A LETTER FROM YOUR
INTELLILINK MARKETING TEAM

Buick’s brand mission is to be the most friendly, down-to-earth
luxury brand in the world. We’re pleased to deliver on this mission
with the next evolution of IntelliLink, our premium and refined
infotainment system

Overall new services for select IntelliLink radios include:

• Siri Eyes Free to enable iPhone users to access more of their
phone’s features through the radio (new for LaCrosse and Regal)

• Text Message Alerts, a hands-free method of receiving text
messages in your vehicle (new for LaCrosse and Regal)

INTRODUCING ONSTAR 4G LTE WI-FI SERVICE

To complement IntelliLink’s premium infotainment system, we’re
pleased to offer OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi service that makes select
Buick vehicles (new for Verano, Encore, LaCrosse and Regal) a
rolling Wi-Fi hotspot. The hotspot is powered by your vehicle, so
when your vehicle is running, your hotspot is active.

• The 4G connection is stronger because of a more powerful
antenna. And up to seven Wi-Fi devices can be connected
at once, so when you’re chauffeuring your family or driving
carpool, everyone can use Wi-Fi.

Please use this updated Details Book to learn about the new and
updated IntelliLink features and the new OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi
