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...

Seat Belt Extender
If the vehicle's seat belt will fasten around

But if a seat belt is not long enough, your
dealer will order you an extender. When
you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat
you will wear, so the extender will be long
enough for you...
