How does Super Cruise Work?

Super Cruise is a state-of-the-art driver assistance feature available on certain new Cadillac models. If you have never experienced Super Cruise before, you are missing out! Come experience Super Cruise today at Landers Chevrolet Cadillac of Joplin, Missouri!

Cadillac’s Super Cruise system is the first true hands-free driving assistance feature for compatible highways. Unlike other driver assistance systems, Super Cruise utilizes two advanced technologies to provide the ease and convenience of hands-free driving. Your highway commute will never be the same. The Super Cruise feature is available on all 2019 and 2020 CT6 models.

An important aspect to note is that 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. Requires active OnStar plan, active WiFi Hotspot, working electrical system, cell reception, and GPS signal.

Super Cruise works by controlling the gas, brake, and steering to make sure you continue driving down your path without much interaction from the driver. The driver still must pay attention but you can limit your inputs to have a semi-autonomous driving experience.

If you have a Super Cruise-equipped vehicle, here are the steps needed to activate the system.

1. In order to use Super Cruise, first press the Adaptive Cruise Control button on the steering wheel to turn on Adaptive Cruise Control. The 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.
2. When Super Cruise detects you are on a compatible highway, paying sufficient attention, and all other driving conditions are met (lane markings visible, GPS available, no system faults, etc.), the Super Cruise symbol will illuminate in WHITE on the instrument cluster.
3. 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 illuminates in GREEN, you may remove your hands from the steering wheel. Do not remove your hands from the steering wheel unless the light bar is green, indicating Super Cruise is steering the vehicle. To disengage Super Cruise, press the Super Cruise button again or press the brake pedal.

Make sure that you only activate Super Cruise on compatible highways where lane markings are clearly visible (lane markings may be obscured, for example, by glare or poor weather conditions). Also, make sure the camera or radar sensors are not covered, obstructed, or damaged, and that the Driver Attention Camera system detects that the driver appears attentive.

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

• When you’re not on a compatible highway separated from opposing traffic
• During difficult or uncertain driving conditions
• When lane markings are poor or visibility is limited
• In a tunnel or construction zones
• In slippery or other adverse conditions, including rain, sleet, fog, ice, or snow
• On a road shoulder or service drive
• When towing a trailer
• Super Cruise is not designed to operate in a freeway or highway exit lane
