1995 BUICK REGAL key battery

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

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).

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.

NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your Buick is
moving.
If you do, you could damage the
transaxle. Shift to
PARK (P) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
To start your 3.1 Liter engine:
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your
ignition key to START. When
the engine starts, let
go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your
engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in START for longer man
15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to be
drained much sooner. And the excessive heat can
damage your starter motor.
2. If your engine won’t start (or starts but then stops),
it could be flooded with too much gasoline. Try
pushing your accelerator pedal all the way
to the
floor and holding it there as you hold the key in
START for about three seconds. If the vehicle starts
briefly but t.hen stops again, do the same thing, but
this time keep the pedal down for
five or six seconds.
This clears the extra gasoline
from the engine.
~
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with the
electronics in
your vehicle. If you add electrical
parts
or accessories, you could change the way
the fuel injection system operates. Before adding
electrical equipment, check with your dealer.
If
you don’t, your engine might not perform
properly.
If you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see
the part
of this manual that tells how to do it
without damaging your vehicle. See “Towing
Your Vehicle” in the Index.

Interior Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps come on. These
lamps
are courtesy lamps. They make it easy for you to enter
and leave your
vehcle. You can also turn these lamps on by
moving the PANEL LAMPS dial all the way up past
HI.
Some of the lamps have switches so you can turn them
on, even when the doors are closed. These lamps are
reading lamps.
To avoid draining your battery, be sure to
turn
off all reading lamps when leaving your vehicle.
Illuminated Entry
Battery Saver
Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from draining
the battery, in case you accidentally leave the courtesy lamps
on. If you leave the PANEL LAMPS dial turned all the
way up past
HI, or if you leave a door open, the lamps will
automatically
turn off after 10 minutes if the ignition is off.
This feature will not turn off the reading lamps, only the
lamps controlled by
the PANEL LAMPS dial. Be sure to
turn off any reading lamps using the switch before you
leave the vehicle. Your
courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for
a set
time whenever you:
Pull a front door handle.
0 Press UNLOCK on the Remote Lock Control
(if equipped).
0 Press DOOR on the Remote Lock Control
(if equipped).
If you open
a door, the lamps will stay on while it’s open
and then turn off automatically about 18 seconds after
you close it. If you don’t open a door,
the lamps will
turn off after about 18 seconds, unless you pressed
UNLOCK
on the Remote Lock Control. If you pressed
UNLOCK and don’t open
a door, the lamps will turn off
after about 55 seconds.
Illuminated entry includes a feature called theater
dimming. With theater dimming,
the lamps don’t just
turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead, they slowly
dim during the delay time
until they go out. The delay
time
is cancelled if you turn the ignition key to RUN or
START,
so the lamps will go out right away.
When the ignition is on, Illuminated Entry is inactive,
which means the courtesy lamps won’t come on.
