Super Cruise is available on over 600,000 miles of compatible roads across the U.S. and Canada. In Central Illinois, you might be surprised to know that Highway 51 between Bloomington and Decatur, Highway 54 between Springfield and Farmer City, and even Rt. 10 between Lincoln and Champaign-Urbana are all Super Cruise mapped! That means even your everyday drives around downstate Illinois are ready for comfort and convenience. How Super Cruise works Sensors, cameras, computers, GPS data and precision maps are all a piece of the Super Cruise puzzle. These technologies make it possible for drivers to remove their hands from the wheel under specific conditions. Speed/Distance: Using technology from Adaptive Cruise Control features, Super Cruise adjusts the vehicle’s speed to maintain a set following distance from the vehicle ahead. GM’s Driver Attention System helps make sure the driver is attentive to the road, with eyes open, ready to take control if needed. If the system detects an inattentive driver, a series of alerts kick in. Safety features: If the driver can’t or doesn’t take control, Super Cruise will slow the vehicle to a controlled stop, turn on the hazard lights, and dispatch OnStar to bring assistance to the driver. Lane-changing: To pass a slower vehicle or get out of a lane that’s coming to an end, Super Cruise technology can initiate a lane change. Collaborative driver experience: Drivers can steer the vehicle normally if, for example, there’s a pothole to avoid in the lane of travel. When the driver ends guidance, Super Cruise will automatically resume steering. Super Cruise will also slow down or stop for traffic. Activating and Using Super Cruise on Equipped Vehicles Super Cruise is activated by using the button on the steering wheel of equipped vehicles. A brief explanation of Super Cruise color coding: White: When Super Cruise detects a compatible road and all driving and driver conditions are met, Super Cruise symbol will illuminate white on the instrument cluster. Green: After it is engaged and the steering wheel lights up in green, Super Cruise is in control. To turn off, press the Super Cruise button again or press the brake pedal. Blue: If the steering wheel flashes blue, it means the driver is steering. Red: If the steering wheel flashes red, the driver should take over steering. Super Cruise might not be able to see the road markings due to weather or construction, or the driver might not be looking at the road. Super Cruise for Trailering Super Cruise also offers Hands-Free Trailering on select vehicles. When you hitch a trailer to the vehicle, Super Cruise adjusts for the size, weight, and turning radius of your trailer, giving you hands-free comfort no matter what you’re pulling. Automatic Lane Change and Lane Change on Demand are not available while trailering. This is a summary of features. Please see full details and FAQs on Buick’s Super Cruise webpage or Chevrolet’s Super Cruise webpage. Always pay attention while driving and when using Super Cruise. Do not use a hand-held device. Requires active Super Cruise plan or trial. Terms apply.

Looking for a new vehicle in Central Illinois? Here's why a sunroof might just be the upgrade you didn’t know you needed. If you are in the market for a new car, truck or SUV, you have probably seen plenty of great options from Chevrolet and Buick. With so many features available, it is easy to overlook the sunroof, but this one upgrade can completely change how you experience driving. A sunroof brings natural light into the vehicle’s cabin, making even the shortest drives around Clinton, Decatur and Bloomington feel more open and enjoyable. Whether you are heading to work, taking the kids to school or cruising the backroads of DeWitt and Macon County, a sunroof offers a better view and a more refreshing drive. Central Illinois offers beautiful driving weather, especially in the fall. A sunroof lets you soak up those last warm days or enjoy the sunshine on a crisp morning. You can vent warm air, cool the cabin, or simply enjoy a gentle breeze. When winter rolls around, that extra light can brighten your day and let in the sun’s warmth when it is too cold to roll down the windows. Today’s sunroofs are more advanced than ever. For example, models like the Buick Enclave ST and Chevrolet Equinox ACTIV feature power panoramic sunroofs with rear fixed skylights and power sunshades. This means you and your passengers can enjoy the view without glare. You can fully open the roof or just slide the shade to let in a little sunlight, all from the driver’s seat. It is all up to you! Sunroofs are also a family favorite. Kids love watching the sky roll by from the back seat, giving the cabin a bigger, brighter feel. Even on a quick drive between Bloomington and Decatur, a sunroof adds an extra layer of comfort and connection to the outdoors. If you have ever driven through the countryside, Weldon Springs, Moraine View, or under the stars with a panoramic roof, you know how special it can be. Some drivers worry about long-term care with sunroofs and moonroofs, but modern roofs only require basic maintenance: keeping the glass clean, checking seals, and clearing leaves or debris. Today’s systems are built for durability and regular care helps avoid noises or leaks. If anything ever does need repair, our GM Certified service team here in Clinton or Farmer City is ready to help. A sunroof adds comfort and style while enhancing your driving experience. It can also boost resale value when it is time for your next trade-in. While it adds a bit to the vehicle’s initial cost, many find it more than worth the upgrade. If you are considering a new Buick or new Chevrolet vehicle like the Enclave, Encore GX, Traverse or Equinox, take a moment to check out a model with a sunroof. We have many new and used moonroof- and sunroof-equipped SUVs and trucks available for sale and our team would be happy to show you how they work. Feel free to contact us, schedule a test drive or visit our showroom to see for yourself. You might come into our dealership looking for great features for the ebbs and flows of Illinois weather, like all-wheel drive or heated seats, but you just might leave wanting a sunroof too!
