- 1. What is the AutoSense Power Liftgate and how does it work in my Buick®?
- The available AutoSense Power Liftgate is a hands-free system that opens the liftgate automatically when you approach the rear of the vehicle with your key fob. The vehicle must be in PARK and the feature enabled via the touchscreen. The liftgate prepares to open as you move from more than 10 feet away to within 3 feet of the vehicle, confirmed with four audible beeps and flashing lights. Closing the liftgate is manual and can be done with interior/rear buttons or by double-pressing the key fob.
- 2. How can I enable or disable the AutoSense Power Liftgate?
- Enable via the center display: Navigate to Vehicle Settings > Comfort and Convenience > Hands-Free Exterior Storage Access > Open Only. To disable, select Off in the same menu or hold the liftgate button in the rear for over five seconds. The feature resets each time you close the liftgate—reactivate by remaining 10+ feet from the vehicle for 20 seconds, then approaching again with the key fob.
- 3. What should I do if my power liftgate or key fob doesn’t work?
- First, check the AutoSense feature’s status in the menu and confirm the vehicle is in PARK. Inspect the key fob battery. Ensure no trailers are connected or that the key fob isn’t “muted” from lingering in the approach zone. If issues persist, contact us at Leesburg Buick GMC for diagnosis and service.
- 4. How do the seat and steering wheel temperature controls operate?
- Many 2025 Buick® models offer Automatic Heated and Ventilated Seats as well as a Heated Steering Wheel. These features adjust automatically based on cabin and outside air temperature. You can manually override settings via the seat or steering wheel buttons. Heated rear seats and ventilated front seats are available; availability varies by trim. Remote start can also precondition these surfaces, ensuring comfort before you enter the vehicle.
- 5. If my passenger seat is empty, will the temperature controls activate?
- No. Automatic Heated or Ventilated Seats activate on the passenger side only when the seat is occupied. Manual adjustment is always available for unoccupied seats.
- 6. What does the Heated Wiper Park do?
- The Heated Wiper Park system, if equipped, prevents ice and snow from accumulating on the lower windshield and wiper blades during cold weather. This feature activates automatically at low temperatures, or when you use the rear defrost. It is visible as fine heating grids at the base of the windshield. The system will also activate when the vehicle is started through remote start in conditions below 45°F.
- 7. How does Keyless Open and Keyless Start enhance convenience?
- With Keyless Open, simply press the button or pad on your vehicle’s door handle (with key fob nearby) to unlock or lock doors without searching for your keys. Keyless Start enables engine start/stop at the push of a button while your key fob remains in your pocket or bag. Features may be customized in the vehicle’s Settings menu to best fit your daily routine.
- 8. Can I use my key fob to operate windows and folding mirrors remotely?
- Many Buick® vehicles with express-up/-down windows can be operated remotely using the key fob—open by pressing and holding the Unlock button, and close by pressing and holding the Lock button (if equipped with express-up). Power folding mirrors may fold/unfold when you lock or unlock the vehicle using the key fob or door handle, and can be fully automated if Passive/Walkaway Locking is enabled.
- 9. How do I make the most of my vehicle’s infotainment features?
- Buick® Ultrawide Infotainment Systems come with easy-to-use, customizable home screens. Connect wirelessly to Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ compatibility, utilize Bluetooth® audio, access SiriusXM® with 360L, and on select models, enjoy Google built-in. Personalize by signing in to compatible accounts, installing favorite apps, or setting up Google Assistant for a seamless infotainment experience.
- 10. What’s the benefit of having Google built-in in the Buick® Infotainment System?
- Google built-in compatibility provides access to Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play directly on your center display. Enjoy intuitive voice control for navigation, media, and certain vehicle functions, plus the ability to download apps for music, podcasts, and audiobooks. For full functionality, connect a personal Google Account and subscribe to a compatible service plan.
