IntelliLink Won’t Let You Down

People Love the IntelliLink

There is almost nothing as frustrating as your computer acting up. Whether that means it is lagging and taking forever to load, or it literally doesn’t work, it’s a hassle that we definitely don’t have time for. With cars being produced with touchscreens and a variety of computing features available, there are bound to be days where those aren’t working too, right? Well if you are the owner of a GM vehicle with an IntelliLink infotainment system, then you don’t have to worry. Let us tell you why the people love the IntelliLink.

The touchscreens that are often located front and center of the newer vehicles produced these days are usually capable of doing a million things. From voice navigation and playing media to allowing the driver to make hands-free phone calls, the touch screens in our cars are downright useful. That is, until they aren’t working.

Buick is working hard everyday to make sure that a lagging infotainment center never makes an appearance in your car. Extreme testing is done inside and outside of the vehicle to test every aspect of the touchscreen functionality. Using simulated finger taps and pushes, the engineers at Buick are able to push IntelliLink to its limits, all to make sure that you get a computer that won’t ruin your day or commute to work.

Even going as far as to make preparations for real-life encounters, owners can feel safe that their wishes are being looked into. For example, if you get out of your car to grab a drink from the gas station and get back in 3 minutes later, the IntelliLink system will not have completely shut down when you turned off your car. This allows you to continue what you had going on before getting out without waiting for the system to reboot.

Buick sure seems to be thinking ahead! If you are interested in learning more about the IntelliLink infotainment system, contact us here at Palmen Buick GMC Cadillac of Kenosha WI. To look through our full inventory of new vehicles, follow this link and don’t forget to sign up for a test drive!

Learn how to safely pull a trailer following these tips! more Read More: What's the difference between GMC SUVs? Tips to pull a trailer safely Many GMC SUVs and trucks, and even the Buick Enclave, have towing capabilities that make it possible to tow a trailer, camper or boat, and so much more. But just because it is possible doesn't make it safe, which is why we've compiled a list to help you tow safely! Know your limits and don't exceed them: Know and understand the towing limits of your vehicle, and be sure you are always well within them. Keep in mind the gross vehicle weight rating for your vehicle as well to ensure your gross combination weight rating is not over the limit. Pay attention to your specific vehicle's capabilties: Different body styles, tow hitches, bed lengths, drivetrains and other equipment all play a part in the vehicle's towing capacity, so be sure you know the limits for your specific model and equipment. Load your trailer properly: Make sure the weight is properly distributed, with approximately 60% of the weight placed on the front half of the trailer, and make sure weight is evenly distributed between the left and right sides. Check your tires, lights, and brakes: Tires that are not properly inflated can affect the handling and capabilities of your vehicle and trailer. Make sure your vehicle and your trailer have properly inflated tires set to the recommended PSI. Ensure the taillights and markers on your trailer are working properly for your safety and visibility on the road, especially at night. Check your brakes to ensure trailer brakes are working properly, especially when towing heavier loads. Adjust side mirrors: Make sure you have a clear view that shows you the end of the trailer and sides of your vehicle to help you keep tabs on other vehicles on the road.
