3. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle
end
of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder part. The lap
part
of the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies
force
to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be less
likely
to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the
belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could
cause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These
parts
of the body are best able to take belt restraining
forces.
The safety belt locks
if there’s a sudden stop or a crash.

When a new Regal is delivered, the dealer removes the
plugs from
the door keys, and gives them to the first
owner. Each plug has a code on
it that tells your dealer
or a qualified locksmith how
to make extra door keys.
Keep the plugs
in a safe place. If you lose your door
keys, you’ll be able
to have new ones made easily using
these plugs.
The ignition keys don’t have plugs. If you need
a new
ignition key, contact your Buick dealer who can obtain
the correct
key code, or in an emergency, contact Buick
Roadside Assistance at 1-800-252-
1 1 12.
NOTICE:
Your Buick has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. But you can have a lot
of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your keys inside. You may even have to damage
your vehicle to get in. So be sure you have extra
keys.
