This safety belt is called “automatic” because you don’t
have to buckle up when you get into your vehicle. And you
don’t have to unbuckle when
you get out.
Just get into your vehicle. Then close and lock the door.
Adjust
the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index) so
you can sit up straight.

The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden stop or a crash.\

It’s possible that an automatic belt could keep you from
fully opening a door. That can happen if the door was
slammed shut very hard. Just close the door all the way,
then slowly open it. If that doesn’t
fix it, then your
Buick needs service.
We hope you’ll always keep your automatic belt
buckled. However, you may need to unbuckle it in an
emergency.
And you would need to unbuckle it to let
someone get into the center front seat position, if ,your
vehicle has one.
r
The lap belt should be worn as low on the hips as
possible. 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.

To unbuckle the automatic belt, just push the button on
the buckle.
To reattach the automatic belt:
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see "Seats" in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don't let it get twisted.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure
it is secure.

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.
