Cadillac XT6 2023 SUPER CRUISE Convenience and Personalization Guide

The Cadillac XT6 2023 is a luxurious midsize SUV that boasts advanced features intended to provide drivers with a comfortable and convenient driving experience. Its Super Cruise technology is a standout feature, offering a hands-free driver assistance system that enables drivers to relax and enjoy the ride while the vehicle handles the driving. The Super Cruise system utilizes cameras, sensors, and GPS mapping to ensure safe and reliable operation. The XT6 also offers a range of personalization options, including customizable driver profiles and a personalized instrument cluster that allows drivers to customize their driving experience to their preferences. The combination of these innovative features delivers an exceptional driving experience that blends convenience, safety, and personalization.

SUPER CRUISE OPERATION

Super Cruise is a hands-free driver assistance technology for use on compatible roads. The system steers the vehicle to maintain lane position, under certain conditions, while also monitoring your attention to the road. Working with the Adaptive Cruise Control system, it reduces the need for you to frequently steer, brake or accelerate under available operating conditions. When Super Cruise is engaged, the vehicle’s real-time cameras, sensors, and GPS, used in conjunction with the precision LiDAR map data, keep the vehicle centered in its lane and traveling along the lane path while the driver’s hands are removed from the steering wheel. Always pay attention while driving and when using Super Cruise. Do not use a handheld device. Visit cadillacsupercruise.com for compatible roads and full details.

HOW SUPER CRUISE WORKS
Super Cruise driver assistance technology is available only on compatible roads that are separated from opposing traffic. The GPS uses real-time corrections and map data to determine the vehicle’s location while the Lane Sensing Camera detects the marked lanes on the road to help the vehicle steer and maintain lane position. The system works with Adaptive Cruise Control, which detects vehicles traveling in the same direction in your path and accelerates or brakes your vehicle to maintain a driver-selected following distance gap from a vehicle detected ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic conditions.
When engaged, Super Cruise provides feedback on system status using the steering wheel light bar and voice prompts while the Driver Attention Camera ensures the driver is paying attention to the road ahead. The steering wheel light bar intuitively provides a status of system operation, including when the system is steering and when you need to manually steer the vehicle. You can override Super Cruise at any time by steering, braking or accelerating.
In addition, by monitoring the driver’s head position and eye gaze, the Driver Attention Camera lets you know when you need to pay more attention to the road ahead. Alerts may prompt you to pay close attention to the road and steer manually when needed. To steer manually, hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands on the sensing areas, highlighted on the wheel below.

In situations in which the driver doesn’t respond to the series of Super Cruise alerts, the vehicle will come to a controlled stop in its lane and an OnStar advisor will be connected to the vehicle to provide support. Super Cruise will be disabled until the next ignition cycle.

SUPERCRUISE AVAILABILITY

Super Cruise can be engaged only when:

• Adaptive Cruise Control is on.
• The vehicle is on a compatible road, which generally only allows high-speed traffic and is separated from opposing traffic.
• Camera or radar sensors are not obstructed or damaged.
• Lane markings are clearly visible. Do not use Super Cruise in poor weather conditions or when visibility is limited.
• Driver attention is detected.
• Teen Driver is not active.

Super Cruise should not be used in complex or uncertain driving conditions, including: in construction zones; when approaching an intersection controlled with a traffic light, stop sign or other traffic control device; on winding or hilly roads; in tunnels; or in heavy traffic. Always make sure traffic conditions are safe before using Super Cruise.

ATTENTION ALERTS

DRIVER ATTENTION CAMERA
When the Super Cruise driver assistance technology is engaged, the Driver Attention Camera, located on top of the steering column, focuses on your attention to the road ahead. It works with infrared lights to track head position to determine where you are looking.

Note: The Driver Attention Camera does not record photos, audio or video.

1ST ALERT
If the system detects that you may not be paying attention suffi-ciently to the road ahead, the steering wheel light bar flashes green to prompt you to return your attention to the road.
The light bar will stop flashing when the system detects your attention to the road has resumed.
The Driver Attention Camera needs to see the driver’s entire face clearly. If the steering wheel light bar flashes green while you are paying sufficient attention, your face may be obstructed. It may be necessary to adjust the angle of the steering wheel and your seating position.

2ND ALERT
If the steering wheel light bar flashes green for too long and the system determines continued lack of attention to the road ahead, the steering wheel light bar flashes red to notify you to look at the road and steer the vehicle manually. Firmly hold the steering wheel with both hands on the sensing areas of the wheel.

The Safety Alert Seat also pulses or beeps sound (if selected). To change the Safety Alert Seat setting, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.
The vehicle will not accelerate while the light bar is flashing red.

The steering wheel light bar will also flash red when:

• Adaptive Cruise Control is canceled.
• The vehicle is on a tight curve or speed is too fast.
• Lane markings are poor or visibility is limited.
• The lane or highway ends.
• The vehicle is exiting the highway.
• There is a system fault.

3RD ALERT
If the steering wheel light bar flashes red for too long, a voice prompt will be heard. You should take over steering immediately; otherwise, the vehicle will slow in your lane of travel and eventually brake to a stop. Super Cruise and Adaptive Cruise Control will disengage. In the event of an unresponsive driver, the vehicle will come to a controlled stop in its lane, activate the hazard lights, and contact an OnStar Emergency-Certified Advisor.

CHANGING LANES
The vehicle can be steered manually at any time when the Super Cruise driver assistance technology is engaged.

1. Verify the next lane is clear and conditions are safe to make a lane change.
2. Move the steering wheel manually by holding the steering wheel with both hands on the sensing areas of the wheel. The steering wheel light bar pulses blue.
3. Steer the vehicle into the desired lane.
4. To allow Super Cruise to resume steering, center the vehicle in the lane until the light bar turns green.

MAP DATABASE UPDATES
Super Cruise driver assistance technology uses a LiDAR-scanned map database, which restricts system use to compatible roads. Super Cruise map updates and GPS enhancement data are automatically downloaded to the vehicle. Super Cruise will be disabled if updates do not occur and the map reaches 7 months old. Disabling the vehicle’s Wi-Fi or Location Services in the Settings menu on the infotainment screen will disable automatic map updates. In addition to the automatic updates, your Cadillac dealer can upload the latest Super Cruise map to the vehicle.
