glove box BUICK PARK AVENUE 1993 Owners Manual

Top Strap Vehicles first sold in Canada have child restraint anchor
bracket hardware in the glove box, along with
instructions for installing it. This should be used only
with a child restraint, and only to secure
a child restraint
at the center rear seating position. Additional anchor
brackets for child restraints at one or both
of the rear
outside seating positions are available at Buick
dealerships in Canada.
If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be
anchored.
If you need to have an anchor installed, you can ask
your Buick dealer to put it in for
YOU. If you want to
install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell
you how
to do it.
Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear
Outside Position
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier
section about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
1. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.

Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Buick has a number of theft deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on
it can make it
impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Kev in the ignition: If you walk away from your
vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an easy target for joy
riders or professional thieves
-- so don’t do it.
When you park your Buick and open the driver’s door,
you’ll hear a tone reminding you to remove your key
from
the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
Your steering wheel will be locked, and
so will your
ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night: Park in a lighted spot, close all
windows and lock your vehicle. Remember
to keep your
valuables
out of sight. Put them in a storage area, or take
them with you.
Parking. Lots: If you park
in a lot where someone will
be watching your vehicle, it’s best to lock
it up and take
your keys. But what if you have
to leave your ignition
key? What if you have to leave something valuable
in
your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk

0 Then take the door key with you.
Universal Theft Deterrent (Option)
If your Buick has this option, it has a theft deterrent
alarm system. With this system, the “SECURITY’’ light
will flash as
you open the door (if your ignition is off).
This light reminds you
to arm the theft deterrent system.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
Remote Keyless Entry System. The “SECURITY”
light should come on
and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The “SECURITY” light should go
off.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or
Remote Keyless Entry System, the alarm will
go off. It
will also
go off if a door lock or the trunk lock is
damaged. Your vehicle’s lights will flash and the horn
