SUPER CRUISE OPERATION
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 prevent crashes or warn of possible crashes.
• Does not steer to avoid stopped or slow-moving vehicles, crosstraffic, construction barriers or cones, motorcycles, children,
pedestrians, animals, or other objects on the road.
• Does not steer in response to vehicles or objects next to your
vehicle, including vehicles attempting to enter your lane.
• Does not respond to traffic lights, stop signs, or other traffic
control devices.
• Does not respond to crossing traffic.
• Does not change lanes or make turns.
• Does not steer to merge onto or to exit highways.
• Does not steer to avoid or steer through construction zones.
It's extremely important that you pay attention to the operation of
the vehicle, even while using Super Cruise. Always be prepared to
take over operation of the vehicle at all times.
Super Cruise is a hands-free driver assistance feature for use on
compatible highways. The system steers the vehicle to maintain
lane position while also monitoring your attention to the road.
Working with the Adaptive Cruise Control–Advanced system, it
reduces the need for you to frequently steer, brake or accelerate
under a vailable operating conditions.
To maintain automatic control of vehicle steering during highway driving, Super Cruise uses Global Positioning System (GPS)
sensing, GPS-enhanced data, a high precision map, and a network
of cameras.
Even while using the Super Cruise driver assistance feature, always
pay attention while driving and do not use a hand-held device.
Visit cadillacsupercruise.com for compatible highways and more
information.
HOW SUPER CRUISE WORKS
The Super Cruise driver assistance feature is available only on compatible highways 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 highway to help the vehicle automatically steer and maintain
lane position.
The system works with Adaptive Cruise Control–Advanced, which
detects vehicles traveling in the same direction in your path and
accelerates or brakes your vehicle to maintain a driver-selected
following gap 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.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.

DATA DOWNLOADS
Map database updates and GPS enhancement data are downloaded
to the vehicle using the vehicle’s 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. If a mobile
device with its own Wi-Fi hotspot uses the same SSID and password
as the vehicle, the vehicle may connect to the mobile device to
download the data.
To prevent downloading using a mobile device data plan, use a
different SSID and password for the vehicle’s Wi-Fi hotspot and the
mobile device, or disable the Wi-Fi hotspot of the mobile device
when inside the vehicle.

SYSTEM CARE
The Super Cruise driver assistance feature operates using the front
radars, front camera, and Surround Vision cameras. Keep the surfaces of these systems clean for proper Super Cruise operation.
The lens cover of the Driver Attention Camera on the steering
column may need to be cleaned occasionally. Clean the lens cover
with a soft cloth sprayed with glass cleaner.
Note: We recommend any required service on the Super Cruise system be
performed by an authorized Cadillac dealer.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner’s Manual.
USING SUPER CRUISE
RESPONSIBLY
Super Cruise is a driver assistance feature. Your complete attention
is always required while driving since unexpected automatic steering or braking may occur if the system does not correctly detect
lanes, vehicles or traffic situations ahead, or if situations occur
that the system cannot detect, including cross-traffic. Do not use a
hand-held device while driving, even with Super Cruise engaged.
The system is designed to maintain the current lane. You need to
take control to change lanes, 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. Super Cruise does not steer to avoid construction zones.
The system does not detect if you are drowsy or focused on safe
driving. Always be ready to take action and take over steering or
apply the brakes.
Some state and local laws may not permit hands-free driving. In
these locations, use Super Cruise by lightly holding the steering
wheel at all times. Always know the rules in your area.
Super Cruise is available on additional roads for the 2020 model
year, including areas of divided highways that have limited crossings. Under certain conditions, such as when approaching an intersection, Super Cruise uses the high precision map to hand control
of the vehicle back to you. It is important that you always stay
engaged and vigilant at all times while driving.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
We recommend always using ACDelco or genuine GM service parts.
Certain restrictions, precautions and safety procedures apply to your vehicle. Please
