What to Do When the Enclave Parking Assist Function is Turned Off?

Enclave's parking assist function has a switch button with a P symbol; simply turn it on. Enclave: The Enclave is developed on General Motors' small crossover platform, featuring a coupe-style design rare among SUVs and excellent powertrain performance. It is a compact SUV sold in China, North America, and Europe, making it a truly global model. On April 15, 2019, the all-new generation of the Buick Enclave family made its global debut. The new model is equipped with General Motors' eighth-generation Ecotec engine, paired with a 9-speed HYDRA-MATIC intelligent transmission and a new CVT continuously variable transmission, meeting China's National 6 emission standards. The all-new electronic architecture will provide users with more connected 'cloud' experiences. Parking Assist: This is a safety assistance device for parking or reversing. The mainstream system consists of a rearview camera and an in-car display, showing real-time video from the rear camera during reversing to enhance safety. Alternatively, some systems use ultrasonic sensors (commonly known as probes), a controller, and a display (or buzzer).
I once encountered a situation where the Buick Encore's parking assist function was turned off while driving, usually due to settings issues or temporary system glitches. Don't panic—first grab the user manual and check the parking assist section to see if someone accidentally disabled it during use. I've personally tried locating the settings option on the center console screen, navigating to the driver assistance menu to reactivate it; sometimes the system automatically recovers. If that doesn't work, try turning off and restarting the car to let it perform a self-check—it might restore functionality. If it still won't activate, then inspect whether the radar is dirty or if there's poor wiring contact, like when mud splashes onto the front sensors during rain, affecting signal reception. This concerns driving safety, so never force parking maneuvers—it's best to promptly schedule a visit to the 4S dealership for technicians to diagnose with professional equipment, ensuring no major system issues. During routine maintenance, remind them to inspect assist functions to prevent future malfunctions.
