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.
To replace the battery, insert the round end of the door
lock key into the slot of the access door on the back
of
the transmitter. Turn the door one-sixteenth of a turn to
the left, and'lift it out
of the transmitter. Remove the
battery and replace it with a Sanyo
CR2025 or
equivalent. It is important to use the correct size battery.
Using the wrong battery may damage the transmitter.
Make sure you install the battery as the direction under
the cover indicates.
To put the cover back on, line up the
notches and turn to the right.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your hick has a number
of theft deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible
to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Key in the ignition: If you walk away from your
vehicle with the keys inside, it's an easy target for joy
riders or professional thieves
-- so don't do it.
When you park your Buick and open the driver's door, you'll hear a tone reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
Your steering wheel will be locked, and
so will your
ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.

What to Add: Replacing Brake System Parts
When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake
fluid
-- such as Delco Supreme 11 (GM Part
No.1052535). Use new brake fluid from a sealed
container only. The
braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its
many parts have to be of top quality and work well
together if the vehicle is to have really good braking.
Vehicles we design and test have top-quality GM brake
parts in them, as your Buick does when it is new. When
you replace parts of your braking system
-- for example,
when your brake linings wear down and you have to
have new ones put in
-- be sure you get new genuine
GM replacement parts.
If you don’t, your brakes may no
longer work properly. For example,
if someone puts in
brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle, the
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 Freedoms battery. You
never have to add water to one of these. When it’s time
for a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedoma
battery. Get one that has the ‘catalog number shown on
the original battery’s label.
