With the ability to log miles with ease and convenience, Super Cruise will take any commute or road trip to a whole new level. That’s why Super Cruise has been enhanced for the new Sierra Denali and Denali Ultimate to function while trailering. The technology is compatible with trailers up to the allowable weight limits of both trucks (Lane Change on Demand and Automatic Lane Change are not available while trailering). Drivers must always pay attention to the road while using Super Cruise. Otherwise, the Driver Attention System will initiate three separate prompts until the driver returns their attention to the road.

These are some of the situations when Super Cruise should not be activated:

If equipped with Lane Change on Demand, you are able to prompt the system to change lanes for you. 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. When it is safe to do so, press the Super Cruise button on the steering wheel to engage Super Cruise. When the symbol and steering-wheel light bar illuminate in green, you may remove your hands from the steering wheel.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE

Soon drivers will be able to drive hands-free between more rural towns across the country — connecting families and destinations alike. Adding minor highways to the network gives Super Cruise customers more variety and better coverage of hands-free driving, regardless of where they live, work or vacation. We expect this to excite Super Cruise customers, particularly those with compatible trailers who camp, boat, and use recreational vehicles. It is important to always remember that Super Cruise cannot accurately detect all situations.

WHERE WILL HANDS-FREE DRIVING TAKE YOU?

The driver can then press the Super Cruise button on the steering wheel when it is safe to do so. Once the Super Cruise symbol and light bar on the steering wheel turn green, and the vehicle is centered in the lane, the driver can remove their hands from the wheel. 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.

These enhancements will be available on select model year 2022 Super Cruise enabled vehicles, including Cadillac Escalade4, Cadillac CT45, Cadillac CT56, Chevrolet Silverado7, GMC HUMMER EV Pickup8 and GMC Sierra9. The new roads have already started to be added incrementally over-the-air, at no additional charge, and will continue to be added through 2025. Most Super Cruise-equipped vehicles will receive this expansion except for the Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Bolt EUV and Cadillac XT6.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY VEHICLE HAS LANE CHANGE ON DEMAND?

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. 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. If the steering wheel light bar flashes green for too long and the system determines continued lack of attention to the road ahead, the steering wheel light bar flashes red to notify you to look at the road and steer the vehicle manually.

The Adaptive Cruise Control symbol will illuminate in white on the instrument cluster. If Adaptive Cruise Control is already set, the symbol will be green with a speed shown. 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).

Once the vehicle has been centered in the lane lines, the white Super Cruise steering wheel icon will display in the instrument cluster indicating that Super Cruise is available. Super Cruise’s head-tracking software helps make sure your eyes are on the road, and it alerts you when you need to pay more attention or take back control. 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. When the Super Cruise Symbol and steering wheel indicator turn green, you’re ready to go hands-free. With over 140 million miles of hands-free driving in our rearview mirror, Super Cruise is leading the charge into the future of how we drive.

Once the maneuver is completed, the driver can remove their hands from the wheel once the vehicle is centered in the lane and the steering wheel light bar turns green.
