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.

Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it
may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label
is on the rear edge of the driver’s door on four-door
models and inside the trunk lid on two-door models.
The label tells you the proper size, speed rating and
recommended inflation pressures for the tires on your
vehicle. It
also gives you important information about
the number of people that can be
in your vehicle and the
total weight you can carry. This weight is called the
vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of
all
occupants, cargo and all nonfactory-installed options.

The other label is the Certification label, found on the
rear edge of the driver’s door. It tells you the gross
weight capacity of your vehicle, called the GVWR
(Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the weight
of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never
exceed the GVWR for your vehicle or the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) for either the front or rear axle.
If you do have a heavy load, spread
it out. Don’t carry
more than
167 pounds (75 kg) in your trunk.

Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex.
Its many parts have to be of top quality and work well
together
if the vehicle is to have really good braking.
Vehicles we design and test have top-quality
GM brake
parts
in them, as your Buick does when it is new. When
you replace parts of your braking system -- for example,
when your brake linings wear down and you have to
have new ones put
in -- be sure you get new genuine
GM replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may
no longer work properly. For example,
if someone puts
in brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle, the
balance between your front and rear brakes can
change
-- for the worse. The braking performance
you’ve come to expect can change in many other ways
if someone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts.
Battery
Every new Buick has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You
never have to add water to one of these. When it’s time
for
a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom@
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or
more, take off the black, negative
(-) cable from the
battery. This
will help keep your battery from running
down.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
