about the top strap
if the child restraint has one.
1. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat as far back as it will go

PASS-Key@II
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key%
(Personalized Automotive
Security System) theft
deterrent system.
PASS-Key% is a passive
theft deterrent system. This
means
you don’t have to do
anything different
to arm or
disarm the system.
It works when you insert or remove the key from
the
ignition. PASS-Key% uses a resistor pellet in the ignition
key that matches
a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key% system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter and
fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starter won’t work and fuel won’t go to the engine. If someone tries to
start your vehicle again or uses another key during this
time, the vehicle will
not start. This discourages someone
from randomly trying different keys with different resistor
pellets in
an attempt to make a match.
The ignition key must be clean and dry before it’s
inserted in the ignition or the engine may not start. If the
engine does not
start and the SECURITY light is on, the
key may be dirty or wet. Turn the ignition off. Clean and dry the
key. Wait about three minutes and try
again. The security light may remain on during this
time. If the starter still won’t work, and the key appears
to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes and try
another ignition key. At this time, you may also want
to
check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the
Index). If the starter won’t work with the other key, your
vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start,
the first
ignition key may be faulty. See your Buick dealer or a
locksmith who can service
the PASS-Key@II.
If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or
missing resistor pellet, the starter won’t work, and the
SECURITY light will flash. But
you don’t have to wait
three minutes before trying another ignition key.
See your Buick dealer or a locksmith who can service
the PASS-Key%
to have a new key made.
If you’re ever driving and the SECURITY light comes
on, you will be able to restart your engine if you turn it
off. Your PASS-Key% system, however, is not
working properly and must be serviced by
your Buick
dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the
PASS-Key@II system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key% ignition
key,
see your Buick dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key@II
to have a new key made.

edge and pull up.
The console has cupholders,
cassette tape storage and a

Luggage Carrier (Option)
If you have the optional luggage carrier, you can load
things on the deck lid
of your vehicle. The luggage
carrier has slats attached to the deck lid, a rear rail and
tiedowns.
NOTICE:
Loading cargo that weighs more than 50 pounds
(23 kg) on the luggage carrier may damage your
vehicle. When you carry large things, never let
them hang over the rear
or the sides of your
vehicle. Load your cargo
so that it rests on the
slats and does not scratch
or damage the vehicle.
Put the cargo against the rear rail and fasten it
securely to the luggage carrier.
Don’t exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your Buick. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see “Loading Your Vehicle”
in the
Index.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo, stop driving now
and then and make sure the luggage carrier and cargo
are still securely fastened.

' This light will come on
when you turn the
key to

flash.
If you're driving and the security light comes on and
remains on, your PASS-Key@II system is not working
