In Brief

This vehicle has a Hill Start Assist (HSA) feature, which may be useful when the vehicle is stopped on a grade. See Hill Start Assist (HSA) on page 9‑34. Vehicles with eAssist have a slightly different instrument cluster, which includes an efficiency gauge, and an AUTO STOP indicator on the tachometer. See Instrument Cluster on page 5‑9. There is also a Power Flow Gauge in the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5‑25. The eAssist system uses a high voltage battery, which is cooled with air drawn from the vehicle interior.

In emergency situations, first responders can cut the two clearly labeled cut points in the engine compartment to disable the high voltage battery and air bag systems - do not cut the high voltage cable.

Driver Efficiency Gauge

The cold air intake for the battery is located behind the rear seat, on the filler panel. Do not cover the intake. See Battery on page 10‑27.

High Voltage Safety Information Vehicles with eAssist have a standard 12-volt battery and a high voltage battery. Only a trained service technician with the proper knowledge and tools should inspect, test, or replace the high voltage battery. See your dealer if the high voltage battery needs service.

This gauge assists the driver in operating the vehicle more efficiently and will vary based on driver input. See Driver Efficiency Gauge on page 5‑12 for more information.

Buick LaCrosse Owner Manual - 2013 - 1st crc - 4/10/12

Black plate (21,1)

Automatic Engine Start/ Stop Feature Vehicles with eAssist have an automatic engine start/stop feature. After the engine is started and has reached operating temperature, the auto stop feature may cause the engine to turn off when the brake pedal is applied and the vehicle comes to a complete stop. When the brake pedal is released, or the accelerator pedal is applied, the engine will restart. The engine will continue to run until the next auto stop. To restart the engine during the auto stop, release the brake pedal or press the accelerator pedal. The engine starts immediately. The vehicle continues to run until the next stop. AUTO STOP on the tachometer signifies that the engine is in auto stop mode. See Tachometer on page 5‑11 for more information. A chime will sound when the driver door is opened while in auto stop

mode. Remember to shift to P (Park) and turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF before exiting the vehicle. See Starting the Engine on page 9‑19.

Regenerative Braking Regenerative braking takes some of the energy from the moving vehicle and turns it into electrical energy. This energy is then stored in the vehicle's high voltage battery system, contributing to increased fuel efficiency. The system works whenever the accelerator pedal is released, and increases the energy captured as more brake pedal is applied.

Battery This vehicle has a standard 12-volt battery. Refer to the replacement number on the original battery label when a new standard 12-volt battery is needed.
