2 Answers
The steps to use the automatic parking feature in GL8 are: 1. Keep the vehicle speed below 30 km/h; 2. Press the intelligent parking button on the panel next to the driver's seat. The vehicle will automatically search for nearby parking spaces. Once the central display screen shows the parking space information, select confirm, then choose forward or reverse based on the position, engage the gear, and adjust the position to park. Taking the 2021 Buick GL8 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5238mm, width 1878mm, height 1776mm, wheelbase 3088mm, fuel tank capacity 66L, and luggage compartment volume 475L. The 2021 Buick GL8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 237PS, maximum torque of 350Nm, and maximum power of 174kW, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
When using the automatic parking feature in my GL8, I find it quite simple and convenient. After starting the car, I first look for a parking area, such as a supermarket or a parallel parking spot by the roadside. Then, I press the parking button on the center console, and the screen shows that the system is ready. I slowly drive forward at a speed below 20km/h while keeping an eye on the screen for the system to detect a parking space. Once detected, a small arrow appears on the screen indicating the available spot. I press the confirmation button, and the system takes over the steering to reverse the car—no need for me to turn the wheel or press the accelerator. The whole process usually takes just a few seconds, and an alarm beeps to signal completion. Always remember to check the rearview mirror and camera in case the system misses any pedestrians or obstacles. This feature is especially useful in tight spaces, saving me a lot of hassle when parking, particularly after a tiring day at work when I don’t want to deal with the hassle.
