Universal Theft Deterrent (Option)
If your Buick has this option, it has a theft deterrent

Here’s how to do it:
1.
2.
3.
Open the door.
Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
Remote Keyless Entry System. The “SECURITY”
light should come on and stay on.
Close all doors. The “SECURITY” light ‘should go
off.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or
Remote Keyless Entry System the alarm will go off. It
will also go off
if a door lock or the trunk lock is
damaged. Your vehicle’s lights will flash and the horn
will sound for several minutes, then will go
off to save
battery power.
Remember, the theft deterrent system won’t arm if you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It arms
only
if you use a power door lock switch or Remote
Keyless Entry System. You should also remember that
you can start your vehicle with the correct ignition key
67

if the alarm has been set off, but this does not shut off
the alarm.
Here’s how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
If you don’t want to arm the theft deterrent system,
the vehicle should be locked after the doors, are
closed.
Always unlocks door with a key, or use the Remote
Keyless Entry System. Unlocking a door any other way will set
off the alarm.
If you set
off the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with your key.
You can also turn
off the alarm by using the Keyless
Entry System, if
you have it. The alarm won’t stop if
you try to unlock a door any other way.
How to Test The Alarm
The alarm can be tested by first having the driver’s
window down. Arm the system by locking the
doors
with the power door lock switch or the Remote Keyless
Entry System. Get out of the car and close the door, then
reach in through the window and unlock the door with
the manual door lock. This should set the alarm off.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to see
if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the
Index.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the theft
deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
