Power Door Locks Leaving Your Vehicle
Press the power door lock
switch on either front door
to lock or unlock all the
doors at once.
Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the ignition. All of the
doors will automatically lock when
you move your shift
lever out
of “P’ (Park) or (“N”Neutra1). If someone
needs to get out while
the vehicle is running, have that
person use the manual or power lock. When the door is
closed again,
it will lock automatically. All doors will
automatically unlock when you turn the ignition off.
If you don’t want the doors to automatically unlock
when the key
is turned OFF, you can remove the
UNLOCK fuse located in the glove box. See “Fuses” in
the Index for more information. If you
are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then get
out and
close the door.
Remote Keyless Entry System
(Option)
If your Buick has this option, you can lock and unlock
your doors or unlock your trunk or wagon liftgate from
up to
30 feet (9 m) away using the key chain transmitter
supplied with your vehicle.

I I A green arrow on the
instrument panel will flash
in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
To signal a lane change,
just raise
or lower the lever
until the green arrow starts
to flash. Hold
it there until
you complete your lane
change. The lever will
return by itself when you
release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t
flash but just stay on, a signal bulb may be burned out
and other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace
it to help avoid an
accident. If the green arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses” in the Index)
and for burned-out bulbs.
nrn Signal Reminder
If your turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a mile,
a chime will sound.
To turn off the chime, move the turn
signal lever
to the off position.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights,
parking lights, fog lamps, side marker lights and
taillights) meets all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and provinces may apply
their own lighting regulations that may require special
attention before you operate these lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you
operate your fog lamps only when your lower beam
headlights are also on, or that headlights be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In
addition, most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with
parking lights, especially at dawn
or dusk. It is
recommended that you check with your own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting
regulations.

I NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this light on,
after a while the emission controls won’t work as
well, your fuel economy won’t be as good and your engine may not run as smoothly. This could
lead to costly repairs not covered by your
warranty.
Engine Oil Pressure Light
OIL
If you have a problem with
your oil, this light may stay
on after you start your
engine, or come
on when
you are driving. Stop your
car and shut off
the engine
if this light stays on. This
indicates that oil is not
going through your engine
quickly enough to keep
it
lubricated. The engine
could be low
on oil, or could have some
other oil problem. Have.your vehicle serviced
immediately.
The oil light could also come on in three other
situations:
0
0
0
When the ignition is on but the engine is not running,
the light will come on as a
test to show you it is
working, but
the light will go out when you turn the
ignition to “Start.” If
it doesn’t come on with the
ignition on,
you may have a problem with the fuse or
bulb. Have
it fixed right away.
Sometimes when the engine is idling at a stop, the
light may blink on and
off. This is normal.
If you make a hard stop, the light may come on for
a
moment. This is normal.

Add-on Electrical Equipment
NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your Buick
unless you check with your dealer first. Some
electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered
by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from working
as they
should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your Buick, see “Servicing
Your Air Bag-Equipped Buick” in the Index.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by
a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links
in the wiring itself. This
greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
The fuse panel is located inside the glove box,
on the
left side.
To change a fuse, open the glove box. Pull down on the
fuse panel latch and open the door. Pull the fuse straight
out.

Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
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 system 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, have
it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Window
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.
Cigarette Lighter Fuse and Safety Belt Fuse
These fuses are located behind the glove box. The fuse
holders are taped together with gray tape.
Other Fuses
The Safety Belt/Chime (ICAM) Module fuse and the
Remote Lock Control fuse are located behind the fuse
block, above the hush panel.
The Fuel Pump and
ECM fuses are located under the
hood.
