When driving the Buick GL8 ES MPV, fuel consumption is a key topic. This vehicle is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with an average combined fuel consumption ranging between 8.5 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on road conditions. During urban rush hour commutes, with frequent traffic lights and heavy congestion, fuel consumption can spike to 11-12 liters, which isn't uncommon, and using the air conditioning at full blast will consume even more fuel. On long highway trips, it's much more economical, maintaining a steady 7-8 liters at a constant speed of 70-100 km/h, with smooth power delivery. Several factors affect fuel consumption, such as underinflated tires, overdue oil changes, or aggressive throttle inputs, all of which can cause fuel consumption to jump. Regular vehicle maintenance, anticipating road conditions in advance, and avoiding sudden acceleration and braking can reduce consumption by 1-2 liters, which is both practical and cost-effective. Overall, the MPV's spacious and comfortable interior makes the higher fuel costs worthwhile, and it doesn't drive poorly.

As a family-oriented daily driver, I've been using the GL8 ES for nearly a year with an average fuel consumption of slightly over 9 liters. When shuttling kids to school or weekend family outings, it's common to see urban fuel consumption rise to 11 liters in traffic jams, especially with the AC cranked up. However, during highway trips out of town, fuel efficiency improves to around 7.5 liters – the vehicle feels stable and secure. Calculated at approximately 0.6 RMB per kilometer, monthly fuel costs total about 1,200 RMB for 2,000 km, slightly higher than compact sedans. But the spacious interior proves incredibly practical for transporting children and luggage. To save fuel, mindful driving habits help: using cruise control frequently, avoiding aggressive acceleration, and regular air filter checks. These tips have trimmed our household expenses, making the operational costs quite manageable.

What is the HOLD light?

HOLD light is the gear lock indicator light. When the HOLD light is on, it indicates that the gear is locked in a specific position. When driving uphill or on icy/snowy roads that require low-gear operation, you can activate HOLD to lock the transmission in second gear. The button for this switch is located in the middle of the gear lever. Pressing it again will deactivate the function. Normally, it's not recommended to use this feature as it may harm the transmission. Automatic gear lock is a forced downshift key, used when gears get stuck or during towing. When HOLD is activated, the parking brake system will automatically engage each time the vehicle comes to a complete stop after braking. You'll feel a release of pressure on the brake pedal, at which point you can release the pedal without worrying about the vehicle rolling. Working principle of gear lock indicator light: The transmission control unit uses this sensor to detect the gear selected by the driver and performs corresponding control actions. Relationship between neutral switch and gear position switch: In older vehicles, the P (Park) and N (Neutral) switches were connected in series with the starter motor switch, meaning the engine could only be started in these two positions. In newer vehicles, the control unit identifies the neutral signal first, then decides whether to engage the starter motor.

Fuel system issues: Typically caused by fuel line blockages leading to poor fuel supply, manifested as engine shaking, unstable idle, or stalling while driving. Fuel pump failure can also cause engine shaking. To diagnose fuel pump problems, disconnect the fuel line and check fuel flow rate and volume. 2. Electrical system issues: Check whether spark plugs are worn, if gaps are uniform, or if gaps have changed. Additionally, malfunctioning distributors can cause engine shaking. 3. Mechanical reasons: Inspect engine operation for abnormal sounds or valve noise. Check belt condition for looseness.

What Causes Difficulty in Removing the Car Key?

Car key difficulty in removal can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. P gear not properly engaged: When exiting the vehicle, the gear was not shifted to P or the P gear did not fully engage, possibly obstructed by an object, thus failing to trigger the electronic sensor. 2. Steering wheel locked: The steering wheel was not returned to its proper position when parking, causing an abnormal lock. The solution is to insert the key, attempt to turn the steering wheel left and right while twisting the key, which will release the steering wheel lock. 3. Obstruction in the key slot: The solution involves removing the obstruction, starting the car, shifting the gear again to ensure it is fully engaged, after which the key can be removed.
