What is CADILLAC Super Cruise™?

Cadillac Super Cruise™ technology allows you to experience high-precision hands-free driving on more than 130,000 miles of LiDAR-mapped highways and interstates in the U.S.—and more miles are being added every day. Cadillac hands-free driving technology is available on new models like the CT4, the CT5, and the Escalade—and many more models will join the hands-free driving Cadillac fleet within the next few years! That means there’s never been a better time for Peoria-area drivers to find out how their Cadillac Super Cruise™ works. Then, if you’re interested in testing out this technology for yourself, we encourage you to visit a Cadillac dealer near you!

How Does This CADILLAC Hands-Free Driving System Work?

The goal of Super Cruise™ technology is to facilitate hands-free driving up to 95% of the time, and they’re getting closer and closer to that goal. Here’s a detailed look at how Cadillac hands-free driving works:

• Before you ever get behind the wheel, Cadillac creates highly detailed, precision LiDAR maps of roads where the feature will be enabled.
• This data is combined with GPS information, along with data from your vehicle’s cameras and sensors, to predict the flow of the road and help you reach your destination safely.

By mapping their Super Cruise™ roads in advance, Cadillac has created a hands-free driving technology that works “better than Tesla’s Autopilot.” That’s according to the experts at Motor Trend, who have hands-on experience with both systems.

Of course, Cadillac has always been a leader where innovative driving technology is concerned. If you’ve ever experienced Magnetic Ride Control on the roads of Morton and Bloomington, then you already know exactly what we mean.

How to Use Super Cruise™

So, you’re in a vehicle that possesses Super Cruise™ technology and OnStar Connected Services. You’ve made your way onto a highway that has been mapped out for Super Cruise™ in advance. How do you activate the feature and enjoy hands-free driving in your Cadillac? Simply follow the instructions outlined below:

1. Activate Adaptive Cruise Control by pressing the button on your steering wheel. When you set your speed, the indicator will change from white to green.
2. If you are on a road that has been approved for Super Cruise™ driving, and all the independent conditions are met, the Super Cruise™ indicator will appear in white on your dashboard.
• These independent conditions include visible lane markings, available GPS data, an absence of system faults, and an attentive driver.
3. After the Super Cruise™ indicator light appears in white, you can press the Super Cruise™ steering wheel button to engage the feature. Do not remove your hands from the steering wheel until the light bar—which should appear on your dashboard immediately—turns green.
4. Once engaged, the system will control your speed, create adequate distance between your vehicle and others, and keep you centered in your lane.
5. Lane Change on Demand technology: Just set your turn indicator, and the system will find a time and a place to move you into your lane of choice.
6. You can resume normal driving by pressing the Super Cruise™ button or applying the brake.
