Get On an Approved Highway: Super Cruise works on over 200,000 kilometres of compatible highways across Canada and the United States. Make sure you are on one of these before trying to activate the system.
Set Adaptive Cruise Control: Before activating Super Cruise, engage the adaptive cruise control system. This sets your preferred speed and maintains a safe distance from vehicles ahead.
Press the Super Cruise Button: Located on the steering wheel, pressing this button when conditions allow will initiate Super Cruise. You’ll see prompts in the gauge cluster indicating that it’s ready to take over steering.
Wait for the Green Light: The top of your steering wheel will glow green to indicate that Super Cruise is active, and you can take your hands off the wheel—monitoring your surroundings and being prepared to take over if necessary remains crucial.
Perform Hands-Free Lane Changes (If Desired): Activate your turn signal (blinker) to tell Super Cruise you want to change lanes; it assesses traffic conditions before automating a lane change safely.

Use Turn Signal for Pausing Auto-Steer During Manual Lane Change: If you prefer handling lane changes yourself while using Super Cruise for long drives, signal your intention by engaging the turn signal, make your lane change, then let go of the turn signal and Super Cruise will resume its auto-steering functionality after completion.
Adjust Settings Through Vehicle’s Touch Screen (If Necessary): Some drivers prefer disabling automatic lane changes through their vehicle’s settings menu for personalized experiences; this can be done easily on your vehicle’s infotainment screen located in the center dashboard area.
