Chevrolet Super Cruise® is a revolutionary hands-free driver assistance technology found on several new Chevrolet models here at Chevrolet Van Nuys. It allows you to drive on compatible highways without touching the steering wheel or pedals. This feature is an excellent way to reduce fatigue on long road trips, but like any driver-assist feature, it is vital to use it safely. These are some safety tips from Chevrolet Van Nuys.
Super Cruise® Safety Tips
- Pay attention to your surroundings: Because Super Cruise® is a driver assistance system, not a fully autonomous system, you need to pay attention to your surroundings. In case you need to take over, keep your hands on the wheel.
- Don’t use Super Cruise® in heavy traffic: Super Cruise® is an excellent companion for highway cruising, but it is not designed for use in heavy traffic. If traffic is congested, you should turn off the feature or drive manually.
- Don’t take your eyes off the road: It’s important to keep your eyes on the road at all times when you’re using Super Cruise®.
- Don’t use Super Cruise® in inclement weather: Super Cruise® is not designed to be used in inclement weather, such as snow, rain, or fog. If the weather is bad, drive manually.
Keep Up with Chevrolet Service
In addition to the above tips, ensure your Super Cruise® system works properly by getting regular Chevrolet service at Chevrolet Van Nuys. Chevrolet frequently releases OTA (over-the-air) Super Cruise® software updates that load via your vehicle’s Wi-Fi® connection. However, the system’s sensors – and ancillary systems like steering, suspension, and brakes – need periodic inspections and calibration; our technicians will ensure that your model is always ready to operate safely.
