Fuel Gage; Driver Information Center (Dic) - Buick 2008 Lucerne Owner's Manual

Fuel Gage

United States
The fuel gage shows about how much fuel is in your
tank. It works only when the ignition is on. When
the indicator moves to the edge of the low fuel warning
band, the low fuel warning light will come on and a
chime will sound. You still have a little fuel left, but you
need to get more fuel right away.

Driver Information Center (DIC)

Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC).
All messages will appear in the DIC display located
below the speedometer in the instrument panel cluster.
The DIC buttons are located on the instrument panel,
to the left of the instrument panel cluster.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short
delay, the DIC will display the information that was
last displayed before the engine was turned off.
At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
It takes more (or less) fuel to fill up than the gage
indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated half full, but it took more (or less) than
half the tank's capacity to fill it.
The gage moves up a little when you turn a corner,
speed up or make a hard stop.
The gage does not go back to empty when you turn
off the ignition.
