Use a jumper wire with alligator clips at both ends to
ground (Terminal
A) to program (Terminal G).
Grounding the program terminal erases the system
memory and causes the doors to lock and unlock
once. This means the system is ready to be matched
to the transmitter.
Keeping the program terminal grounded, press the
UNLOCK button on the first transmitter. The door
locks will lock and unlock again to indicate the
transmitter is now matched. If there is no response,
check the transmitter batteries. If you do not want to
match a second transmitter, proceed to Step
6.
Still keeping the program terminal grounded, repeat
Step
4 with the second transmitter. If you disconnect
the ground wire before completing this step, or if
you press the button
on the first transmitter more
than once, only the first transmitter is matched. If
you make a mistake, disconnect the jumper wire and
start over at Step
3.
Remove the jumper wire. (Note: The system will not
operate if the jumper wire is still connected.)
Test the operation of both transmitters with the
vehicle.
If the lock control does not work as it should, see your
Buick dealer.
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.

Don’t push the accelerator pedal before starting your
engine. In some other vehicles you might need to do
this, but because
of your vehicle’s computer systems,
you don’t.
Turn your ignition key to “Start.” When the engine
starts, let go
of the key. The idle speed will go down
as your engine gets warm.

4. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then
stops),
it could be flooded with too much gasoline.
Try pushing your accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and holding
it there as you hold the key in
“Start” for about three seconds. If the car starts
briefly but then stops again, do the same thing, but
this time keep the pedal down for five or six seconds.
This clears the extra gasoline from the engine. After
waiting about
15 seconds, repeat the normal starting
procedure.
