1995 BUICK REGAL battery replacement

Remote Lock Control (Option)
If your Buick has this option, you can lock and unlock your
doors or unlock your trunk from
up to 30 feet (9 m) away
using the key chain transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
Your Remote Lock Control operates
on a radio
frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules.
This device complies
with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
(1 ) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Should interference to this system occur,
try this:
Check to determine if battery replacement is necessary.
See the instructions on battery replacement.
0 Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. This product has a maximum range.
0 Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.
0 See your Buick dealer or a qualified technician for service.
Changes
or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
Operation
Press UNLOCK once to unlock the driver’s door. Press
UNLOCK again within five seconds to unlock all the
doors. The interior lamps
will come on (see “Illuminated
Entry”
in the Index for more details).
To lock all doors, press DOOR. To unlock the trunk,
press the trunk symbol on the transmitter. The
trunk will
only unlock if your transaxle is in PARK (P) and your
ignition is
in LOCK, OFF or ACC.

Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter
is lost or stolen,
a replacement can be purchased through
your dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you
go to your dealer. When
the dealer matches the replacement transmitter
to your
vehicle, the remaining transmitters must also be
matched. Once the new transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different
vehicles
as you own, provided they are equipped with
exactly the same model system. (General Motors offers
several different models of these systems on their
vehicles.) Each vehicle can have only two transmitters
matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain
transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter
won’t work at the normal range
in any location. If you
have to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it’s probably time to change the batteries. To
replace your batteries:
1. Insert a flat object like a dime into the slot on the back
of the transmitter. Gently pry apart the front and back.
2. Gently pry the batteries out of the transmitter.
3. Put the new batteries into the transmitter as shown
on
the transmitter. Use Duracell@ batteries, type
DL201 6, or equivalent.
4. Put the two halves back together. Make sure the
halves are together tightly so water won’t get in.
5. Test the transmitter.

Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex.
Its many parts have to be of top quality and work well
together
if the vehicle is to have really good braking.
Vehicles we design and test have top-quality
GM brake
parts
in them, as your Buick does when it is new. When
you replace parts of your braking system -- for example,
when your brake linings wear down and you have to
have new ones put
in -- be sure you get new genuine
GM replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may
no longer work properly. For example,
if someone puts
in brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle, the
balance between your front and rear brakes can
change
-- for the worse. The braking performance
you’ve come to expect can change in many other ways
if someone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts.
Battery
Every new Buick has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You
never have to add water to one of these. When it’s time
for
a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom@
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or
more, take off the black, negative
(-) cable from the
battery. This
will help keep your battery from running
down.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
