SUPER CRUISE OPERATION
Super Cruise is a hands-free driver assistance technology
for use on compatible roads. The system steers the vehicle
to maintain lane position or to perform a lane change, under
certain conditions, while also monitoring your attention to
the road. Working with the Adaptive Cruise Control system,
it reduces the need for you to frequently steer, brake or
accelerate under available operating conditions.
When Super Cruise is engaged, the vehicle’s real-time cameras,
sensors, and GPS, used in conjunction with the precision LiDAR
map data, keep the vehicle centered in its lane and traveling
along the lane path while the driver’s hands are removed from
the steering wheel.
Super Cruise can be used while trailering (if properly equipped).
Specific calibrations are designed to account for additional
drag and increased braking distance. Lane Change on Demand
and Automatic Lane Change are not available when trailering.
Always pay attention while driving and when using Super
Cruise. Do not use a handheld device. For compatible roads
and full details, visit cadillac.com/supercruise.
Note: Operation requires an active and eligible Connected Services
plan, working electrical system, cell reception, and GPS signal.
HOW SUPER CRUISE WORKS
Super Cruise driver assistance technology is available only 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 steer and maintain lane position.
The system works with Adaptive Cruise Control, which detects
vehicles traveling in the same direction in your path and
accelerates or brakes your vehicle to maintain a driver- selected
following distance
gap from a vehicle
detected ahead,
even in stopand-go traffic
conditions.
When engaged,
Super Cruise
indicators and
messages on
the instrument
cluster, along
with the steering
wheel light
bar and voice
CT5-V shown
prompts, provide
feedback on
system status,
while the Driver
Attention Camera
ensures the driver
is paying 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
LYRIQ shown
steer the vehicle. You can override Super Cruise at any time by
steering, braking or accelerating.

SUPER CRUISE OPERATION ENGAGING SUPER CRUISE
In addition, by monitoring the driver's head position and eye
gaze, the Driver Attention Camera lets you know when you need
to pay more attention to the road ahead. Alerts may prompt
you to pay close attention to the road and steer manually when
needed.
To steer manually, hold the steering wheel firmly with both
hands on the sensing areas, highlighted below, on the
wheel.
In situations in
which the driver
doesn't respond to
the series of Super
Cruise alerts, the
vehicle will come
to a controlled
stop in its lane
and an OnStar
EmergencyCertified Advisor
will be connected
to the vehicle to
provide support.
Super Cruise will
be disabled until
the next ignition
cycle.
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.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.

USING SUPER CRUISE
RESPONSIBLY
Super Cruise is a driver assistance technology. Your complete
attention is always required while driving since unexpected
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 steer around a traffic situation or object,
merge into traffic, make a turn, and exit the road. You must also
stop the vehicle for crossing traffic and at a traffic light, stop
sign or other traffic-control device. 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.
Super Cruise:
• Does not prevent crashes or warn of possible crashes.
• Does not steer to avoid stopped or slow-moving vehicles,
cross-traffic, 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 or oncoming traffic.
• Does not make turns.
• Does not steer to merge onto or to exit roads.
• Does not steer to avoid or steer through construction
zones.
•
Does not function in city driving conditions.
USING SUPER CRUISE
RESPONSIBLY
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, including areas
of divided roads 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.
SYSTEM CARE
Super Cruise driver assistance technology operates using
the front and rear radars, front camera, and Surround Vision
cameras. Keep the surfaces of these systems clean for proper
Super Cruise operation.
Clean the lens cover of the Driver Attention Camera on the
steering column with a soft cloth sprayed with glass cleaner as
needed.
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.
