How the System Works

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Cadillac CT4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Driver Attention Camera

To ensure safety, drivers must pay attention to the road at all times. Our proprietary head tracking software helps make sure your eyes are on the road, and alerts you when you need to pay more attention or take back control.

Steering Wheel Light Bar

If the steering wheel light bar flashes green, the system has detected that the driver may not be paying sufficiently close attention. Refer to Driver Monitoring Description and Operation

The flashing will stop when the system detects that sufficiently close attention to the road has resumed. Refer to Lane Keep Assist Description and Operation

If the steering wheel light bar flashes green for too long, Super Cruise will alert the driver to take control of steering immediately by flashing the light bar red. Also, either beeps will sound or the Safety Alert Seat will vibrate. See "Collision/Detection Systems" under Vehicle Personalization in the Owner's Manual. Take over steering, then Super Cruise will disengage. To re-engage Super Cruise, press the Super Cruise button on the steering wheel.

If the steering wheel light bar flashes red for too long, a voice command will tell you to take control of the vehicle.

Take control of the steering immediately; Adaptive Cruise Control and Super Cruise will disengage.

A Driver Information Center (DIC) message will indicate that Super Cruise is locked out. Super Cruise cannot be re-engaged until the next ignition cycle.

Continued failure to take over steering will cause the vehicle to slow in your lane of travel and eventually brake to a stop and an OnStar® advisor will be called. The brake lights and hazard warning flashers will come on.
