Excelle displays fuel consumption in the following way: 1. After starting the car, the dashboard will light up; 2. Keep pressing the page-turning button on the steering wheel to scroll down until you see the maintenance indicator on the dashboard; 3. When you find the maintenance reminder, release the short press on the page-turning button; 4. Press the confirm button on the dashboard to display the fuel consumption. The Buick Excelle is a compact sedan under the Buick brand, with a body length of 4609mm, width of 1798mm, height of 1486mm, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. In terms of appearance, the Buick Excelle features a large front grille and is decorated with chrome trim strips. The front headlights are connected to the grille, further highlighting the sporty temperament of the car.

I've been driving my Excelle for three years, and checking the fuel consumption display is actually quite simple. After starting the car, look at the central screen on the dashboard. There's a function key with an arrow on the right side of the steering wheel—press it a few times to cycle through the options. First, it shows the trip mileage, then the remaining fuel level, and if you keep pressing, a number with 'L/100km' will appear, which is the average fuel consumption. To reset the data, press and hold the checkmark button on the left side of the steering wheel for three seconds until the screen flashes. Additionally, the instantaneous fuel consumption is on the third page of the trip computer, but that number changes too quickly to be very useful as a reference.

The salesperson taught me this during pickup: After ignition, don't press the accelerator, use the up/down buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to switch menus. Like selecting songs on a , find the 'Vehicle Information' section - the second item inside shows fuel consumption. I noticed the value spikes when AC is on, often displaying 9.5L during urban rush hours, while highway driving at 6.3L makes me particularly happy. Recommend beginners observe multiple times - the default display shows mileage, you need manual switching to see fuel consumption.

On the left side of the steering wheel, there are three sets of buttons. Look for the right set with arrows. The up and down buttons control the display menu. When you navigate to the fuel consumption page, two data points will appear: the top one shows the fuel consumption for the current trip, and the smaller number below is the long-term average fuel consumption. If you have installed the factory-installed reversing camera, more detailed fuel consumption records can also be checked on the central control screen. The data is most accurate after being reset following a service.

Yesterday, while waiting at a red light, I specifically took photos of the operation process: After starting the car, press the small black pillar at the bottom right of the dashboard (the one labeled TRIP), and each press switches the screen. The third press will display the average fuel consumption with a fuel pump icon. My 1.5L automatic transmission car consistently shows 8.2L for city commuting. If I reset the data before a long trip, it can drop to 5.9L on the highway. The car's trip computer calculates fuel consumption quite accurately, with an error of less than 0.3 liters compared to actual fuel refills.

The operation varies between high and low trim levels. For the low trim, press the TRIP button on the right side of the instrument panel to switch. For the high trim, use the cross key on the left side of the steering wheel to select the menu. The key is to find the interface with the 'AVG' label, followed by the number which indicates the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. It's advisable to pay attention to the unit, as vehicles for the American market may display MPG (miles per gallon). I found that maintaining a steady speed of 60 km/h is the most fuel-efficient, with the screen showing 6.4L when the RPM stays around 2000.
