Where is the reverse radar switch for the Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
Buick Excelle does not have a reverse radar switch. When the reverse gear is engaged, the reverse radar system activates. If the self-check is normal, the system will emit a sound to indicate it is ready. When shifting out of reverse gear, the reverse assist system will automatically turn off. The reverse radar is a safety assist device for parking or reversing the vehicle. It informs the driver about surrounding obstacles through sound or a more intuitive display, eliminating the hassle of the driver having to look around when parking, reversing, or starting the vehicle. The Buick Excelle is a premium mid-size car launched by SAIC-GM. Its dimensions are 4419mm in length, 1814mm in width, and 1487mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2685mm. In terms of exterior design, the car features a family-style winged chrome grille, giving the front fascia a sharper and more robust appearance.
I drove a Buick Excelle for several years, and the reverse radar switch wasn't a separate button at all—it automatically turned on when shifting into reverse. To turn it off or adjust the volume, you had to operate it through the central control screen: after starting the car, click the home button to enter the settings menu, find the vehicle settings option, where there's a reverse radar switch and a volume slider to adjust. My 2018 model has always worked this way, simple and hassle-free. Once, when the radar had no sound, the 4S shop found that the sensor on the rear bumper was dirty, and it resumed working after cleaning. The reverse radar is really useful, especially in crowded parking lots, as it can alert you to avoid obstacles and prevent minor scrapes. I recommend new car owners try the settings menu a few times to familiarize themselves with the operation, and don’t forget to regularly check and clean the sensors to ensure safety.
