The automatic door switch for the new Buick GL8 is located at the top of the driver's cabin, next to the rearview mirror. Manual and Automatic: The electric door can be opened manually like a regular car or remotely via the key, allowing the owner to choose based on different situations. Memory Function: The owner can set the opening or closing angle of the electric door according to their door-opening habits. Safety and Anti-Pinch: The electric door is equipped with sensors. If an object is detected near the door during the closing process, the door will stop closing to avoid pinching passengers or damaging items.

I've been driving this new GL8 for almost a year now. The automatic door controls are mainly located in three places: The most frequently used is the door-pattern button in the driver's left control area - just a gentle press activates the automatic opening/closing. There's also a small black button beneath the exterior door handle which is particularly convenient when carrying items, as you can simply nudge it with your knee. Additionally, the door icon button on the key fob can remotely control the doors. When washing the car, be careful not to spray water directly at these small buttons. During rainy weather, the remote might occasionally respond slower, requiring you to stand closer to the vehicle. Remember to leave sufficient clearance when operating the doors to avoid interference from nearby pillars or curbs blocking the door track.

The automatic door design of the new GL8 is quite thoughtful, with the switch positions carefully considered for practical needs. The electric door control button can be found in the driver's side button cluster, allowing for easy operation while driving. There's a round metal button on the door frame at the passenger boarding area, which prevents getting hands wet when pressing it in the rain. Pressing and holding the side button on the car key for three seconds can open or close the door, which is especially convenient when carrying items. When traveling with elderly passengers, it's best to teach them how to use the key operation to avoid the effort of bending down to press the door button. However, before remotely opening the door in a parking lot, remember to check for any moving objects around, as the automatic door's sensing range is limited.

The automatic door switch has three locations: There's a centralized button area on the left side of the center dashboard - just look for the button marked with a sliding door icon. The most practical one is the small protruding button in the middle of the exterior B-pillar, which automatically opens the door when pressed. The remote key also has a dedicated power door control button. When washing the car, it's best to avoid directing high-pressure water jets straight at these small buttons as they're more sensitive than regular switches. If power is suddenly cut off while the door is opening, it will stop at its current position - manually pushing or pulling it at this time may damage the motor.

The GL8's power sliding door controls are primarily located at three points: the integrated control area on the driver's door panel with intuitive icons; the most noticeable round silver button in the middle of the outer door frame; and the dedicated button on the key fob is also easy to locate. When taking children out, be cautious of the closing gap of the power door to prevent little fingers from getting caught. Additionally, in northern winters, the remote may not respond due to reduced battery performance in low temperatures - in such cases, pressing the door button directly is more reliable.
