WHAT IS SUPER CRUISE™?

Offered on 2022-2023 HUMMER EV Pickup; 2022-2023 Sierra 1500 Denali and Denali Ultimate; and 2023 Yukon Denali and Denali Ultimate, Super Cruise is the first true hands-free driver-assistance technology for compatible roads. 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. It’s safe to say your commutes will never be the same.

Automatic Lane Change and Lane Change on Demand not available while trailering. Always pay attention while driving and when using Super Cruise. Do not use a hand-held device.

Automatic Lane Change and Lane Change on Demand not available while trailering. Always pay attention while driving and when using Super Cruise. Do not use a hand-held device.

HOW SUPER CRUISE WORKS

HANDS-FREE DRIVING

CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY

SIMPLE INTERFACE

With an attentive driver, and under the proper conditions, Super Cruise can permit hands-free operation of the vehicle. Super Cruise technology works with Adaptive Cruise Control which can control acceleration and braking while it is enabled and operating to maintain a driver-selected following gap. Super Cruise functions with GMC Connected Services and uses real-time cameras, sensors, GPS and LiDAR map data to help detect curves, helping to make long drives and commutes more comfortable.


WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO USE SUPER CRUISE

GMC CONNECTED SERVICES

Super Cruise functionality is enabled by a data connection for real-time, precise positioning and periodic Super Cruise map updates. In order to operate Super Cruise, you must have an active and eligible GMC Connected Services plan. Super Cruise vehicles are also connected to OnStar® Emergency Services, so Emergency-Certified OnStar Advisors can assist drivers should they become nonresponsive while Super Cruise is active. 

All Super Cruise-equipped vehicles include 3 years of connectivity to support functionality, after which a Connected Services plan must be purchased.

DRIVER-ASSISTANCE FEATURES

The following features in your vehicle must be activated:
Adaptive Cruise Control is: ON
Forward Collision System is set to: ALERT AND BRAKE

The following feature in your vehicle must be deactivated:
Teen Driver is: OFF

DRIVING CONSIDERATIONS

Make sure that:

  • The vehicle is on a compatible road
  • Lane markings are clearly visible (lane markings may be obscured, for example, by glare or poor weather conditions)
  • Camera or radar sensors are not covered, obstructed or damaged
  • The Driver Attention Camera system detects that the driver is paying attention to the road ahead

COMMUTES. ROADTRIPS. AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN.

WHERE WILL SUPER CRUISE TAKE YOU?

Using LiDAR mapping technology, we’ve mapped over 200,000 miles in the U.S. and Canada, and counting, of compatible roads. Model year 2023 vehicles that are equipped with Super Cruise have access to over 400,000 miles of compatible roads including non-divided highways.

Coming soon, model year 2022 vehicles that are equipped with Super Cruise will also be eligible to drive on 400,000 miles of compatible roads via a Vehicle Software Update. Search the map below to explore the compatible roads in the U.S.

HOW TO USE SUPER CRUISE?

STEP 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 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.

STEP 2

When Super Cruise detects you are on a compatible road, paying sufficient attention and all other driving conditions are met (lane markings visible, GPS available, no system faults, etc.) a white Super Cruise symbol will display on the instrument cluster.

STEP 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 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.

STEP 4

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. When Automatic Lane Change is engaged, the gauge cluster will inform the driver when a lane change will occur and will gently guide the vehicle into a desired lane around the vehicle in its path. When Super Cruise is active, your vehicle will also change lanes if the current lane is ending, as well as pass (to the left) around slower moving vehicles and return to its original lane.

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. Or, if the desired lane is unavailable, it will notify the driver that merging must be manually completed. The system will display messages, such as “looking for an opening” or “changing lanes,” to keep the driver informed.


LEARNING THE ALERT SYSTEM

Drivers must pay attention to the road at all times. Our Driver Attention System with proprietary head pose and eye gaze 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.

FIRST ALERT

If the system detects that you may not be paying attention to the road ahead, the steering-wheel light bar flashes green to prompt you to return your attention to the road.

SECOND ALERT

If 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.

THIRD ALERT

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. Super Cruise and Adaptive Cruise Control will disengage.

MESSAGING

Super Cruise may not be available or may disengage when active based on several operating conditions. Use the Super Cruise button on the steering wheel to view Driver Information Center (DIC) messages about system operation. 

If the Super Cruise symbol does not appear, press the Super Cruise button to display a DIC message about why the system is unavailable. 

Immediately after Super Cruise disengagement, press the Super Cruise button (within 10 seconds) to display a DIC message with the reason for disengagement.

For more information and instances for why Super Cruise may be disengaged or unavailable on your vehicle, see question 7 in the FAQ section at the bottom of this page.

WHEN NOT TO USE SUPER CRUISE

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

  • During difficult or uncertain driving conditions
  • When lane markings are poor or visibility is limited
  • In construction zones
  • In slippery or in other adverse conditions, including rain, sleet, fog, ice or snow
  • On a road shoulder or service drive
  • On a freeway or highway exit lane 

NOTE: Consult your Owner’s Manual for more important information about Super Cruise.

FAQS

HOW DO I DISENGAGE SUPER CRUISE?

To disengage Super Cruise, first grab the steering wheel then press the Super Cruise button again or press the brake pedal. If you press the brake pedal, Super Cruise and Adaptive Cruise Control will disengage.

WILL SUPER CRUISE STEER TO AVOID SAFETY SITUATIONS, OBJECTS OR ANY ROAD IMPEDIMENTS?

No, Super Cruise will not steer to avoid safety situations, objects or road impediments. 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. Super Cruise does not steer to avoid construction zones.

HOW DO I MANUALLY STEER THE VEHICLE WHEN SUPER CRUISE IS ENGAGED?

Begin to steer by firmly taking control of the steering wheel and the light bar should pulse blue. 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. You can remove your hands when the steering wheel is green.

DO I PAY ATTENTION IF SUPER CRUISE IS ENGAGED?

It is important to always remember that Super Cruise is a convenience system and cannot accurately detect all situations. Super Cruise also cannot determine whether the driver is awake, asleep, impaired or properly focused on safe driving. Complete attention is always required while driving, even when using Super Cruise. The driver should always be prepared to take over steering or apply the brakes at any time.

HOW DOES SUPER CRUISE KNOW HOW FAST TO GO?

Super Cruise will use the Adaptive Cruise Control set speed, however if you have not set the Adaptive Cruise Control speed when Super Cruise has activated, it will use your current speed as the Adaptive Cruise Control set speed. In cases when vehicle speed is greater than the Set Speed or when Set Speed is above maximum allowed Super Cruise Speed, Set Speed will be equal to the vehicle speed. Super Cruise also will slow down around sharp curves.

HOW AND WHEN DOES THE MAP INFORMATION USED BY SUPER CRUISE UPDATE?

Super Cruise map information is updated periodically. Automatic updates via your GMC Connected Services plan will occur for the latest Super Cruise road availability information. In the event that a map update is not completed within seven months, Super Cruise will be disabled. In order to get Super Cruise working again, you must either drive the vehicle long enough for the automatic updates via your GMC Connected Services plan to take effect or visit the dealer to have a new map update downloaded to the vehicle for a fee. Wi-Fi may be required for map updates. See your owner's manual for details.

WHO CAN SERVICE MY SUPER CRUISE SYSTEM?

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 GMC dealers have. Without these qualifications the vehicle may become damaged.

I’M ON A COMPATIBLE ROAD ARE THERE ANY OTHER LIMITATIONS ON USING SUPER CRUISE?

Super Cruise is not available when Teen Driver is active.

Super Cruise will not brake the vehicle when approaching an intersection that is controlled by a traffic light or stop sign. Super Cruise will not detect vehicles crossing the road ahead, including at intersections, and will not automatically steer or brake to prevent a collision. You must manually brake and steer the vehicle. It is important that you always stay engaged and vigilant at all times while driving.
