How to Exit Buick Mute Mode?
2 Answers
If after turning on the navigation, there is no voice prompt and it automatically switches to the radio or DVD interface, this is likely an issue with the navigation audio-visual system settings. Press the SET button to open the "System Settings" interface, where you can see "Music Navigation" and "Navigation Audio-Visual." When there is navigation voice, the interface will automatically switch back from the radio or DVD interface to the navigation interface, causing the display to continuously switch automatically. If you do not want the interface to switch automatically and prefer to keep the navigation interface displayed continuously, simply set the "Music Navigation" function to "On."
I've been driving a Buick for years and have encountered sudden audio muting several times. The simplest way to usually exit mute mode is by pressing the volume increase button on the steering wheel or the volume knob on the center console, which instantly restores sound. If there's no response, try accessing the audio settings on the touchscreen, navigate through the menu to find the mute icon and disable it. Sometimes system lag causes muting—I've experienced music automatically muting in navigation mode, and restarting the infotainment system solves it: hold the power button for 5 seconds to turn it off and then restart. Buick's SoundSuite audio system is advanced, but software bugs occasionally occur, so keeping the system updated is crucial. I regularly check for firmware updates via the mobile app push notifications. To avoid accidental touches, practice the button layout when parked, and familiarize yourself with the manual for preparedness. Overall, the Buick driving experience is excellent, and mastering these techniques makes handling such minor issues effortless.
