Chevrolet is helping change the way people get from point A to point B with the help of GM Super Cruise – the first advanced driver assistance system to offer a truly hands-free driving experience in North America. This cutting-edge technology is available on select Chevrolet models and allows you to relax during long commutes or road trips. Keep reading for answers to the most common Super Cruise questions.
How does Super Cruise work?
Super Cruise utilizes LiDAR mapping, GPS maps, cameras, and radars to build upon the adaptive cruise control system already in your vehicle, taking it several steps further. With Super Cruise, you simply set your desired speed, then take your foot off the accelerator and your hands off the wheel. All you have to do is keep your eye on the road, and your Chevy will do the rest.
Can I use Super Cruise on the highway?
Yes. In fact, Super Cruise is most effective on divided highways with clearly marked lanes. Currently, more than 240 million miles of roadways are compatible with Super Cruise in the United States and Canada. That’s the largest network for any semi-autonomous driving system authorized in the U.S., and efforts are underway to expand it. In the area surrounding Naples, FL, you can currently use Super Cruise when traveling along I-75, route 41, and several stretches of county roads near Pelican Marsh and Picayune Strand State Forest.
How often is Super Cruise’s map information updated?
The map information in your vehicle will be automatically updated via your OnStar subscription whenever new information is available.
How do I turn on Super Cruise?
Turning on Super Cruise is simple. First, activate Adaptive Cruise Control. The system will ensure that all of the requirements for a safe, hands-free driving experience are met, and then the Super Cruise symbol will become illuminated in white. Press the Super Cruise button and wait for the lightbar on your steering wheel to turn green. Once it does, you’ll be able to take your hands off the wheel and relax.
What services do I need to use Super Cruise?
For starters, you’ll need a Chevrolet model that is equipped with Super Cruise. You can visit us at Rick Hendrick Chevrolet Naples to find a model that has that and more. Then, make sure you have an active OnStar Super Cruise subscription. Before you attempt to use Super Cruise, set your Forward Collision System to ALERT AND BRAKE, and make sure all of your Teen Driver features are completely turned off.
