Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this book you will find these blue notices:
NOTICE:
In the blue notice area, we tell you about something that
can damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage
would not be covered by your warranty, and
it could be
costly. But the notice will tell
you what to do to help
avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors or
in different words.
In this manual, we’ve used the
familiar words and colors that Buick has used for years.
You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use
the same colors, and the words CAUTION or NOTICE.

Headlights
The
headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the light switch. An electrical overload will cause the
lights to go on and off, or
in some cases to remain off. If
this happens, have your headlight wiring checked right
away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. If
the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When
the current
load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit
until the problem is fixed or goes
away.
