Where is the reset button located on the Buick GL8?

The reset button on the Buick GL8 is located at the lower left corner of the center console dashboard. The literal translation of "Reset" means reset, clear, or restore. Its function is to basically reset the information in the car's dashboard information center, except for the total mileage. Holding it down for up to 3 seconds can clear the data. Here is more information about the Buick GL8: 1. Body dimensions: The Buick GL8 is a popular joint-venture MPV model, with a body length, width, and height of 5256mm, 1878mm, and 1776mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 3088mm. 2. Power: The car is equipped with a 3.0L VVT V6 engine, with a maximum horsepower of 178 and a top speed of 168km/h.
When I first drove the Buick GL8, the reset button was on the control stalk to the left of the steering wheel—not a standalone button, but a small protrusion hidden on the turn signal lever. It was used to reset the trip odometer, like when you finish a long drive and want to record a new trip; just hold it down for a few seconds to clear the data. Last time after servicing, the technician forgot to do it, and the dashboard light kept flashing as a reminder, so I had to manually reset it to fix the issue. The button’s position is a bit hidden, especially in sunlight where it’s hard to see and easy to accidentally press. I recommend operating it while parked to avoid distraction on the road. The GL8’s design is quite consistent, but minor adjustments may exist across model years—post-2020 versions relocated it to the steering wheel button cluster. Checking the user manual’s diagram on page 35 is much better than guessing. Remember, though small, this button is quite useful—don’t overlook it during regular maintenance.
