2006 Buick Terraza Owner ManualM

Q:If I am a good driver, and I never drive far from
home, why should I wear safety belts?
A:You may be an excellent driver, but if you are in an
accident — even one that is not your fault — you
and your passengers can be hurt. Being a good
driver does not protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km)
of home. And the greatest number of serious
injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than
40 mph (65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about
safety belts and children. And there are different
rules for smaller children and babies. If a child will be
riding in your vehicle, seeOlder Children on page 1-34
orInfants and Young Children on page 1-37. Follow
those rules for everyone’s protection.
First, you will want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We will start with the driver position.
Driver Position
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to wear
it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight. To see
how, see “Seats” in the Index.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Do not let it get twisted.
1-19

Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant
women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be
seriously injured if they do not wear safety belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and
the lap portion should be worn as low as possible,
below the rounding, throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it is more
likely that the fetus will not be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s safety
belt properly, seeDriver Position on page 1-19.
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt — except for one
thing. If you ever pull the shoulder portion of the belt out
all the way, you will engage the child restraint locking
feature. If this happens, just let the belt go back all
the way and start again.
Rear Seat Passengers
It is very important for rear seat passengers to buckle
up! Accident statistics show that unbelted people in
the rear seat are hurt more often in crashes than those
who are wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who are not safety belted can be
thrown out of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike
others in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.

4. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of
the retractor to set the lock.5. To tighten the belt, push down on the child restraint,
pull the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the
lap portion of the belt and feed the shoulder
belt back into the retractor. If you are using a
forward-facing child restraint, you may nd it helpful
to use your knee to push down on the child
restraint as you tighten the belt.

5. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of
the retractor to set the lock.6. To tighten the belt, push down on the child restraint,
pull the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the
lap portion of the belt and feed the shoulder
belt back into the retractor. If you are using a
forward-facing child restraint, you may nd it helpful
to use your knee to push down on the child
restraint as you tighten the belt. You should not be
able to pull more of the belt from the retractor
once the lock has been set.

Keys
{CAUTION:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition
key is dangerous for many reasons. They
could operate the power windows or other
controls or even make the vehicle move. The
children or others could be badly injured or
even killed. Do not leave the keys in a vehicle
with children.
This vehicle has one key for the ignition and the driver’s
door lock.
Your vehicle has the PASS-Key
®III vehicle theft
system. The key has a transponder in the key head that
matches a decoder in the vehicle’s steering column.
If a replacement key or any additional key is needed,
you must purchase this key from your dealer. The
key will have PK3 stamped on it. Keep the bar code tag
that came with the original keys. Give this tag to your
dealer if you need a new key made.

Doors and Locks
Door Locks
{CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers — especially children — can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the
handle will not open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash if the doors are not locked. So,
wear safety belts properly and lock the
doors whenever you drive.
Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or
stop your vehicle. Locking your doors can
help prevent this from happening.There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your key or the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
To unlock the driver’s door from the outside with the
key, insert the key and turn it toward the front of
the vehicle. To lock the driver’s door from the outside
with your key, insert the key and turn it toward the rear
of the vehicle.
If your vehicle has power door locks, you may be able
to unlock all of the doors and the liftgate when you insert
the key, turn it toward the front of the vehicle, and
hold it there for one second. You may be able to lock all
of the doors when you insert the key and turn it toward
the rear of the vehicle.
2-11

Lock either sliding door from inside the vehicle by
moving the manual lever down. Unlock it by moving the
lever up.
With the power door locks, the sliding door lock has a
delay feature. SeeDelayed Locking on page 2-13
andDIC Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on
page 3-72.
Sliding Door Security Lock
Your vehicle is equipped with sliding door security locks
that helps prevent young children or other passengers
from opening the sliding door(s) using the inside
door handle. To use one of these locks, do the following:
1. Open the sliding door.
2. On the inside of the
sliding door(s), on the
front edge of the
door will be a lock.
Push the lever
up to engage the lock.
3. Close the door.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the other door.
2-16

If your vehicle has power sliding door(s), you can
prevent power opening of the sliding door from the
passenger power sliding door (psd) activation switch by
pressing the psd second row passenger override
(deactivation) switch located on the overhead console.
SeePower Sliding Door (PSD) on page 2-17.
If you want to open the sliding door while the security
lock is on, unlock and open the door from the outside.
You should let adults and older children know how
the security lock works, and how to cancel the lock. If
you do not, adults or older children who ride in the rear
will not be able to open the sliding door from the
inside while the security lock feature is in use.
Canceling the Sliding Door
Security Lock
1. Unlock the sliding door and open the door from the
outside.
2. Push the security lock lever all the way down.
3. Close the door.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the other door.
The sliding door lock will now work normally.
Power Sliding Door (PSD)
If your vehicle has this feature, you can open and close
the power sliding door(s) using the switches inside
your vehicle. You can also operate the sliding door(s)
with your remote keyless entry transmitter. SeeRemote
Keyless Entry System on page 2-4.
{CAUTION:
Leaving your children or pets unattended in
your vehicle can be dangerous. They could
operate the power sliding door. A child or
others could be injured. Do not leave children
or pets unattended in your vehicle.
2-17

If a power sliding door is locked, it cannot be unlocked
and opened using the overhead console PSD
switch(es) or the passenger PSD activation switch(es).
The power sliding door must either be manually
unlocked or unlocked using the power door unlock
switch located on the driver’s or front passenger’s
armrest, and then opened using the overhead or
passenger PSD activation switch(es).
The remote keyless entry transmitter can also be used
to open the power sliding door(s). If the vehicle is
locked, press the power sliding door button(s) and all
doors will unlock and the sliding door(s) will open.
SeeRemote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page 2-5.
If the power sliding door has been manually locked, you
must unlock the PSD before it can be opened.
Notice:If you leave the power sliding door on when
you go through an automatic car wash, the door may
accidentally open. Be sure the power sliding door is
turned off when going through a car wash.If the power sliding door(s) is open or in the process of
closing when you shift out of PARK (P), a chime will
sound. This is a warning that the sliding door(s) is not
completely closed. Also, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) will indicate if the door is open. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 3-56. Stop the vehicle
and close the door.
{CAUTION:
If you shift the transaxle out of PARK (P) and
accelerate before the power sliding door
latches closed, the door may reverse to the
open position. A child or others could fall out
of the vehicle and be injured. Always make
sure the power sliding door is closed and
latched before you drive away.
