Buick Regal: Selective Ride Control (GS
Models Only)
Selective Ride Control adapts to the
preference of the driver with one of
three driving modes: Normal,
Sport, or GS.
The following electronic systems
have been calibrated for each
driving mode:
- Continuous Damping
Control (CDC)
- Power Steering Assist
- Automatic Transmission
- All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
When the vehicle is started, Normal
mode comes on automatically. Sport
mode or GS mode can be selected
by pressing and releasing SPORT
or the GS. The light on the selected
button will illuminate, indicating the
driving mode. To return to Normal
mode, press and release the
illuminated button. When both
button lights are off, the vehicle is in
Normal mode. The driving mode can
be changed at any time, whether
the vehicle is stationary or moving.
Normal : This is the default mode
used for normal city driving and
long-distance highway driving. This
setting provides a smooth, soft ride.
- Shock absorbers are in the
comfort setting.
- Power steering assist is normal.
Sport : Use this mode when
personal preference or road
conditions demand more control.
This setting provides responsive,
controlled steering and handling.
It also modifies the automatic
transmission shift feel and the AWD
torque distribution for sportier
performance.
GS : Use this mode for additional
control and responsiveness, and
sportiest performance.
- Shock absorbers stiffen to the
firmest setting for increased
control.
- Power steering assist is reduced
for sportier feel.
- The automatic transmission
shifts more aggressively for
sportier feel and improved
acceleration.*
- The AWD system distributes
more AWD engine torque to the
rear axle.
* Performance Shifting is enabled in
Sport mode and GS mode.
Performance Shifting detects
spirited driving and adapts
transmission shifts to maximize
vehicle acceleration.
