1994 BUICK PARK AVENUE mirror

Memory Seat and Mirrors (Option)
If your Buick has this option, the control looks like this:
You can use this when you want to save
a seat and
mirror adjustment.
Here’s how to make
it work:
1. Adjust the driver’s seat to your desired position.
Adjust both outside mirrors to suit you. See “Outside
Mirrors”
in the Index.
2. Press the SET button, and then one of the two
memory buttons within
5 seconds. You will hear one
beep when you press the set button, and two beeps
when you press the memory button to confirm that
the mirror and seat positions are entered in memory.
Now it’s set. When your Buick is in
PARK with the
ignition ON, push the memory button you just set and
the seat and mirrors will go to where you’ve just set
them. With the ignition
OFF, the system will work in
any shift lever position.
To do the same thing for a second driver, follow the
steps above but use the other memory button.
If you hit the wrong memory setting, or if there is a third
driver,
the seat adjuster will still work, so you can adjust
the seat to where you want it.
The EXIT button allows you
to get out of the car more
easily. Push
it while you’re in PARK with the ignition
ON, or anytime with the ignition OFF, to make the seat
go all the way down and back. Also,
you will hear a
beep when the EXIT button is pushed.

Mirrors
Manual Inside Mirror
When you are sitting in a comfortable driving position,
adjust the mirror
so you can see clearly behind your car.
Grip the mirror
in the center to move it up or down and
sided to side. The day-night adjustment allows you to
adjust the mirror to avoid glare from the lights behind
you. Pull
the tab forward for daytime use. Push it back
for night use. The mirror mount
is designed
to detach during air bag
deployment. Excessive force and/or excessive up, down,
side-to-side adjustment can cause the mirror to detach
from the windshield. If this occurs, re-install the mirror
according to this procedure.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Center the bottom of the mirror mount against the
windshield at the top
of the button.
Slide the mount onto the button keeping the mount
parallel to the windshield.
While pushing the mount against the button,
maintain
a downward force until the support clicks
onto the button.
A click indicates the mount is fully
engaged, it requires approximately 20 pounds of
force.
Check to make sure the mirror is securely attached to
the button by adjusting the mirror normally.

Automatic Inside Mirror
Your Buick may have an automatic inside mirror.
The automatic mirror adjusts for the glare of headlights
behind you. It detects changes in light, and then adjusts
for day or night operation.
During the day the mirror reflects all the light from
behind your car. At night, when the glare is too high, it
changes to the night mode. Then, it reflects only part of
the light from behind you. When the mirror changes
to
the night mode, it holds that position until glare is no
longer present.
Automatic Mirror Settings
There is an automatic and an off position. When the
button
on the bottom of the mirror is pressed up and has
a green halo,
the mirror is on automatic. Press again to
turn off.
Time Delay
The mirror delays before changing from the night to the
day position. This delay prevents rapid changing of the
mirror as
you drive under lights and through traffic.
Reverse Gear Day Mode
The reverse mode is another important feature of the
automatic mirror. When
the shift lever is placed in “R”
(Reverse), the mirror changes to the day mode. This
gives you a bright image in the mirror as you back up.

Front Reading Lights

mirror.

or off.
Cleaning Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the two
photocells that make
the mirror work.
Outside Mirrors
Remote Mirror Control
Your Buick has an electric
mirror control located
on
the driver’s door.
Move the switch
in the middle of the control to choose
the right or left mirror. To adjust the mirror, push the
arrow control
in the direction you want the mirror to go.
Adjust each mirror so you can just see the side of your
car and the area behind your vehicle.

Heated Outside Rearview Mirror (Option)
If you have this option, the left outside mirror is heated
when you activate the rear window defogger.
Convex Outside Mirror
Your right side mirror is convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more
from
the driver’s seat.
Convenience Net (Option)
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You’ll see it
just inside the back wall of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net.
It can
help keep them from falling over during sharp turns or
quick starts and stops.
The net isn’t for larger, heavier loads. Store them
in the
trunk as far forward as you can.
You can unhook the net
so that it will lie flat when
you‘re not using
it.

this switch. The Park Avenue Ultra also has visor vanity
mirrors for the rear seat passengers.

To use it, open the trunk lid and slide your license plate
into the slot. Always close the trunk to prevent theft of
the plate.

The lines you see on the
rear window will warm the
glass. Press the button to
start warming your
window.
NOTICE:
Scraping the inside of your rear window could
cut and damage the heater. Your warranty would
not cover this damage. Don’t put decals there,
you might have to scrape them
off.
If your Buick has the Electronic Touch Climate Control
System, the following information tells you how
it
works.
After
10 minutes, it will go off by itself, or pressing the
button again during the heating cycle will shut
it off. If you
need additional warming time, push the button again.
If you have the heated outside rearview mirror option,
the mirror
will be warmed when the rear defogger is on.
