1 Answers
The Buick GL8's multifunction steering wheel has cruise control, voice control, and phone function buttons on the left side; on the right side are volume control, track switching, and multifunction dashboard control buttons. Behind the steering wheel are the light lever and wiper lever, with paddle shifters located above. Additional information about the Buick GL8 is as follows: 1. Column Shifter: The column shifter, or 'huai dang' in Chinese, refers to the gear shift lever located below the steering wheel. It is called 'huai dang' because the lever is pulled towards the driver's chest when shifting gears. The gear arrangement is the same as that of a regular automatic transmission. Vehicles with column shifters are generally designed with automatic transmissions. 2. Gear Shift Lever: The gear shift lever can be arranged as a floor shifter or a column shifter. The column shifter is located below the steering wheel, hence the name 'huai dang.' This design is more common in American cars. The gear arrangement is identical to that of a regular automatic transmission. 3. Column Shifter: Related models are usually automatic transmissions. Common American cars with column shifters in China include the Buick GL8 and the old Regal. German brands like Mercedes-Benz also use column shifters in models such as the R, E, S, ML, and GL classes.
