Buick Encore: Keys, Doors, and Windows / Vehicle Security
This vehicle has theft-deterrent features;
however, they do not make the vehicle
impossible to steal.
Liftgate
Warning
Exhaust gases can enter the vehicle if it
is driven with the liftgate, hatch/trunk
open, or with any objects that pass
through the seal between the body and
the hatch/trunk or liftgate...
If equipped with an anti-theft alarm system,
the indicator light, on the instrument panel
near the windshield, shows the status of the
system.
Off : Alarm system is disarmed...
Other information:
After the frontal, knee (if equipped), and
seat-mounted side impact airbags inflate,
they quickly deflate, so quickly that some
people may not even realize the airbags
inflated. Roof-rail airbags may still be at
least partially inflated for some time after
they inflate...
All-Wheel Drive
If equipped, this feature transfers engine
power, as required, to all four wheels. It is
fully automatic, and adjusts itself as needed
for road conditions.
When using a compact spare tire on an
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle, the system
automatically detects the compact spare and
disables AWD to protect the system...
