The Super Cruise driver assistance technology uses precision LiDAR map data and in addition to real-time cameras, sensors and GPS to maintain control of the vehicle under certain conditions on compatible roads. Additionally, Super Cruise is only available on compatible roads. Usually, these are roads separated from traffic going in the opposite direction. The system works with Adaptive Cruise Control, which is designed to detect vehicles traveling in the same direction in its path and accelerate or brake the vehicle to maintain a driver-selected following gap time from a vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic conditions. When engaged, Super Cruise utilizes a Driver Attention System. It provides feedback on system status, works to monitor your head and eye positioning and uses alerts that prompt you to pay close attention to the road and steer manually when needed. HOW TO USE SUPER CRUISE To use Super Cruise, Adaptive Cruise Control must be on. 1. Press the ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL button on the steering wheel to turn the system on. 2. When Super Cruise detects you are on a compatible road for the feature to function are met (e.g., lane markings visible, GPS available, no system faults), the Super Cruise symbol illuminates on the instrument cluster. 3. When it is safe to do so, press the SUPER CRUISE button on the steering wheel. When the symbol and the steering wheel light bar illuminate in green, you may remove your hands from the steering wheel. You should not remove your hands from the steering wheel unless the light bar is green. + When all other driving conditions are met but you are not centered in your lane, the Super Cruise symbol will light up blue until you are centered in your lane. 4. If an Adaptive Cruise Control speed was not previously set, Super Cruise will set your current speed as the cruise speed. 5. When Super Cruise is turned on, it will activate the Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert features, even if you had previously turned them off. When you turn Super Cruise off, these features will revert to the settings you had previously indicated for them. Super Cruise is available to chose when you have an active eligible GM Connected Services plan. Learn more from your Shortline GMC Associate at:1301 So.

SELECTING THE RIGHT HITCH Choosing the right hitch and making the proper electrical connections affect how your vehicle handles, corners and brakes, and allows you to alert other drivers of your intentions. Before selecting a hitch or trailering package, you should be familiar with the weight ratings specific to your GMC vehicle, which are available in Denver | Aurora at Shortline Buick-GMC. SELECTING TRAILERING EQUIPMENT Every GMC vehicle features a variety of standard and available equipment for enhanced trailering performance. Aside from the equipment described below, features such as heavy-duty cooling and extendable trailering mirrors may be available. WEIGHT-CARRYING HITCH This consists of a hitch ball mounted to a step bumper or draw bar, or a tow eye latched to a pintle hook. Hitch balls are available in a range of sizes. Make sure that the diameter of your hitch ball matches your trailer coupler. Also check that the ball meets or exceeds the gross trailer weight rating, which is available at Shortline Buick-GMC. WEIGHT-DISTRIBUTING HITCH This is most often used for heavier trailering. This hitch type more evenly distributes the trailer load by using spring bars to shift some of the hitch weight forward onto the tow vehicle’s front axle, and rearward to the trailer’s axles. FIFTH-WHEEL HITCH AND GOOSENECK HITCH These are designed for heavy trailering. Located in the bed of the truck, these hitches position the trailer’s kingpin weight over or slightly in front of the truck’s rear axle. Fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitches are most frequently used with travel trailers, horse trailers and other large trailers. The GMC Sierra HD truck line-up is ideal for the Denver | Aurora fifth-wheel owner. TRAILERING PACKAGE An optional Trailering Equipment Package is available for a wide variety of GMC models (and is standard on some Canyon, Sierra and Yukon models). The package includes a trailer hitch platform and may include other trailering equipment. WIRING HARNESS This allows you to connect the electrical components of your trailer, such as signal and brake lights, to the trailering vehicle. All Yukon models feature a seven-pin wiring harness to streamline hookup of trailer lighting and brakes, and a bussed electrical center makes it easier to connect an electrical trailer brake controller if one was not factory installed. Sierra models can be equipped with a four-pin/seven-pin wiring harness. INTEGRATED BRAKE CONTROLLER This is standard on select Sierra and Yukon Denali models and 3500HD, and optional on other Sierra and Canyon pickups and Yukon models. Completely integrated within the electrical system and its antilock braking system, it allows your trailer’s brakes to operate simultaneously with the vehicle’s brakes. TRAILER BRAKES The Owner’s Manual specifies the maximum trailer weight the vehicle can tow without trailer brakes. Trailer brake requirements differ from state to state. Please check your state requirements or see Shortline Buick-GMC for more information. For more information on the trailering capabilities of your GMC vehicle contact: Shortline Buick-GMC 1301 So.
