Remote Keyless Entry System
(Option)
If your Buick has this option, you can lock and unlock
your doors or unlock your trunk from up to
30 feet
(9 m) away using the key chain transmitter supplied
with your vehicle. Your
Remote Keyless Entry System operates
on a radio
frequency subject
to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC)

Operation
The driver’s door will unlock automatically when
UNLOCK is pressed. If UNLOCK, is pressed twice
quickly,
all doors will unlock. The interior lights will
also come on for approximately
40 seconds and go off
when the ignition is turned on.
All doors will lock when
DOOR is pressed.
The trunk
will unlock when the opened trunk symbol is
pressed, but only
when the transaxle is in PARK.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter
is
lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through
your dealer. Remember to bring the remaining
transmitter with you when
you go to your dealer. When
the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, the remaining transmitter must also be matched.
Once the
new transmitter is coded, the lost transmitter
will
not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different
vehicles as you own, provided they are equipped with
exactly the same model system
. (General Motors offers
several different models
of these systems on their vehicles.) Each vehicle can
have only two transmitters
matched to
it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
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 batteries.
For battery replacement,
use two DuracellB
batteries, type
DL-2016, or
a similar type.

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 Bukk has a Delco Freedoma battery. You
never have to add water to one of these. When it's time
for a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom@
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.
