Rear Seat Infotainment

Rear Seat Audio (RSA) System The vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system works with the vehicle's audio system. The DVD player is part of the front radio. The RSE system includes a radio with a DVD player, a video display screen, audio/video jacks, two wireless headphones, and a remote control. See Operation on page 7‑3 for more information on the vehicle's infotainment system. Before Driving The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers only. The driver cannot safely view the video screen while driving and should not try to do so.

In severe or extreme weather conditions, the RSE system might or might not work until the temperature is within the operating range. The operating range for the RSE system is above −20°C (−4°F) or below 60°C (140°F). If the temperature of the vehicle is outside of this range, heat or cool the vehicle until the temperature is within the operating range of the RSE system. Parental Control The RSE system may have a Parental Control feature, depending on the radio. To enable Parental Control, press and hold the radio power button for more than two seconds to stop all system features such as: radio, video screen, RSA, DVD and/or CD.

Infotainment System

Phone

Bluetooth For vehicles equipped with Bluetooth capability, the system can interact with many cell phones, allowing: . Placement and receipt of calls in

a hands-free mode.

. Sharing of the cell phone’s

address book or contact list with the vehicle.

To minimize driver distraction, before driving, and with the vehicle parked: . Become familiar with the

features of the cell phone. Organize the phone book and contact lists clearly and delete duplicate or rarely used entries. If possible, program speed dial or other shortcuts.

. Review the controls and

operation of the infotainment system.

. Pair cell phone(s) to the vehicle.

The system may not work with all cell phones. See “Pairing” in this section for more information. If the cell phone has voice dialing capability, learn to use that feature to access the address book or contact list. See “Voice Pass-Thru” in this section for more information.

. See “Storing and Deleting Phone

Numbers” in this section for more information.

{ WARNING

When using a cell phone, it can be distracting to look too long or too often at the screen of the phone or the infotainment (navigation) system. Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often could cause a crash resulting in injury or death. Focus your attention on driving.

A Bluetooth system can use a Bluetooth-capable cell phone with a Hands-Free Profile to make and receive phone calls. The system can be used while the key is in the ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY position. The range of the Bluetooth system can be up to 9.1 m (30 ft). Not all phones support all functions, and not all phones work with the in-vehicle Bluetooth system. See www.gm.com/bluetooth for more information on compatible phones. Voice Recognition The Bluetooth system uses voice recognition to interpret voice commands to dial phone numbers and name tags. For additional information, say “Help” while you are in a voice recognition menu. Noise: Keep interior noise levels to a minimum. The system may not recognize voice commands if there is too much background noise.

Buick Enclave Owner Manual - 2013 - crc - 11/14/12

Black plate (29,1)

When to Speak: A short tone sounds after the system responds indicating when it is waiting for a voice command. Wait until the tone and then speak. How to Speak: Speak clearly in a calm and natural voice. Audio System When using the in-vehicle Bluetooth system, sound comes through the vehicle's front audio system speakers and overrides the audio system. Use the audio system volume knob, during a call, to change the volume level. The adjusted volume level remains in memory for later calls.

Display Function Each time the temperature, mode, or fan controls are adjusted, the climate control display shows that function along with the inside temperature setting. The outside temperature is displayed on the instrument cluster. ( (On/Off): Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to turn the climate control system on or off. The climate control system will also turn on if the defrost, AUTO, or air conditioning buttons are pressed. Automatic Operation AUTO (Automatic): The system automatically controls the inside temperature, the air delivery, and the fan speed.

To use automatic mode: 1. Press the AUTO button.

When AUTO is selected, the current temperature(s) is displayed and the AUTO indicator light is on. When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning and air inlet are automatically controlled. The air conditioning runs when the outside temperature is over 4°C (40°F). The system is automatically set to outside air, unless it is hot outside and then the air inlet changes to recirculation mode to help quickly cool the vehicle. The recirculation indicator light will come on.

2. Set the temperature for the

driver and passenger. To find a comfortable setting, start with a 22°C (73°F) temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to regulate. Use the driver side or passenger side temperature control to adjust the temperature setting as necessary. The system will remain at the selected setting. Choosing the warmest or coolest temperatures does not cause the vehicle to heat or cool more quickly. To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system delays turning on the fan until warm air is available. Turn the fan knob to override this delay and select the fan speed.

Buick Enclave Owner Manual - 2013 - crc - 11/14/12

Black plate (3,1)

Temperature Control The driver and passenger side temperature controls are used to adjust the temperature of the air coming through the system. The temperature can be adjusted even if the system is turned off since outside air still enters the vehicle, unless the recirculation mode is selected. See “Recirculation” later in this section. Driver Side Temperature Control: Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the driver side temperature. The driver side temperature display will show the temperature setting. Passenger Side Temperature Control: Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the passenger side temperature. The passenger side display will show the temperature setting.

SYNC (Synchronized Temperature): Press to set the passenger temperature to match the driver temperature setting. Manual Operation The air delivery mode or fan speed can be manually adjusted. 9 (Fan Control): Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed. Turning the fan control knob while in automatic control places the fan speed under manual control. The air delivery mode remains in automatic control. The fan setting displays momentarily and then no longer displays. Air Delivery Modes: Press H, ), 6, or- to change the direction of the airflow in the vehicle. An indicator light comes on in the selected mode button. Pressing a mode button while the system is off changes the air delivery mode without turning the system on.

Climate Controls

Changing the air delivery mode while in automatic control places the system into manual control. The air delivery mode button indicator displays, and the AUTO button indicator light turns off. H (Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel outlets. ) (Bi-Level): Air is divided between the instrument panel and floor outlets. Some air is directed towards the windshield and side window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the floor outlets. 6 (Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets, with some of the air directed to the windshield, side window, and second row floor outlets. In this mode, the system uses outside air. - (Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog or moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, floor outlets, and side window vents. When this mode is selected, the system turns off recirculation and

runs the air conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is less than 4°C (40°F). Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. 0 (Defrost): Press to turn the defrost on or off. This mode quickly clears the windshield of fog or frost. Air is directed to the windshield, side window, and floor vents. In this mode, outside air is pulled inside the vehicle. The air conditioning system runs automatically in this setting, unless the outside temperature is less than 4°C (40°F). Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. Air Conditioning A/C (Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air conditioning on and off. An indicator light comes on when A/C is on. The A/C does not work when the outside temperature is below 4°C (40°F). If A/C is pressed the indicator flashes three times and

turns off to show that the A/C mode is not available. If the A/C is on and the outside temperature drops below a temperature which is too cool for air conditioning to be effective, the A/C indicator turns off to show that the A/C mode has been canceled. On hot days, open the windows briefly to let hot inside air escape. This helps reduce the time it takes for the interior of the vehicle to cool down. The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so water might drip under the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal. @ (Recirculation): Press to turn the recirculation mode on or off. An indicator light comes on when recirculation is on. When the engine is turned off, the recirculation mode automatically turns off and must be re-selected when the engine is turned on again.

This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle. It can be used to prevent outside air and odors from entering the vehicle. The recirculation mode cannot be used with floor, defog, or defrosting modes. If recirculation is selected in these modes, the indicator flashes three times and turns off. The air conditioning compressor also comes on when this mode is activated. While in recirculation mode the windows can fog when the weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, select either the defog or defrost mode and increase the fan speed. REAR: Press to turn the rear heating and air conditioning on or off. See Rear Climate Control System on page 8‑6 or Rear Climate Control System (with Rear Seat Audio) on page 8‑7. Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window.

Buick Enclave Owner Manual - 2013 - crc - 11/14/12

R1 (Rear Window Defogger): Press to turn the rear window defogger on or off. The rear window defogger stays on for about 10 minutes, before turning off. The defogger also turns off when the engine is turned off. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. For vehicles with heated outside rearview mirrors, fog or frost is cleared from the surface of the mirror when the rear window defog button is pressed. Notice: Do not use a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window. Do not adhere anything to the defogger grid lines in the rear glass. These actions may damage the rear defogger. Repairs would not be covered by your warranty.

Sensors The solar sensor in the defrost grille in the middle of the instrument panel, monitors the solar heat. Do not cover the solar sensor or the system will not work properly.

The interior temperature sensor, on the instrument panel to the right of the steering column, measures the temperature of the air inside the vehicle.

Climate Controls

8-5

There is also an exterior temperature sensor behind the front grille. This sensor reads the outside air temperature and helps maintain the temperature inside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of the vehicle could cause a false reading in the displayed temperature. The climate control system uses the information from these sensors to maintain comfort settings by adjusting the temperature, fan speed, and air delivery mode. The system may also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the sun. The recirculation mode will also be used as needed to maintain cool outlet temperatures.
