Does anyone have any information on why I cant turn on adaptive cruise control.  And if it is supposed to be on automatically, then why will it not pace the car in from of me?

These trucks don't have adaptive cruise... not on any trim level. The feature you're probably seeing on your controls is to set the gap for accident avoidance.

Swift is correct.  When I bought my 2020 GMC Sierra Denali HD last December, I thought it had Adaptive Cruise Control.  I kept trying to figure out how to engage it on the two hour drive home from the dealer.  A disappointment for sure since I had it on a 2017 Yukon Denali and a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee.  It is one option that I miss.

It's the one option I'm glad my truck doesn't have. I can't stand it !

 

When we take my wife's Highlander on trips I turn the cruise off if we get in traffic on the highway.

Same here, my 2018 Yukon had it. I bought my truck out of state and drove it home 400 miles and then took it straight to my buddies tint shop to have the two sides and full front windshield tinted, after tinting the windshield I kept trying to use adaptive cruise and couldn't get it to work so I thought maybe the tint on the windshield was interfering... turns out I didn't have it and thats why it didn't work. hahahaha

 

I could have swore I used it on the way home from the dealer. lol ?

OP's first post.

He may have a 1500, and posted in wrong section. 

If he has an HD, he's not the first that mistakenly thought the HD's had adaptive cruise.

 

 

We have it on a 1500.

 

It can be easily switched to regular cruise and of course can be switched off.  (unlike some vehicles that the choice is adaptive cruise or nothing).

 

Sometimes I use and like the adaptive.

Some situations I prefer regular cruise. 

Sometimes I prefer to just drive. 

 

Like most 'auto' functions, and like regular cruise, it reduces, but does not eliminate, the need  for driver adjustments and input.

The owners manual tells me how to operate it,  and when I called GM and gave them my vin they seemed puzzled that it didn't work.  When I asked my sales man about it he said it had and should just work.   What does setting the distance of the car in front of me supposed to do?  And will this feature be added?

Well, like others have said, if your truck really has adaptive cruise control you are posting in the wrong forum. The 1500 is the only truck that has it available, if you post in the 1500 forum you will probably get better responses on how to use it and if you do have a 2500/3500 then you don't have adaptive cruise control.

If GM thinks it has it, then it must be a 1500 and have the option?  

(and this thread is in the wrong section)

 

Did you switch it to regular cruise?

The vehicle will remember which cruise was last used, and will return to that mode the next time it is started. 

 

DIC should give a message when you switch modes.

Well this is disappointing! I'm a new owner of a 2020 2500 Denali. It's a sad day when the dealership doesn't take the time to learn their own product. The adaptive cruse control was one of the main features that I was looking for! I sat in the truck and the sales dude said "and it has adaptive cruse control". I tow so this would be extremely helpful. I took it back to the dealer and they looked at it and said I need to schedule a service appointment so they can fix it......?

I went from a 2020 GMC 1500 that had it, to a 2020 2500 and they do not have it. The 1500, when you put it in tow/haul mode the adaptive CC don’t work either. So my speculation is that the trucks are built to be tow, heavy loads, most to all of the time so they just didn’t put it in the trucks.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
