It’s not just curves and travel speed that Super Cruise is capable of handling for the Sierra Denali and Denali Ultimate.
Drivers can also let Super Cruise do the work of changing lanes when traveling on a compatible road.
For example, if the vehicle is traveling on a divided freeway at a set speed of 65–70 mph and is behind someone traveling 60 mph, the system’s Automatic Lane Change when enabled will look for an opening once the following gap is shortened. If a suitable opening is detected, Super Cruise will automatically initiate the turn signal andchange lanes without the driver doing anything other than paying attention to the road.
If no opening is detected, Super Cruise will slow the vehicle to a minimum gap distance until an opening is found.
Drivers can also opt to use the turn signal for Lane Change on Demand. When the turn signal is activated by the driver, the system will look for an acceptableopening in the desired lane and alert other vehicles that a lane change is imminent. The vehicle will change into the desired lane if an opening is detected. If the lane is unavailable, the driver will be notified that changing into a lane must be completed manually. The system will display messages like “looking for an opening” or “changing lanes.”
When a driver initiates a manual lane change, they need only take control of the wheel. The light bar on the steering wheel will automatically change color from green to blue. Once the maneuver is completed, the driver can remove their hands from the wheel once the vehicle is centered in the lane and the steering wheel light bar turns green.
