Just close your doors and turn on the ignition. All of
your doors will lock when you move your shift lever out
of “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral). 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 as long as the shift lever is out of
“P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral). All doors will unlock
automatically when the ignition
is turned off.
If you don’t want the doors to unlock automatically
when you
turn the ignition off, you can remove the fuse
marked Lock Control located in the component center.

2. Lift off the front cover, bottom half first.
3. Remove and replace the batteries. Put them in as the
direction under the batteries indicate.

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?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk
or glove box.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
0 Then take the door key with you.

Convenience Net
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You’ll see it
just behind 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.
Astroroof (Option)
To open the astroroof, press the switch located on the
roof. The ignition switch must be in the
“RUN” position
for the astroroof
t.o operate.
The sunshade can be opened by grasping the handle and
sliding it to the rear. It
will open automatically when the
astroroof is open completely. It must be closed
manually.
To open the astroroof to an angled venting position,
press and hold the forward portion of the switch until it
stops. To close it, press and hold the rear portion
of the
switch
until it stops.
To open the astroroof completely, press and hold the rear
portion of the switch. To close the
it, press and hold the
front portion of
the switch until it stops.
The astroroof cannot be operated manually if your car
has an electrical power failure.

Know how to go uphill. You may want to shift down
to a lower gear. The lower gears help cool your engine
and transaxle, and you can climb the hill better.
Stay
in your own lane when driving on two-lane
roads in hills or mountains. Don’t swing wide or cut
across the center of the road. Drive at speeds that let
you stay in your own lane.
As you go over the top of a hill, be alert. There could be
something in your lane, like a stalled car
or an accident.
You may see highway signs on mountains that warn
of special problems. Examples are long grades,
passing or no-passing zones, a falling rocks area, or
winding roads. Be alert
to these and take appropriate
action.
Winter Driving
Here are some tips for winter driving:
0 Have your Buick in good shape for winter. Be sure
your engine coolant mix is correct.
0 You may want to put winter emergency supplies in
your trunk.

The equipment you’ll need is in the trunk. If there
is a-wheel
cover, remove it by using the flat end
of the wheel wrench. Pry along the edge of the wheel
cover until
it comes off. Be careful, the rim edges may
be sharp. Don’t try
to remove it with your bare hands.

Lower the vehicle by rotating the jack handle
counterclockwise. Lower the jack completely.
Tighten the wheel nuts firmly
in a criss-cross sequence
as shown. Don’t
try to put a wheel
cover on your compact spare
tire. It won’t
fit. Store the wheel cover in the trunk until
you have the flat tire repaired or replaced.
