Universal Theft-Deterrent
(If
Equipped)
SECURITY
If your Buick has this
option, it has a
theft-deterrent alarm
system. With this system,
the SECURITY light will
flash as you open the door
(if your ignition
is
off).
This light reminds you to activate the theft-deterrent
system when leaving your vehicle.
Activating the system:
1.
Open the door.
2.
Lock the door with the power door lock switch while
the door is open,
or
with the Remote Keyless Entry
transmitter. The SECURITY light should turn
on
and
stay on.
3.
Close all doors. The SECURITY light should
go
off
after about
30
seconds. The alarm
is
not armed until
the
SECURITY light goes off.
If
a door or
the
trunk is opened without the key or Remote
Keyless Entry transmitter, the alarm will go
off.
It
will also
go
off
if the trunk lock is damaged. Your vehicle’s lamps
will flash and the horn will sound
for
three
minutes, and
then will
go
off
in
order to save battery power.
Remember, the theft-deten-ent system won’t activate if you
lock the doors with a key or manual door lock.
It
activates
only if you use
a
power door lock switch with a door
open, or the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.
You
should
also remember that you can start your vehicle with the
correct ignition key if the alarm has been set
off.
You must
still shut
off
the alarm by inserting the key
in
the door
lock, or by pressing the
UNLOCK
button on the Remote
Keyless Entry transmitter.
Here’s how
to
avoid setting off
the
alarm
by
accident:
If
you don’t want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, lock the door by using the door key or the
manual door lock switch.
0
Always unlock a door with
a
key, or use the Remote
Keyless Entry System transmitter. Unlocking
a
door
any other way will set off the alarm.
If
you set
off
the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with your key.
You
can also
turn
off the alarm by using the Remote
Keyless Entry transmitter,
if
you
have
it.
The alarm
won’t stop
if
you
try
to unlock a door any other way.
