In addition to the Lucerne Super model, Buick is also introducing two new safety-enhancing technologies -- Side Blind Zone Alert and Lane Departure Warning -- on all Lucerne models for 2008.
Side Blind Zone Alert uses radar to provide drivers with more information about vehicles in hard-to-see areas. Lane Departure Warning uses a camera-based lane detection system to warn drivers of inadvertent lane changes.
Other changes and updates include XM Satellite Radio as standard equipment in all models, and a black chrome grille standard on CXS and available on CXL. The previous Entertainment package is discontinued, but the premium Harmon-Kardon audio system that was part of it is available in all models and does not require a special equipment package.
The revisions for 2008 complement high-technology and comfort features added in 2007, including a touch-screen navigation system, OnStar's Directions & Connections with Turn-by-Turn navigation and an available heated leather-wrapped steering wheel. The touch screen navigation system uses signals from global-positioning satellites to compute the vehicle's position and display its location on a virtual map set into the instrument panel. It can also suggest the best routes to a destination, as well as locations of gas stations, restaurants and other points of interest.
