon light up green) the driver display will either show:

a. (i) The Hands-On Steering Assist icon in green, telling you that Hands-On Steering Assist is engaged and actively providing lane-centering steering assist, or

b. (ii) The Super Cruise icon in green and the steering wheel lightbar will illuminate green, telling you that  Super Cruise hands-free functionality is engaged and actively providing hands-free assistance and you can let go of the steering wheel.  Never take your hands off the wheel until the steering wheel lightbar illuminates green.

1. Hands-On Steering Assist is designed to help keep your vehicle centered in the lane while Adaptive Cruise Control manages your desired speed and following distance from the vehicle ahead of you.

2. Hands-On Steering Assist is available on select 26MY vehicles and can be used on most roads with visible lane lines and provides hands-on driver assistance when Super Cruise hands-free compatible roads are unavailable.

3. You’ll see the Hands-On Steering Assist icon in your driver display letting you know the feature is working.

a. If the icon is white, the feature is enabled, but isn’t centering your vehicle in the lane.

4. If the system detects you aren’t paying attention to the road or you take your hands off the wheel, it will alert you.

5. Turning Super Cruise on will also enable Hands-On Steering Assist based on road compatibility. See “How to Turn Super Cruise On” for more details.

6. Hands-On Steering Assist only works if:

a. Your seat belt is buckled.

b. You’re on a road with painted and detectable lane lines.

c. Adaptive Cruise Control is engaged.

d. Super Cruise is enabled.

e. Your hands are on the wheel.

f. The system detects you’re paying attention to the road.

Some 26MY vehicles have a feature that detects nearby speed limit signs and can adjust your Adaptive Cruise Control set speed to the newly detected speed limit.

• Your vehicle must have the available Traffic Sign Recognition feature to use Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control
  
  
• You have to enable this in the Settings menu under “Collision and Detection” › “Adaptive Cruise Speed from Signs”

Do any of these:

1. Press the brake pedal.

2. Take control of the steering wheel.

3. On an EV, pull the Regen On Demand* paddle towards you.

4. Press the Super Cruise button again.

5. Press the Adaptive Cruise Control On/Off or Cancel buttons.

1. You can only use Super Cruise hands-free on compatible roads that have been mapped out by GM. Luckily, more than 600,000 miles of roads are compatible with Super Cruise, including both divided and non-divided highways.

a. Click here for a map of compatible roads.

b. Note: Chevrolet Bolt EUV, Cadillac XT6 and Cadillac CT6 are not eligible for this latest road expansion.

2. Certain vehicles can only use Super Cruise on divided highways. Look at the “Road Expansion” column of the Availability Chart for details.

3. A few other conditions have to be right for Super Cruise to work:

a. Your vehicle’s cameras have to be able to detect lane lines.

b. Weather conditions or dirt and mud can make it hard for the cameras to see lane lines.

c. Make sure the Super Cruise cameras and radars are clean.

d. Your Owner’s Manual can tell you where they are on your vehicle in the “Driving and Operating” section under “Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.”

e. The GPS system must be available.

When you enter a destination with Google built-in, Google Maps will highlight Super Cruise compatible roads and show how many minutes of your trip can be driven hands-free.

As you drive, Google Maps will clearly display where hands-free driving is available and when you’re leaving a compatible road. At the same time, Super Cruise will help keep you in the correct lane for your route and alert you when it’s time to take the wheel to exit.
