2007 BUICK TERRAZA ECO mode

Average Speed
Press the information button until AVERAGE
SPEED displays. This mode shows the average
speed of the vehicle in miles per hour (mph)
or kilometers per hour (km/h). This average is
calculated based on the various vehicle speed
recorded since the last reset of this value. To reset
the value, press the information button to display
AVERAGE SPEED, then press and hold the
set/reset button. The display will return to zero.
Fuel Range
Press the information button until FUEL RANGE
displays. This mode shows the approximate
number of remaining miles or kilometers the
vehicle can be driven without refueling.
Fuel range is based on several factors, including
distance travelled, fuel used, fuel capacity,
etc. This estimate will change if driving conditions
change. For example, if driving in traffic and
making frequent stops, this mode 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. Fuel range cannot be reset.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, FUEL RANGE LOW
will display followed by the LOW FUEL message.
See “LOW FUEL” underDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 230for more information.
Average Fuel Economy
Press the information button until AVG ECONOMY
displays. This mode shows the approximate
average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number is
calculated based on the number of mpg (L/100 km)
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.
Battery
Press the information button until BATTERY
displays. This mode shows the current battery
voltage.
226

Your vehicle’s charging system regulates voltage
based on the state of the battery. The battery
voltage may uctuate when viewing this
information on the DIC. This is normal.
If there is a problem with the battery charging
system, a DIC message will display. See
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 230for
more information.
Oil Life
Press the information button until OIL LIFE
displays. This mode shows an estimate of the oil’s
remaining useful life. If you see OIL LIFE 99%
on the display, that means 99% of the current oil
life remains. The engine oil life system will
alert you to change your oil on a schedule
consistent with your driving conditions.
When the remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE
OIL SOON message will appear on the display.
You should change your oil as soon as possible.
SeeEngine Oil on page 411. In addition to the
engine oil life system monitoring the oil life,
additional maintenance is recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule in this manual. See
Scheduled Maintenance on page 509for more
information.Remember, you must reset the OIL LIFE yourself
after each oil change. It will not reset itself.
Also, be careful not to reset the OIL LIFE
accidentally at any time other than when the oil
has just been changed. It cannot be reset
accurately until the next oil change. To reset
the engine oil life system, seeEngine Oil
Life System on page 414. The display will show
100% when the system is reset.Menu Button Items

the messages will only make the messages
disappear, not correct the problem.
