I just drove a 2013 Buick GL8 on a long trip, and the Bluetooth button is easy to find—it's located in the multifunction button area on the left side of the steering wheel, usually marked with a small phone or Bluetooth icon. Press it once to activate pairing mode. Then, simply turn on Bluetooth on your phone, search for the Buick device name (e.g., 'Buick'), and tap to connect. The whole process takes about a minute. If the button isn’t obvious, gently feel the steering wheel surface for raised patterns. For older models, the button might be sticky or worn—in that case, try restarting the vehicle or checking the Bluetooth settings in the infotainment screen. As a family-friendly travel companion, the GL8’s Bluetooth is super handy for music, navigation, and hands-free calls, ensuring safer driving. Don’t forget to save the paired device for convenience.

I commute daily in my GL8, and the Bluetooth button on the steering wheel is conveniently located on the left side—the one with the phone symbol stands out the most. Pressing it initiates the pairing process, and my phone automatically displays the connection prompt. Buick's design is quite thoughtful, placing it within easy reach and line of sight for effortless operation. If it doesn’t respond immediately, it might be because the phone’s Bluetooth is off or there’s signal interference—just wait a few seconds and try again. The GL8’s spacious cabin makes Bluetooth calls both convenient and safe, eliminating worries about distractions. As a friendly reminder, regularly clean the button to prevent dust buildup, which could affect its functionality and your driving experience.

The Bluetooth button on my 2013 GL8 is located in the left functional area of the steering wheel. Just press the phone icon button for instant pairing, and your phone will connect to Bluetooth—everything's set. The simple operation is perfect for beginners, with the button positioned centrally and unobtrusive; if it's unclear, just check the manual. I usually use it to listen to podcasts for a relaxed drive, and the Buick system's updates have improved compatibility even more.

Does Cruise Control Damage the Car?

Cruise control does not damage the car. The following are the conditions for using cruise control and precautions to note: Usage Conditions: In principle, cruise control should be used on highways or fully enclosed roads. This is because on non-enclosed roads, complex road conditions are not conducive to traffic safety. On national highways, some tractors lack sufficient power and often rush onto the road at small intersections, posing a serious threat to vehicles on the highway. In such cases, using cruise control may lead to unpreparedness. Precautions: Do not use cruise control in rainy or snowy/icy conditions. It should also be avoided on mountainous roads with many curves or winding roads. This is because, under normal circumstances when navigating curves, it is necessary to appropriately accelerate to provide greater steering force.

Can the car be started if water has submerged the exhaust pipe?

If the water level has just reached the exhaust pipe, the car can be started.

Precautions for exhaust pipe maintenance: Prevent water from entering the muffler. When driving in the rain or washing the car, avoid water entering the muffler.
