{Warning
Remove all objects from the
charging pad before charging
your compatible smartphone.
Objects, such as coins, keys,
rings, paper clips, or cards,
between the smartphone and

hot. On the rare occasion that the
charging system does not detect
an object, and the object gets
wedged between the smartphone
and charger, remove the
smartphone and allow the object
to cool before removing it from
the charging pad, to prevent
burns.

objects between the
smartphone and the charging
pocket.
2. With the smartphone screen facing the rear of the vehicle,

smartphone from the pocket,
turn it 180 degrees, and wait
three seconds before inserting
the smartphone into the pocket
again.
The smartphone may become
warm during charging. This is
normal. In warmer
temperatures, the speed of
charging may be reduced.
To maximize the charge rate, ensure
the smartphone is fully seated and
centered in the pocket with nothing
under it. A thick smartphone case
may prevent the wireless charger
from working, or may reduce the
charging performance. See your
dealer for additional information.

Customer Information
Customer Satisfaction
Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and to
Buick. Normally, any concerns with
the sales transaction or the
operation of the vehicle will be
resolved by your dealer's sales or
service departments. Sometimes,
however, despite the best intentions
of all concerned, misunderstandings
can occur. If your concern has not
been resolved to your satisfaction,
the following steps should be taken:
STEP ONE : Discuss your concern
with a member of dealership
management. Normally, concerns
can be quickly resolved at that level.
If the matter has already been
reviewed with the sales, service,
or parts manager, contact the owner
of your dealership or the general
manager.
STEP TWO : If after contacting a
member of dealership management,
it appears your concern cannot be
