1994 BUICK PARK AVENUE remote start

Illuminated Entry System (Option)
With this option, when you
push the door handle
button,
a light around the
door lock will come on for
about
25 seconds.
You’ll be able to see where to put the door key when it’s
dark, and the lights inside your Buick will go on.
They’ll
go off when you start your engine, or when 25
seconds have passed. If you have the Remote Keyless
Entry System option, it can make the illuminated entry
system work too. (See Remote Keyless Entry System in
the Index.)
If
you have this option, your interior lights will
automatically shut off after a
10 minute period if a door
is left ajar. This feature
is designed to help eliminate
battery wear down.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Buick 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 chime 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.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables
out of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.

Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to lock it up and take your keys.
But what
if you have to leave your ignition key? What if
you have to leave something valuable
in your vehicle?
1. Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk
or glove box.
2. Lock the glove box.
3. Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
4. Then t&e the door key with you.
Universal Theft Deterrent (Option)
If your Buick has this option, it has a theft deterrent
alarm system. With this system, the “SECURITY” light
will flash as you open the door (if your ignition is
off).
This light reminds you to activate the theft deterrent
system. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
Remote Keyless Entry System. The “SECURITY”
light should come on and stay on.
3. 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.
Kemember, the theft deterrent system won’t activate
if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
activates 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 if the alarm has been set
off. You
must still shut
off the alarm by inserting the key in the
door lock.
Here’s how to avoid setting
off the alarm by accident:
1. If you don’t want to activate the theft deterrent
system, the vehicle should be locked
after the doors
are closed.
2. Always unlock a door with a key, or use the Remote
Keyless Entry System. Unlocking a
door any other
way will set
off the alarm.
