Buick Encore: Vehicle Checks / Windshield Replacement
Driver Assistance Systems
When a windshield replacement is needed
and the vehicle is equipped with a
front-looking camera sensor for the Driver
Assistance Systems, the windshield must be
installed according to GM specifications for
these systems to work properly. If it is not,
there may be unexpected behavior and/or
messages from these systems.
Acoustic Windshield
The vehicle is equipped with an acoustic
windshield. If the windshield needs to be
replaced, be sure to get an acoustic
windshield so you will continue to have the
benefits an acoustic windshield can provide.
Windshield wiper blades should be replaced
periodically. See Maintenance Schedule.
Replacement blades come in different types
and are removed in different ways...
This vehicle is equipped with gas strut(s) to
provide assistance in lifting and holding
open the hood/trunk/liftgate system in full
open position.

trunk, and/or liftgate fail, you or others
could be seriously injured...
