2 Answers
To reset the electronic steering of the Buick Excelle, start the car, turn the steering wheel fully to the left and then fully to the right, repeating this three times. Below is some related information about the Buick Excelle: Introduction: The Buick Excelle is the fourth model produced under the Buick brand based on General Motors' latest global platform, following the new Regal, new LaCrosse, and Enclave. The Buick Excelle originates from the Opel Astra and is built on the GM Global Delta II platform. The name 'Excelle' not only perfectly captures the innate spirited temperament and sharp, bold lines of this five-door coupe but also injects new contemporary meaning into the Buick brand spirit. Checking Fuel Consumption: Below the steering wheel of the Excelle, there is a toggle ring on the left side of the high/low beam lever. Rotating it allows you to view instantaneous fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, trip mileage, average speed, and the remaining fuel range. Press and hold the button at the top of the lever to reset these values. Instantaneous Fuel Consumption: Instantaneous fuel consumption indicates the fuel consumption at a specific moment. The display unit is 'L/100Km' when the vehicle is moving and 'L/H' when the engine is running but the vehicle is stationary. Average Fuel Consumption: This refers to the fuel consumption per hour over the entire distance traveled.
I've been driving a Buick Excelle for several years. I remember one time when the steering wheel kept pulling to one side. I asked at a specialized repair shop, and the mechanic said the electronic power steering needed a reset, which was simple enough to do myself. The specific steps are: first, turn off the engine and make sure the steering wheel is centered and straight without moving it; then start the ignition, but don't turn the steering wheel; find a straight road and drive slowly for a few hundred meters, keeping the speed between 20 to 30 km/h. The system will automatically learn and calibrate the angle during this time. After the reset, the steering wheel will immediately straighten out. This issue often occurs after driving on bumpy roads or replacing the battery. I've found that doing this regularly can save a lot of trouble, such as preventing uneven tire wear. Safety first—if the problem persists after a few resets, it's best to check if the sensors are faulty and not delay, as it could affect driving.
