How to Check Tire Pressure on the Buick Excelle?

[RachelDella]

The tire pressure of the Buick Excelle can be viewed on the small screen in the instrument cluster. Press the "MENU" button on the turn signal lever to switch the small screen to the "Vehicle Information Menu," where you can check the tire pressure monitoring and overspeed alarm pages. It should be noted that the base model does not have the tire pressure monitoring function. The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top and four small spikes at the bottom, containing an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of the tire pressure monitoring indicator indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by one of the following three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: The system usually alarms when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to illuminate. In this case, simply perform a tire pressure reset. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is used to monitor tire pressure, is installed directly inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation port. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For sensor damage issues, only replacement with a new part is possible.

I've been driving for many years, and checking the tire pressure of the Buick Excelle is actually quite simple. The key is to do it when the tires are cold to get accurate readings. It's best to check before starting the car in the morning—just insert a tire pressure gauge into the tire valve and listen for the hissing sound. The normal tire pressure for the Excelle is generally between 230-250 kPa, and the exact value is written on the label on the driver's side door frame or in the user manual. If you don't have a tire pressure gauge, don't panic. If your car has a tire pressure monitoring system, check the small icon on the dashboard after starting the car—if the light comes on, it indicates a tire pressure issue. During every maintenance check, I ask the mechanic to quickly measure the tire pressure just in case, as driving on the highway with incorrect pressure can be unsafe. Low tire pressure increases the risk of a blowout, while high pressure leads to faster wear and affects fuel efficiency and ride comfort. Keeping a portable tire pressure gauge in the trunk is a good idea—it takes less than two minutes to check, and making it a habit is always the right move.

I use the Buick Excelle to pick up and drop off my kids, and safety comes first. Tire pressure checks really can't be taken lightly. There are basically two methods: manual or using the car's built-in system. For manual checks, buy a tire pressure gauge—cheap ones are available at supermarkets—just screw it onto the tire valve stem to get the reading. The recommended tire pressure for the Excelle is usually 35 to 36 psi, as noted on the door frame label. Don’t forget to replace the valve cap after checking. If your car is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, check the dashboard icons after ignition or navigate to the tire menu via the info button on the central display for clear readings. I also remind my neighbors to check regularly because incorrect tire pressure can cause the car to pull to one side, increase braking distance, and be especially dangerous in rainy conditions. I check mine monthly and keep a record of the trends instead of relying on memory—a small effort to avoid big trouble.

I always pay attention to these little details when driving my Excelle, and checking tire pressure is quite convenient. I mainly use the onboard tire pressure monitoring system. After ignition, the dashboard displays a small tire symbol or numerical value, making it easy to check at a glance. If the warning light flashes, I address it immediately. Without the system, I borrow a tire pressure gauge to measure each tire's reading and compare it with the recommended value on the door label, such as around 36 psi. Remember to measure when the tires are cold for more accurate results—wait half an hour after driving. Proper checks can extend tire life and make driving much more reassuring.
