2009 BUICK ENCLAVE warning

Automatic Engine Grade
Braking
Automatic Engine Grade Braking
assists when driving on a downhill
grade. It maintains vehicle speed by
automatically implementing a shift
schedule that uses the engine and
the transmission to slow the vehicle.
The system will automatically
command downshifts to reduce
vehicle speed, until the brake pedal
is no longer being pressed.
While in the Electronic Range
Select (ERS) mode, grade braking
is deactivated, allowing the
driver to select a range and limiting
the highest gear available. Grade
braking is available for normal
driving and in Tow/Haul mode.
SeeAutomatic Transmission
Operation on page 2-24.
Parking Brake
To set the parking brake, hold the
regular brake pedal down, then push
the parking brake pedal down.
If the ignition is on, the brake system
warning light will come on. See
Brake System Warning Light
on page 3-33.Notice:Driving with the parking
brake on can overheat the
brake system and cause
premature wear or damage to
brake system parts. Make
sure that the parking brake is
fully released and the brake
warning light is off before driving.
To release the parking brake,
hold the regular brake pedal down,
then push down momentarily on
the parking brake pedal until
you feel the pedal release. Slowly
pull your foot up off the park
brake pedal. If the parking brake is
not released when you begin to
drive, the brake system warning light
will be on and a chime will sound
warning you that the parking
brake is still on.
If you are towing a trailer and are
parking on a hill, seeTowing a
Trailer on page 4-24.

Clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If the
blades are frozen to the windshield,
gently loosen or thaw them. If
they become damaged, install new
blades or blade inserts. See

In freezing weather, do not use
your washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer
uid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.

3-8 Instrument Panel

Heated Windshield Washer
For vehicles with the heated
windshield washer uid system, it
can be used to help clear ice, snow,
tree sap, or bugs from the
windshield. This feature only works
with the front wiper system.
The button is located to the left
of the steering column below
the instrument panel brightness
control knob.
Press the heated washer uid
button to activate the heated
windshield washer uid system. This
activation begins four heated
wash/wipe cycles. The rst heatedwash/wipe cycle can take up to
40 seconds to occur, depending on
outside temperature. After the
rst wash/wipe cycle, it can take up
to 20 seconds for each of the
remaining cycles. The system turns
off automatically after four wipe
cycles or the button can be pressed
again to turn it off.
Under certain outside temperature
conditions, steam might ow
out of the washer nozzles for a
short period of time before washer
uid is sprayed. This is normal.

SeeFog Lamps on page 3-14.
Delayed Headlamps
Delayed headlamps provide a period
of exterior lighting as you leave
the area around your vehicle. This
feature is activated when the
headlamps are on due to the
automatic headlamps control
feature, and when the ignition is
turned off. The headlamps remain
on until the exterior lamps control is
moved to the parking lamps
position or until the pre-selected
delayed headlamp lighting period
has ended.
If the ignition is turned off with the
headlamps switch in the parking
lamps or headlamps position,
the delayed headlamps cycle will
not occur.
To disable the delayed headlamps
feature or change the time of
delay, seeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 3-57.
Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL)/Automatic
Headlamp System
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see
the front of your vehicle during the
day. Fully functional daytime
running lamps are required on all
vehicles rst sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the
instrument panel makes the DRL
work, so do not cover the sensor.
The DRL system’s automatic control
makes the DRL lights come on when
the following conditions are met:
The ignition is in the ON/RUN
position.
The exterior lamps control is
in AUTO.
The engine is running.
Instrument Panel 3-13

The battery can be discharged at
idle if the electrical loads are
very high. This is true for all
vehicles. This is because the
generator (alternator) may not be
spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all the power that is needed
for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when
several of the following are on, such
as: headlamps, high beams, fog
lamps, rear window defogger,
climate control fan at high speed,
heated seats, engine cooling fans,
trailer loads, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive
discharge of the battery. It does this
by balancing the generator’s
output and the vehicle’s electrical
needs. It can increase engine
idle speed to generate more power,
whenever needed. It can temporarily
reduce the power demands of
some accessories.Normally, these actions occur in
steps or levels, without being
noticeable. In rare cases at the
highest levels of corrective action,
this action may be noticeable
to the driver. If so, a Driver
Information Center (DIC) message
might be displayed, such as
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE,
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, or LOW
BATTERY. If this message is
displayed, it is recommended that
the driver reduce the electrical loads
as much as possible. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on
page 3-48.Battery Run-Down
Protection
This feature helps prevent the
battery from being drained, if the
interior courtesy lamps, reading/map
lamps, visor vanity lamps or trunk
lamp are accidentally left on. If
any of these lamps are left on,
they automatically turn off after
10 minutes, if the ignition is off. The
lamps will not come back on
again until one of the following
occurs:
The ignition is turned on.
The exterior lamps control is
turned off, then on again.
The headlamps will timeout after
10 minutes, if they are manually
turned on before the ignition is off.
