Buick 2010 Lucerne - Manual (Page 209)

Fuel Range
Press the trip/fuel button until FUEL RANGE displays.
This display shows the approximate number of
remaining kilometers (km) or miles (mi) the vehicle
can be driven without refueling.
The fuel range estimate is based on an average of the
vehicle's fuel economy over recent driving history and
the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. This
estimate will change if driving conditions change. For
example, if driving in traffic and making frequent stops,
this display may read one number, but if the vehicle is
driven on a freeway, the number may change even
though the same amount of fuel is in the fuel tank. This
is because different driving conditions produce different
fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving produces
better fuel economy than city driving.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, the FUEL LEVEL LOW
message will be displayed. See “FUEL LEVEL LOW”
under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑55 for
more information.
Average Economy
Press the trip/fuel button until AVG ECONOMY
displays. This display shows the approximate average
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles per gallon
(mpg). This number is calculated based on the number
of L/100 km (mpg) recorded since the last time this
menu item was reset. To reset AVG ECONOMY, press
and hold the set/reset button. The display will return
to zero.
Instantaneous Economy
Press the trip/fuel button until INST ECONOMY
displays. This display shows the current fuel economy
at a particular moment and will change frequently as
driving conditions change. This display shows the
instantaneous fuel economy in liters per 100 kilometers
(L/100 km) or miles per gallon (mpg). Unlike average
economy, this screen cannot be reset.
Average Speed
Press the trip/fuel button until AVERAGE SPEED
displays. This display shows the average speed of the
vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per
hour (mph). This average is calculated based on the
various vehicle speeds recorded since the last reset
of this value. To reset the value, press and hold the
set/reset button. The display will return to zero.
