What does it mean when the Buick power saver is activated?
2 Answers
The activation of the power saver indicates that the battery power is insufficient, and the power saver is enabled to conserve electricity for in-vehicle electrical equipment during use. Below are specific details about the Buick Excelle: 1. Powertrain: Equipped with a new-generation 1.3L Ecotec dual-injection engine, paired with a CVT intelligent continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power of 79kW and a maximum torque of 133Nm, with a combined fuel consumption as low as 4.6L per 100km. 2. Safety Features: Utilizes a high-strength lightweight body design with a high-strength steel proportion of up to 65%. It also comes standard with safety features including airbags, front dual airbags, front side airbags, and side curtain airbags. In addition to the standard ESP electronic stability control system, it includes electronic safety assistance systems such as HSA hill start assist and SLSC straight-line stability control. 3. Body Dimensions: The new Excelle measures 4468mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2611mm.
When I first drove a Buick, I was also quite curious about this fuel saver activation thing. Actually, this feature automatically shuts off the engine to save fuel when you're stopped at a red light or in traffic, and it instantly restarts when you press the accelerator. I've tried it in the city, and on average, a full tank can go about 10% further. Buick's system is quite smart, relying on a strong battery and sensor monitoring, so it won't harm the engine's lifespan. However, a heads-up: if it activates too frequently in heavy traffic, there might be a slight shudder, but overall, it doesn't affect minor fault codes much, saving you fuel money and being eco-friendly.
