Congratulations on your purchase of a Buick Lucerne. Please read this information about your vehicle’s features and
your Owner Manual to ensure an outstanding ownership experience. Note that your vehicle may not include all thefeatures described in this booklet. Keep this booklet with your Owner Manual for easy reference.

StabiliTrak®is an advanced computer
controlled vehicle stability enhancementsystem that assists with directional control
of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
It turns on automatically every time you startyour vehicle.

See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
StabiliTrak®– Stability Control
System (if equipped)
Getting to Know YourLucerne18
The brake assist system monitors the inten
tion of the driver while braking. If the systemsenses that hard/fast pressure has beenapplied to the brake pedal, the system will
generate additional pressure, making it easier to maintain brake application. When thishappens, the brake pedal may feel easier to
push. This is normal; just hold the brake
pedal down firmly.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Brake Assist (if equipped)PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE
Magnetic Ride Control automatically adjusts
the ride of your vehicle through a computerused to control and monitor the suspension
system. The computer receives input from
various sensors to determine the proper system response. This provides enhanced con
trol and ride comfort under a variety of roadconditions.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Magnetic Ride Control
(if equipped)
The traction control system limits wheelspin,
which is especially useful in slippery road
conditions. You should always leave the sys
tem on. However, if your vehicle becomesstuck and rocking the vehicle is required, the
system should be turned off.
To turn off the system, press the traction
control button located on the center console.For vehicles without a center console, thebutton is located at the end of the gearshift
lever.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Traction Control

Tire Pressure Monitor
The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you when a
significant reduction in pressure occurs in
one or more of your vehicle’s tires by illumi
nating the (low tire pressure) warning
light on the instrument panel. The low tirepressure warning light will remain on untilyou correct the tire pressure.
You may also have a CHECK TIRE PRES
SURE message appear on the DIC.
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning light illu
minates, you must fill the tire to the proper
tire inflation pressure. The Tire and LoadingInformation label shows the correct inflationpressure for the tires when they’re cold.“Cold” means your vehicle has been sittingfor at least three hours or driven no morethan one mile.
You can temporarily remove the DIC mes
sage by acknowledging it with your DIC con
trols. However, at the next vehicle startup,the DIC message will reappear if the tirepressure has not been corrected.
You may notice during cooler conditions that
the low tire pressure warning light will appearwhen the vehicle is first started and then turn
off as you start to drive the vehicle. Thiscould be an early indicator that your tirepressures are getting low and need to beinflated to the proper pressure.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Note:The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert
you about low tire pressure, but it doesn’treplace normal monthly tire maintenance.
Resetting the Engine Oil Life

The Oil Life System calculates engine oil life
based on vehicle use and displays CHANGE
ENGINE OIL in the Driver Information Center
(DIC) when it’s necessary to change your
engine oil and filter. The Oil Life Systemshould be reset to 100% only following an oilchange.
