1995 BUICK REGAL lock

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.

1. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.

slightly

more slowly.

Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
When the shoulder belt
is pulled out all the way, it

If the belt is not long enough, see “Safety Belt
Extender” at the end
of this section.
Make sure the release button
on the buckle is
positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if
you ever had to.

Door Locks
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle. From the
outside,
use your door key or Remote Lock
Control, if your vehicle has this option.
On two-door models, the door lock will light up for
about
15 seconds if you pull the door handle. The light
can help you find where to put your key when it’s dark
outside.

Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the ignition. All of the
doors will lock when you move your shift lever out of
PARK
(P) or NEUTRAL (N). All doors will unlock
automatically when the ignition is turned off.

the lever down to lock the door.
To unlock, push the lever up.
rower Door Locks
Press the power door lock switch to lock or unlock all
doors.
On four-door models,
the rear doors do not have power
door lock switches. The lever on each rear door works
only that door’s lock. It won’t lock or unlock all the
doors. 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 PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) and
the ignition is
on. Note that the door must be opened, then
closed, or the door will not automatically relock.
If you don’t want the doors to unlock automatically
when
you turn the ignition off, you can remove the Lock
Control
fuse in the instrument panel fuse block. See
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then get out and
