Buick Enclave: Vehicle Personalization
Your Buick Enclave may include vehicle customization features that allow certain functions to be programmed to a preferred setting.
Customization settings are stored as one selected vehicle preference. They cannot be programmed as separate preferred settings for two different drivers.
Not every customization option may be available on every vehicle.
Only the options supported by the vehicle will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
The default customization settings were programmed when the vehicle left the factory. However, these settings may have been changed since then.
Once selected, customization preferences are recalled automatically.
To change the available customization preferences, use the procedure below.
Entering the Feature Settings Menu
1. Turn the ignition on and place the vehicle in P (Park).
To help prevent unnecessary battery drain while changing settings, it is recommended that the headlamps be turned off.
2. Press the customization button to enter the feature settings menu. If the menu is not available, FEATURE SETTINGS AVAILABLE IN PARK will appear on the display. Before entering the menu, make sure the vehicle is shifted into P (Park).

See Steering Wheel Adjustment for more information.
The automatic easy exit seat movement will occur only one time after the key is removed from the ignition. If the automatic movement has already taken place, and the key is inserted into the ignition and removed again, the seat and steering column will remain in the original exit position unless a memory recall occurred before the key was removed again.
