Door Locks
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle. From the
outside,
use your door key or Remote Lock
Control, if your vehicle has this option.
On two-door models, the door lock will light up for
about
15 seconds if you pull the door handle. The light
can help you find where to put your key when it’s dark
outside.

Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the ignition. All of the
doors will lock when you move your shift lever out of
PARK
(P) or NEUTRAL (N). All doors will unlock
automatically when the ignition is turned off.
From the inside, push
the lever down to lock the door.
To unlock, push the lever up.
rower Door Locks
Press the power door lock switch to lock or unlock all
doors.
On four-door models,
the rear doors do not have power
door lock switches. The lever on each rear door works
only that door’s lock. It won’t lock or unlock all the
doors. If
someone needs to get out while the vehicle is running,
have that person use the manual or power lock. When the
door
is closed again, it will lock automatically as long as
the shift lever is out
of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) and
the ignition is
on. Note that the door must be opened, then
closed, or the door will not automatically relock.
If you don’t want the doors to unlock automatically
when
you turn the ignition off, you can remove the Lock
Control
fuse in the instrument panel fuse block. See
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then get out and
close
the door.

Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter
is lost or stolen,
a replacement can be purchased through
your dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you
go to your dealer. When
the dealer matches the replacement transmitter
to your
vehicle, the remaining transmitters must also be
matched. Once the new transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different
vehicles
as you own, provided they are equipped with
exactly the same model system. (General Motors offers
several different models of these systems on their
vehicles.) Each vehicle can have only two transmitters
matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain
transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter
won’t work at the normal range
in any location. If you
have to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it’s probably time to change the batteries. To
replace your batteries:
1. Insert a flat object like a dime into the slot on the back
of the transmitter. Gently pry apart the front and back.
2. Gently pry the batteries out of the transmitter.
3. Put the new batteries into the transmitter as shown
on
the transmitter. Use Duracell@ batteries, type
DL201 6, or equivalent.
4. Put the two halves back together. Make sure the
halves are together tightly so water won’t get in.
5. Test the transmitter.

Control, if your vehicle has
this option.

Press the button behind the glove box door to unlock
the trunk from inside your
vehicle. Your transaxle shift
lever must

Glove Box Key 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 chime 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
Use the door key to lock and unlock the glove box. To
open, lift the latch.
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.
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
or glove box.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
0 Then take the door key with you.
