Selective Ride Control - Buick 2015 Regal Owner's Manual

Selective Ride Control

The vehicle may have Selective
Ride Control. The SPORT and GS
buttons are on top of the center
stack. Selective Ride Control adapts
to the preference of the driver within
one of three driving modes:
Standard: Default mode used for
normal and long-distance highway
driving. This setting provides a
smooth soft ride.
Sport: Use for normal city and
long-distance highway driving. This
setting provides precise,
comfortable handling. Press and
release the SPORT button on top of
the center stack and the light on the
button comes on. Press the button
again and the system returns to the
Standard mode.
GS: Use where personal
preference or road conditions
demand more control. This setting
provides responsive, controlled
steering and handling and also
modifies the All-Wheel Drive (AWD).
Press and release the GS button on
top of the center stack. The light on
the button comes on, and the
appropriate message displays on
the DIC. Press the button again.
