  2. On your phone settings, select the correct Wi-Fi network and type in its password. 
  3. If you’ve forgotten the password, it will display on your Buick’s infotainment screen. 
  4. Now you have access to your mobile internet.

What is the Wi-Fi hotspot feature in a Buick? 

Just like any Wi-Fi hotspot, this feature gives you Wi-Fi within a limited distance from the system. Wi-Fi hotspots differ from your home’s Wi-Fi because they are mobile, going where you go. In this case, the hotspot is linked to your vehicle, so you must be within range of your Buick in order to connect. It provides you with convenient internet access on the go.
