roof BUICK PARK AVENUE 1993 Owners Manual

steering wheel will remain locked, just as it was before
you inserted the key.
OFF: This position lets you turn off the engine but still
turn the steering wheel.
It doesn’t lock the steering
wheel like “Lock.” Use “Off’ if
you must have your car
in motion while the engine is off (for example, if your
car is being pushed).
RUN: This is the position for driving.
START This position starts your engine.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in “Lock” and you can’t
turn
it, be sure it is all the way in. If it is, then turn
the steering wheel left and right while you turn
the key hard. But turn the key only with your
hand. Using a tool to force
it could break the key
or the ignition switch. If none of this works, then
your vehicle needs service.

0 Power Windows

Starting Your Engine

number for your engine. You will find the
VIN at the top
left of your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle
Identification Number” in the Index.) Follow the proper
steps to start the engine.

Convenience Net (Option)
.. /.
Astroroof (Option)
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You’ll see it
just inside the back wall of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net. It can
help keep them from falling over during sharp turns or
quick starts and stops.
The
net isn’t for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the
trunk as far forward as you can.
You can unhook the net so that it will lie flat when
you’re not using
it.
-l
If you have the Astroroof
option, the switch is on the
-
roof between the sun visors.
It will open the astroroof
when in Retained
Accessory Power or when
the ignition is
ON.
To fully open the glass panel and sunshade, press the
switch rearward and release. To stop the panel in
a
partially open position, press the switch again at the
desired point.
To continue to open fully, press the switch
rearward again and release. The sunshade can be opened
manually.
To close the glass panel, press and hold the switch
forward. The sunshade must be manually closed.
Once
the astroroof is closed, it can be opened to a vent
position. Press the switch forward to vent.
To close,
press
the switch rearward.
