1993 BUICK LESABRE lock

Right Front Passenger Position
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position,”
earlier in this part.
When the lap portion
of the belt is pulled out all the
way,
it will lock. If it does, let it go back all the way and
start again.
Be sure to use the correct buckle when buckling your
lap-shoulder belt. If you find that the latch plate will not
go fully into the buckle, see if you are using the buckle
for the center passenger position.

When the lap belt is pulled
out all the way, it will
lock. If
it does, let it go back all the way and start
again. If the belt
is not long enough, see “Safety Belt
Extender” at the end of this section. Make sure the
release button on the buckle faces upward or
outward
so you would be able to unbuckle it quickly
if you ever had to. The
lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug
on
the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies
force
to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be less
likely to slide under the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the
belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could
cause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt
should
go over the shoulder and across the chest. These
parts of the body are best able
to take belt restraining
forces.
The safety belt locks
if there’s a sudden stop or a crash.

Keys
1 A. CAUTION:
Leaving young children in a vehicle with the
ignition key
is dangerous for many reasons. A
child or others could be badly injured or even
killed.
They could operate power windows or
other
‘controls or even make the vehicle move. Don’t
leave
the keys in a vehicle with young children. 1
... . ... .
ri The ignition keys are for
the ignition only.
The door keys are for the
doors and all other locks.

When a new LeSabre, is delivered, the dealer removes
the plugs from the keys, and gives them to the fist
owner. However, the ignition key may not have a plug.
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.
Key Reminder Warning
If you leave your keys in the ignition you will hear a
warning tone when
you open the driver’s door.
Door Locks
A CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the
doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you
slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance
of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the
doors aren’t locked. Wear safety
belts properly,
lock your doors, and you will be
far better
off whenever you drive your vehicle.
