How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about
safety belts and children.
And there are different rules
for smaller children and babies.
If a child will be riding
in your Buick, see the part of this manual called
“Children.” Follow those rules for everyone’s
protection.
First,
you’ll want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear it
properly.
I. Close. and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit up straight. 3.
Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let
it get twisted.
The shoulder belt may lock
if you pull the belt across
you
very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back
slightly to unlock
it. Then pull the belt across you
more slowly.

You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
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
before securing
a forward-facing child restraint. (See
“Seats”
in the Index.)
2. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
3. Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
4. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of
the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show
you how.
If the shoulder belt goes
in front of the child’s face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.
5. Buckle the belt.
Make sure the release button
is positioned so you
would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if
you ever had to.

NOTICE:
After you’ve used the coolant heater, be sure to
store the cord as it was before to keep it away
from moving engine parts. If you don’t, it could
be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged
in? The answer depends on the weather, the kind of oil
you have, and some other things. Instead of trying to list
everything here, we ask that you contact your Buick
dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle.
The dealer can give you the best advice for that
particular area.
Automatic Transaxle
Your automatic transaxle may have a shift lever on the
steering column or on the console between the seats.
Maximum engine speed is limited on automatic
transaxle vehicles when you’re in
PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N) to protect driveline components
from improper operation.
There are several different positions for your shift lever.
PARK (P): This locks your front wheels. It’s the best
position to use when you start your engine because your vehicle can’t move easily.

Flow-Through Ventilation System
Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the air conditioning
fan is running.
Ventilation Tips
e
e
e
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction, such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducing the chance of
fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
mode
to HTR and the fan to the highest speed for a
few moments before driving off. This helps clear the
intake ducts of snow and moisture and reduces the
chance of fogging the inside
of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your
vehicle.
Audio Systems
Your Delco@ audio system has been designed to operate
easily and give years
of listening pleasure. You will get
the most enjoyment out of it
if you ac uaint yourself
with it first. Find out what your Delco system can do
and how
to operate all its controls, to be sure you’re
getting the most out of the advanced engineering that
went into it.
