Attention to the Road
{
Warning
Super Cruise is a driver assistance
system and cannot accurately
detect or predict all situations.
Super Cruise is not a crash
avoidance system. To prevent
serious injur y or death, you must
supervise the driving task and
monitor the road conditions. You
may need to respond to traffic
events by steering, braking,
or accelerating. See Defensive
Driving 0 227. Super Cruise also
cannot determine whether you are
awake, asleep, impaired, or properly
focused on safe driving. The vehicle
could crash into other vehicles,
drive out of the lane, or drive off
the road. Complete attention is
always required while driving, even
while using Super Cruise. Be
prepared to take over steering or
apply the brakes at any time.
