What are the steering wheel button functions for the Excelle?
2 Answers
The left-side buttons primarily control the cruise control functions, including cruise on, cruise off, sport mode, resume cruise, and set cruise. The right-side buttons mainly operate the multimedia voice system, featuring Bluetooth calling, voice control, call hang-up, mute, volume adjustment, and song switching. Below is relevant information about the 2021 1.3T Automatic Light Hybrid Base Model Excelle: 1. Powertrain: Equipped with a 1.3L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. 2. Body Dimensions: Length, width, and height are 4609mm, 1798mm, and 1486mm respectively. The wheelbase is 2640mm. 3. Chassis: The drivetrain is front-engine front-wheel drive, with a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.
I've driven several Buick Excelle models, and the button design on the steering wheel is very practical. On the left side, there's a row of buttons: the top one is for increasing the volume, the one below decreases the volume, and in the middle is a mute button—just press it to turn off the sound. The right side is divided into two parts: the upper section has phone-related buttons, such as answer or hang-up keys, making it convenient for hands-free calls; the lower section includes cruise control buttons, such as activating cruise control, setting speed, accelerating, or decelerating, which makes long-distance highway driving much easier. There's also a voice assistant button at the top—just press it to control navigation or music without taking your hands off the wheel, enhancing safety. Remember to regularly check the button responsiveness; don’t wait until they malfunction. You can have them inspected during routine maintenance at the 4S shop.
