Super Cruise is not available when Teen Driver* is active. Additionally, Super Cruise should never be used under difficult or uncertain driving conditions. That includes never using it in construction zones, when lane markings are poor, when there is limited visibility, in a tunnel, on a road shoulder, service drive or lane exiting a freeway, or in slippery or other adverse conditions, including rain, sleet, fog, ice or snow.
The Super Cruise driver assistance technology uses Global Positioning System (GPS) sensing, GPS-enhanced data, a high-precision map and a network of cameras to maintain automatic control of vehicle steering 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 automatically steer and maintain lane position.
The system works with Adaptive Cruise Control*, which is designed to detect vehicles traveling in the same direction in its path and accelerate or brake the vehicle to maintain a driver-selected following gap time from a detected vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic conditions.
When engaged, Super Cruise utilizes a Driver Attention System. It provides feedback on system status while tracking the driver’s head position and using alerts that prompt the driver to pay close attention to the road and steer manually when needed.
To disengage Super Cruise, take control of the steering wheel and then press the Super Cruise button again, press the brake, or pull the Regen on Demand*. paddle. If you grab the steering wheel and press the brake pedal, Super Cruise and Adaptive Cruise Control will disengage.
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, and stop for crossing traffic or a traffic light, a stop sign or other traffic control device. Super Cruise does not steer to avoid construction zones. Super Cruise is not a crash avoidance system and will not steer or brake to avoid a crash. Super Cruise does not steer to prevent a crash with stopped or slow-moving vehicles. You must supervise the driving task and may need to steer and brake to prevent a crash, especially in stop-and-go traffic or when a vehicle suddenly enters your lane.
Just begin to steer 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 light bar to turn green. You can remove your hands when the steering wheel light bar is green.
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. 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.
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 when driving. Consult your Owner’s Manual for further limitations.
Super Cruise will use the Adaptive Cruise Control* set speed; however, if you have not set the Adaptive Cruise Control speed when Super Cruise is activated, it will use your current speed as the Adaptive Cruise Control set speed. Super Cruise also will slow down around sharp curves.
Super Cruise map information is updated periodically. Automatic updates via your OnStar 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 OnStar service plan to take effect or visit a dealer to have a new map update downloaded to the vehicle for free. Wi-Fi® may be required for map updates. See your Owner’s Manual for details.
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 Chevrolet dealers have. Without these qualifications, the vehicle may become damaged.
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 the vehicle to one side of the lane when passing traffic.

- I am a senior driving a 2011 Civic EX-L bought new,which has given me very little trouble,almost all only minor stuff. I would like to try an EV before I have to hang up my keys. I love FWD,and after owning 2,including my Civic,I can report I have never gotten stuck in winter in either car. My last RWD ride got me stuck in the back lane numerous times, in spite of having studded tires,and sandbags in the trunk. I am looking mainly for an around town car,with the occasional trip of a few hundred miles. Tesla is not an option,as the base model is RWD. The Equinox looks like it checks all the boxes for my needs.
- Bought a 2024 new 3RS AWD, white w/black roof. Wife loves it. We have had 3 Chevy Volts (a 2012, traded it in on a new 2017 Volt and this Volt was traded in on the Equinox). We have a 3rd Volt in our winter home in Florida and a 2022 KIA NIRO PHEV for our 2nd car in PA. The KIA only gets 27miles on a charge but it gets 49.5mpg on gas. It is now 4 yrs old and has 2200 miles on it..... So far, the 2024 3RS Equinox fits my retired wifes driving needs perfectly and w/no gas costs, is about 80% cheaper than an ICE version. We live outside of Pittsburgh where there are no straight roads except the Interstates and we don't do long trips so even though the SuperCruise is really cool, didn't need it and it wasn't on the 3RS that we bought in 8/24 anyway.

- I feel like he is essentially complaining about nothing with this car. I don't need heated seats. I don't need dual or tri-zone climate control. I don't need features that the average 40,0000 to 50,000 vehicle has. That's not why I'm buying a $30,000 electric suv. I'm buying it to get me around, while being more energy efficient, but still being a comfortable and well-built vehicle to drive. Have people gotten this spoiled when it comes to cars nowadays? That if it doesn't have apple carplay or heated seats, it's considered an inconvenience? Good grief, far be it from me to be this type of customer.
