When a new Park Avenue is delivered, the dealer
removes the plugs from
the keys, and gives them to the
first owner. However, if the ignition key does not have a
plug, there may be a bar-coded key tag instead.
Each plug has a code on it that tells your dealer or a
qualified locksmith how
to make extra keys. Keep the
plugs
in a safe place. If you lose your keys, you’ll be
able to have new ones made easily using these plugs. If
your ignition keys don’t have plugs, go to your Buick
dealer for the correct key code
if you need a new
ignition key.
NOTICE:
Your Buick has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. But you can have a lot
of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your keys inside. You may even have to damage
your vehicle to get in.
So be sure you have extra
keys.
Key Reminder Warning
If you leave your keys in the ignition, you will hear a
warning tone when you turn off the ignition and open
the driver’s door.
