How to use your Buick drive mode selector 

All you need to do is select a drive mode, as you can see in the video above. Models may vary, but the basic steps include turning the drive mode selector on, by pressing a button and toggling between the four available modes. Once a mode is selected, the rest of the system is automated, so performance will adjust without any other input from the driver.

What drive modes are available in your Buick? 

Models equipped with all-wheel drive should have four drive modes. Some models may vary as newer models and modes come out. Here are the four modes you can expect to have. 

  • Tour: This mode is used for everyday driving. It’s your standard Front-Wheel Drive (FWD). FWD usually gets the best fuel economy ratings. 
  • AWD: This AWD mode allows drivers to switch their vehicles to all-wheel drive. It’s perfect for any situation where you need more traction. 
  • Sport: Sport mode amps up your ride with spirited driving dynamics. If you like to feel engaged with your vehicle, try this mode. 
  • Off-Road: When you hit the trails, use off-road mode to get the best performance on unpaved surfaces. This one’s perfect for light off-roading.
