Chevy SuperCruise 

Teslas aren’t the only vehicles with hands-free driving assistance. Chevy SuperCruise is currently being offered on the latest Chevy vehicles. This lets you take your hands off the wheel on compatible roads. It uses Precision Lidar-mapped data, plus real-time camera sensors and GPS that keep the vehicle in its lane. The adaptive cruise control takes over the braking and acceleration to ensure your vehicle stays at a reasonable following distance.  

You might be wondering, “How do I turn it on?”

Using Chevy SuperCruise 

1. The first step to using SuperCruise is turning it on by pressing the adaptive cruise control button and looking for the icon on the driver information center. The option will show up in white on the display. If the speed is already set, the icon will turn green along with the chosen speed. 
2. Next, center your vehicle so the SuperCruise symbol turns white. 
3. Then, press the SuperCruise button on the steering wheel. Don’t take your hands off the steering wheel until the light bar turns green. 
4. Once you see the green light, SuperCruise is activated. Also, if you didn’t set your speed previously, SuperCruise will automatically set your current speed as the cruise speed. When you need to take over driving, just place your hands back on the steering wheel and start to steer. You will then see the green light bar flash blue. When you want to return to SuperCruise, center the vehicle in its lane and wait for the bar to turn green. 

Next, let’s go over how to turn it off. 

Turning Off the Chevy SuperCruise 

Turning Chevy SuperCruise off is quite simple. You will need to press the SuperCruise button again, step on the brakes, or pull down the Regen on Demand paddle.

NOTE: Even though Chevy SuperCruise is driving for you, you must always be attentive. 

If the system needs to be turned off and you need to take over quickly, the same bar will flash red and alert you with a beeping noise. If you don’t respond or are unsure what to do, Chevy SuperCruise will play a voiceover notifying you that you need to take over. If there is still no response, it will automatically steer and brake and contact help from OnStar. 

Can Chevy SuperCruise Be Used anytime? 

No. Chevy SuperCruise can only be used if: 

-A Chevy vehicle is on a suitable road, away from traffic 
-Camera and sensors are working properly 
-Lane markings are evident.
