2023 – 2024 Buick Enclave Review, Price, Features and Mileage (Brochure)
Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL)
If equipped with the AFL system, the high-beam headlamps move horizontally while turning the steering wheel to provide greater road illumination around curves.
To activate AFL, set the exterior lamp control to the Auto position, and Adaptive Headlight system is active.
To adjust the AFL setting, go to the infotainment home screen and select Settings > Vehicle > Lighting.
Moving the exterior lamp controls out of the Auto position will deactivate the system.
The high-beam headlamps can move horizontally when the vehicle speed is greater than 3 km/h (2 mph). Headlamps will not move horizontally when the electric drive unit is in R (Reverse).
If equipped, the AFL system automatically modifies the low-beam lighting patterns to the situation to enable optimal light performance for the driver. Light distribution and intensity of low-beam light are controlled based on exterior lighting conditions, vehicle location, and driving situations.
Town Light
The light is wide and symmetrical. The special beam pattern is designed to prevent glare for other road users.
Country Light
If equipped, the country light activates automatically at a speed above 55 km/h (34 mph).
The illumination of the current lane and the side of the road is improved, reducing glare to oncoming and preceding vehicles.
Freeway/Motorway Light
If equipped, when driving faster than 90 km/h (55 mph) on freeways, the low-beam illumination is smaller and extended
Adverse Weather Light
If equipped, the adverse weather light activates automatically when driving in adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, etc.).
The illumination is shifted more to the side of the road to highlight road signs, and reduces glare caused by reflecting of wet roads.
Maneuvering Light
If equipped, the maneuvering light activates automatically at speeds less than 7 km/h (4 mph) when the vehicle is in R (Reverse). The maneuvering light illumination improves parking and maneuvering situations.
Hazard Warning Flashers
Press again to turn the flashers off.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
Move the lever all the way up or down to signal a turn.
An arrow on the instrument cluster will flash in the direction of the turn or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change is complete.
If the lever is moved momentarily to the lane change position, the arrow will flash three times. It will flash six times if Tow/ Haul Mode is active.
The lever returns to its starting position when it is released.
If after signaling a turn or lane change, the arrow flashes rapidly or does not come on, a signal bulb may be burned out.
Have any burned out bulbs replaced. If a bulb is not burned out, check the fuse.

Battery Load Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) that estimates the battery’s temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the voltage is raised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up. When the state of
charge is high, the voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has a voltmeter gauge or a voltage display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), you may see the voltage move up or down. This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed
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 of the power needed for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of the following are on, such as: headlamps, high beams, 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 DIC battery voltage and charging message displays. It is recommended that the driver reduce the
electrical loads as much as possible.
Battery Power Protection
This feature helps prevent the battery from being drained, if the interior courtesy lamps or reading lamps 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 doors are closed and then re-opened.
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
The exterior lamps turn off about 10 minutes after the vehicle is turned off, if the parking lamps or headlamps have been manually left on. This protects against draining the battery. To restart the 10-minute timer, turn the exterior lamp control to the 
position and then back to the
or 
To keep the lamps on for more than 10 minutes, the vehicle must be on or in accessory mode.
