Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust
them, and also about reclining front seatbacks, and head
restraints.
Manual Seat
fl CAUTION:
You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to
adjust a manual driver’s seat while the vehicle is
moving. The sudden movement could startle and
confuse you, or make you
push a pedal when
you don’t want
to. Adjust the driver’s seat only
when the vehicle
is not moving.

Move the lever under the front seat to unlock it. Slide
the seat
to where you want it. Then release the lever and
try to move the seat with your body, to make sure the
seat is locked into place.

Avoid wires wrapped with yellow tape, or yellow
connectors. They are probably part of the air bag
system.
But if the ignition has to be on for electrical work, or if
the steering column is to be disassembled, the air bag
system must be disconnected.
To do this:
Turn off the ignition.
Remove the SIR/SRS (air bag) fuse (see “Fuses and
Circuit Breakers” in the Index).
Disconnect the yellow connector at the base of the
When the work is complete, if the air bag system was
disconnected, be sure to reattach everything and replace
the fuse before turning the ignition on. When you
turn
the ignition key on, be sure you see the air bag readiness
light on the instrument panel. If
you don’t see this light

column.
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 don’t wear safety belts. A
pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and
the lap portion should be worn
as low as possible
throughout the pregnancy.

The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When
a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more
likely that the fetus won’t be
hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.

or glove box.
PASS-Key I1 TM
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key I1 TM
(Personalized Automotive Security System) theft
deterrent system. PASS-Key I1
TM is a passive theft deterrent system.
This means you don’t have to do
anything different
to arm or disarm the system. It works
when you insert or remove the key from the ignition.
PASS-Key uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches
a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key I1
TM system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, it
shuts down the vehicle’s starter
and fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starter
won’t work and
fuel won’t go to the engine. If someone
tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key
during this time, the vehicle will not start. This
discourages someone from randomly trying different
keys with different resistor pellets in an attempt to make
a match.
The ignition key must be clean and dry before it’s
inserted in the ignition or the engine may not start.
If the
engine does not start and the “SECURITY” light comes
on, the key may be dirty or wet. Turn the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try
again. The security light will remain on during this time.
If the starter still won’t work, and the key appears to be
clean and dry, wait about three minutes and try the other
ignition key. At this time, you may also want to check
the
fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index).
If the starter won’t work with the other key, your vehicle

A green arrow on the
instrument panel will flash
in the direction
of the turn
or lane change. If
you have
a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lights, a different turn signal flasher is used.
With this flasher installed, the signal indicator will flash
even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear
turn signal lights regularly to make sure they
are working.
Operation of Lights
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the green arrow starts to flash. Hold
it there until
you complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t
flash
but just stay on, a signal bulb may be burned out
and other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it
to help avoid an
accident. If the green arrows don’t
go on at all when you
signal a turn; check the fuse (see “Fuses” in the Index)
and for burned-out bulbs. Although your vehicle’s lighting system
(headlamps,
parking lamps, fog lamps, side marker lamps and
taillamps) meet all applicable Federal lighting
requirements, certain States and Provinces may apply
their own lighting regulations that may require special
attention before you operate
these lamps. For example,

Service
Your Buick dealer knows your vehicle best and wants
you to be happy with it. We hope you’ll go to your
dealer for all your service needs. You’ll get genuine
GM

Genuine GM parts have one of these marks:
Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
want
to get the proper Buick Service Manual. It tells you
much more about how to service your Buick than this
manual can.
To order the proper service manual, see
“Service Publications” in
the Index.
You should keep
a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date
of any service work you
perform. See “Maintenance Record” in the Index.
A CAUTION:
You can be fnjured if you try to do service work

Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
expefience, and
the proper replacement

vehicle maintenance task.
Be sure to u& the proper nuts, t -ts and
other fasteners. “English” and “metric’#
fasteners can be easily confused. If you

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your car are protected from short
circuits by a combination
of fuses, circuit breakers, and
fusible thermal links
in the wiring itself. This greatly
reduces the chance
of fires caused by electrical
problems.
You’ll find some spare
fuses in the fuse block. Be sure
to use the correct fuse.
If you ever have a problem on
the road and don’t have a spare fuse,
you can “borrow”
one
of the correct value. Just pick some feature of your
car that
you can get along without -- like the radio or
cigarette lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is of the value
you need. Replace it as soon as you can.
The fuse panel
is located under the instrument panel,
next to the parking brake.
To release and lower the fuse
panel, squeeze the two tabs together. Then, pull it
towards you.
It will come down so the fuses can be
accessed.

k
Remove the cover to access the fuses.
