Buick Enclave Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-

10999311) - 2018 - crc - 11/20/17

Driving and Operating

187

Once the power assist is used up, it
can take longer to stop and the
brake pedal will be harder to push.

Steering

Electric Power Steering

The vehicle has electric power
steering. It does not have power
steering fluid. Regular maintenance
is not required.

If power steering assist is lost due
to a system malfunction, the vehicle
can be steered, but may require
increased effort.

If the steering assist is used for an
extended period of time while the
vehicle is not moving, power assist
may be reduced.

If the steering wheel is turned until it
reaches the end of its travel and is
held against that position for an
extended period of time, power
steering assist may be reduced.

Normal use of the power steering
assist should return when the
system cools down.

See your dealer if there is a
problem.

Curve Tips

.

Take curves at a reasonable
speed.

.

Reduce speed before entering a
curve.

.

Maintain a reasonable steady
speed through the curve.

.

Wait until the vehicle is out of
the curve before accelerating
gently into the straightaway.

Steering in Emergencies

.

There are some situations when
steering around a problem may
be more effective than braking.

.

Holding both sides of the
steering wheel allows you to turn
180 degrees without removing
a hand.

.

The Antilock Brake System
(ABS) allows steering while
braking.

Off-Road Recovery

The vehicle's right wheels can drop
off the edge of a road onto the
shoulder while driving. Follow
these tips:

1. Ease off the accelerator and

then, if there is nothing in the
way, steer the vehicle so that it
straddles the edge of the
pavement.

2. Turn the steering wheel about

one-eighth of a turn, until the
right front tire contacts the
pavement edge.
