The Enclave is Buick's three-row SUV. The first generation (2008 to 2017) uses a 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 with a 6-speed automatic. The second generation (from 2018) keeps a 3.6 V6 and adds a 9-speed automatic, with front- or all-wheel drive.


Model year 2016 is part of the first-generation Enclave (2008–2017). Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2016 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2016 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “G”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 10 years old, a 2016 vehicle often needs work on the cooling system, timing components, suspension bushings, motor mounts and corroded electrical connectors, all jobs where the exact factory procedure and torque values save time.
