GMC vehicles that are equipped with Super Cruise can drive on over 400,000 miles of compatible roads in the U.S. and Canada. Use the map below to search for compatible U.S. roads for your next trip. You need to take control to steer around a traffic situation or object, merge into traffic, exit the highway, make a turn, stop for crossing traffic or a traffic light, a stop sign or other traffic control device.
Hundreds of thousands of additional miles of roads in the U.S. and Canada can be explored hands-free
When it's available, and the road markings are reasonably maintained, Super Cruise is excellent. It happened at the end of this journey, telling us to consult the manual. Super Cruise reset when the car was turned off and left overnight. The next day we drove through some rain and sleet, and there we got warnings that the sensors were blocked and Super Cruise wouldn't work. We thought the cat's eyes would help now as they are only effective at night, but it didn't appear so. After that, Super Cruise made what's usually a tedious yet stressful drive easier.
FEATURES
Another new feature for model year 2024 is collaborative steering. Previously if a driver took the wheel while Super Cruise was in green state (automatically steering) it would switch the mode to blue and then resume once the vehicle is centered in the lane again. The updated system will stay in green state while the driver can steer to avoid a pothole or other obstacle and then continue as soon as the wheel is released. While that isn’t as much as the 2 million miles that were planned for the next-generation Ultra Cruise system that was originally scheduled to launch this year, it’s still several times more than another hands-free system. GM recently announced it was canceling Ultra Cruise without giving much detail, but it’s likely there were significant concerns about safety of operating in cities.
ONSTAR
Newly offered on select Super Cruise-equipped™† vehicles, available automatic lane change functionality† allows your vehicle to change lanes without any input from the driver while Super Cruise™ is active. For Lane Change on Demand, when the driver activates the turn signal, the system will look for an acceptable opening in the indicated lane and alert other vehicles that a lane change is imminent. If the indicated lane is determined to be open, the vehicle will merge into the desired lane. If a suitable opening is detected, Super Cruise will automatically initiate the turn signal and change lanes without the driver doing anything other than paying attention to the road. 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.

As the road network is expanded, Craig explained that the process starts with DMP doing a road survey in a region, such as southeast Michigan. GM then goes through the new data, classifying different road types and then engineers go out and test the system on those roads to determine which categories are suitable for safe operation. Based on those category selections, DMP then goes and maps similar roads throughout the country. Once everything is validated, updates get pushed to customers. The only Super Cruise equipped vehicles that won’t get updated are those with the first generation version, the Cadillac CT6 and XT6 and the Chevrolet Bolt EUV.
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 by firmly taking control of the steering wheel. Also, beeps will sound or the Safety Alert Seat, if equipped, will vibrate. Available Super Cruise† is the first true hands-free driving-assistance feature for compatible highways.Super Cruise utilizes advanced technologies to provide the ease and convenience of hands-free driving. Thanks to Lane Change on Demand† and Automatic Lane Change,† even changing lanes† is hands-free. When the symbol and the steering wheel light bar illuminate in green, you may remove your hands from the steering wheel. You should not remove your hands from the steering wheel unless the light bar is green, which lets you know Super Cruise is steering the vehicle.

• The vehicle is traveling faster than 137 km/h (85 mph). • The vehicle is traveling more than 16 km/h (10 mph) over the road speed limit on super cruise capable non-divided road.• The maximum Super Cruise speed in curves will vary based on how sharp the curve is. 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. In order to control acceleration and braking and maintain a driver-selected following gap time with Super Cruise, both Adaptive Cruise Control† and Forward Collision Alert† must be active. Lane-CenteringSuper Cruise vehicles are equipped with a series of cameras and sensors that identify lane markings to keep you centered in your lane while driving hands-free.

Real-time cameras, sensors and GPS, along with LiDAR precision map data, work in tandem to detect every curve, helping the vehicle stay centered in the lane and elevating the comfort and convenience of your commute. I started with simple cruise control and adaptive braking, which is pretty handy for giving your foot a rest on the highway. Then, at the touch of a button, the light bar on the steering wheel illuminated blue and then green, and Super Cruise was happening. The electric automaker’s Full Self-Driving program is operational on local roads and residential streets and purports to handle more complex situations like roundabouts, traffic lights, and four-way stops.
Trailering with Super Cruise
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. Do not remove your hands from the steering wheel unless the light bar is green, which indicates that Super Cruise is steering the vehicle. To disengage Super Cruise™, press the Super Cruise™ button again or press the brake pedal.
It will accelerate, brake, cruise, and steer for you on a supported highway. We've experienced Super Cruise a few times but rarely take press cars on long freeway trips. So, when this writer was charged with driving to Las Vegas to drive McLaren's new supercar, Cadillac was good enough to supply an XT6 so we could spend quality time with Super Cruise on the four-and-a-half-hour road trip. GM has done impressive work creating a system that safely and efficiently makes driving less taxing, essentially letting the driver monitor highway maneuvers and take over when necessary.
• The Super Cruise system has determined that the vehicle is not centered in the lane lines. 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. If you grab the steering wheel AND press the brake pedal, Super Cruise and Adaptive Cruise Control will disengage. • The DAS system detects that the driver is not looking at the road. Still, we would want the Lane Change on Demand ability as it completes the package and experience. It's an expensive option, so we would consider how often we would use Super Cruise before committing and look at the map on Chevrolet's website and make sure the roads we use regularly are covered or will be covered in the future.
The result was being more alert and attentive for a longer duration and not suddenly feeling like it was time for rest stops. Instead, it was a case of "Oh, I could use a coffee and a snack," not, "I need a break." In light traffic on a reasonably maintained road, Super Cruise went for an hour smoothly without fault. One thing that really stands out is something the YDU didn’t do, which is leave me feeling totally exhausted upon arrival at our lodgings after some 14 hours on the road. That says a ton for both the comfy interior and certainly for Super Cruise. It’s pretty awesome to endure such a punishing drive and wake up the next morning refreshed and ready to tackle a mountain.
Use the Super Cruise button on the steering wheel to view Driver Information Center (DIC) messages about system operation. 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). This may be different from where each individual normally drives and may give some drivers the feeling that they are too far to one side. In addition, in the Bolt EUV, Super Cruise does not move to one side of the lane when passing traffic.
If an Adaptive Cruise Control speed was not previously set, Super Cruise will set your current speed as the cruise speed. Please check your Owner’s Manual for more information about features. 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).
