LOCK (B):
Before you put the key in, your ignition
will be
in
the LOCK position. This position locks your
ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It’s a theft
deterrent feature.
OFF
(C): This position lets you turn off the engine but
still turn the steering wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering
wheel like LOCK. Use
OFF
if you must have your car
in motion while the engine is off.
RUN (D):
This is the position for driving.
START
(E):
This key position starts your engine.
NOTICE:
If
your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t
turn it, be sure it is all the
way
in.
If
it is, then
turn the steering wheel left and right while you
turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using
a
tool to force it could break
the key or the ignition switch. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
Starting
Your
engine
Engines start differently. The 8th digit of your Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) shows the code letter or
number for your engine. You will find the VJN at the top
left of your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle
Identification Number” in the Index.) Follow the proper
steps to start the engine.
Move your shift lever to PARK
(P)
or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won’t start in any other position
--
that’s a
safety feature.
To
restart when you’re already moving,
use NEUTRAL (N) only.
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.
