What are the button instructions for the 2017 Buick GL8 center console?

[McEmerson]

Here are the instructions for the Buick center console buttons: Electronic Stability Control System: Can be manually turned off in conditions like rain, snow, or muddy roads. It is generally recommended to keep it on during normal driving to prevent skidding or fishtailing. Parking Radar/Image: This button activates the panoramic view and radar functions, providing audible alerts and visual feedback to help the driver detect surrounding obstacles. Internal/External Air Circulation: Internal circulation heats or cools the air inside the car and recirculates it, while external circulation brings in outside air. Use internal circulation in heavy traffic, tunnels, or when outside air quality is poor. On highways, switch to external circulation every hour or so to refresh the air inside the car and prevent oxygen deprivation.

My 2017 GL8 has been driven for five years, and the button layout on the center console is clear and practical, making it easy for beginners to master. The left side features air conditioning controls, with a large central knob for adjusting temperature—it clicks crisply when turned. Nearby are buttons for adjusting fan speed with a single press, as well as a mode key to switch between face, foot, or defrost settings. A large touchscreen sits in the middle for navigation and radio control, but physical buttons remain below the screen: a volume knob for fine-tuning sound while driving and a menu key for quick display changes. On the right side are window controls and a door lock button, designed for easy access with backlit illumination for nighttime safety. I recommend familiarizing yourself with these basic buttons first, practicing with the intuitive icons to avoid distractions while driving—ensuring safety and efficiency. Don’t worry about mistakes; each button is clearly labeled with straightforward icons, and you’ll get the hang of it over time.
