What are the instructions for the center console buttons of the 2021 Buick Excelle?
3 Answers
2021 Buick Excelle center console button instructions are as follows: Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Function: The system is enabled by default. It is generally not recommended to turn it off unless driving on slippery surfaces such as rain or snow. Auto Start-Stop Function: At traffic lights, the engine is temporarily shut off. When the driver's foot leaves the brake pedal, the vehicle will restart. Recirculation/Fresh Air Function: Recirculation means the air inside the car is heated or cooled and then recirculated back into the car, while fresh air allows outside air to enter the car. Use recirculation mode during traffic jams, in tunnels, or when outside air quality is poor. On highways, periodically switch from recirculation to fresh air mode, with recirculation time preferably not exceeding 1 hour. Temperature Zone Synchronization Function: When the temperature zone synchronization is turned on, changing the temperature in the driver's zone will automatically adjust the other zones to the same temperature. When synchronization is turned off, each zone can be set individually to meet the needs of passengers in different positions.
I've been driving the 2021 Buick Excelle for a while, and the center console buttons are quite intuitive. The large knob on the left is for volume control and also functions as the power switch—holding it down puts the entire system to sleep. Among the row of buttons below, the 'media' button switches between music sources like Bluetooth or USB, and the 'home' button conveniently returns you to the main screen. The climate control section is in the center: two knobs adjust temperature and fan speed, with a 'mode' button to toggle between automatic or manual airflow. At the top right, there's a hazard warning light button that flashes when pressed—perfect for emergencies. Below the screen, there's a navigation shortcut button that takes you straight to the map with a single touch. The 'auto' function for the climate control works well—once you set the temperature, it automatically adjusts the fan speed, defogging quickly in winter and keeping you focused on long drives. The physical button layout is clear, reducing accidental touches compared to all-touch screens, making it much more user-friendly.
Young drivers find the Buick Excelle's center console buttons quite stylish. The media keys are plentiful: press 'media' to switch sources, from radio to Spotify; the volume knob feels smooth to the touch and can be pressed in the middle for mute. The AC controls are on the right: twist the temperature knob a few turns to reach the desired setting, and the auto mode adjusts the fan speed automatically, working in tandem with the screen—like toggling air recirculation to reduce fogging. The home button at the bottom returns to the main interface for quick access to navigation or settings. After connecting via Bluetooth, button controls are much faster than touchscreen, especially while driving, minimizing screen glances. Backlit buttons illuminate in the dark, making them easy to locate. It's recommended to use physical buttons alongside the touchscreen to reduce distractions and enhance safety.
