The air conditioning switch in the older model Buick GL8 is located next to the gear shift lever. Below are detailed introductions about the Buick GL8: 1. Overview: The new generation Buick GL8 Avenir family has a body size of 5219mm × 1878mm × 1799mm, with a wheelbase of 3088mm. The GL8 Avenir four-seater version features an interior with a unique indigo blue and moon white color scheme, and the cabin design draws inspiration from the 'Dazhuang and Shixing' concept of Chinese classical architectural aesthetics. 2. Others: The new generation Buick GL8 family is equipped with General Motors' latest Smart-Propulsion intelligent driving technology, delivering a powerful output of 174kW and 350Nm, with a combined fuel consumption of only 7.9L/7.8L per 100 kilometers.
I've been driving an older GL8 for many years, and the air conditioning switch is right below the instrument panel on the center console, in a very noticeable position. When you sit in the driver's seat and glance to the right of the steering wheel, you'll see a row of buttons and knobs. The fan speed is on the left knob, temperature adjustment in the middle, and the A/C switch on the right. Press it to turn on the AC, and adjusting the airflow or temperature is very intuitive. Honestly, the design of older cars is simpler, without all those smart touchscreens—everything relies on physical buttons, which makes it more reliable. During long drives, the AC switch is positioned low enough that you can reach it easily without distracting you from driving. One small tip: if it doesn't work smoothly in winter or summer, it might be due to poor contact. Regularly cleaning the dust around the buttons with a soft cloth can prevent malfunctions. After all, with older cars, proper maintenance makes driving much more worry-free.
