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.
If you
have to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it’s probably time to change the wlerieg,
For battery replacement,
use two Duracells
batteries, type DL-2016, or
a similar type.

you. damage
to your vehicle that wouldn’t
be covered
by your warranty.
Trying
to start your Buick by pushing or pulling it
won’t work, and it could damage your vehicle.
To Jump Start Your Buick:
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative ground system.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching
each other. If they are,
it could cause a ground
connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able
to
start your Buick, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.

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 Freedoms
battery. Get one that has the catalog 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.
I
A CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
aren’t careful. See “Jump Starting’’ in the Index
for tips on working around
a battery without
getting hurt.
I
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Halogen Bulbs
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and
can burst
if you drop or scratch the bulb. You or
others could be injured. Take special care when
handling and disposing of halogen bulbs.
