6 NOTES vi.
Section 1 Seats and Restraint Systems Here you’ll find information about the seats in your Buick and how to use your safety belts properly. You can also learn about some things you should not do with air bags and safety belts.
Seats and Seat Controls This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust them, and also about memory seats, reclining seatbacks and head restraints. Power Seats The power seat controls are located on the side of the driver’s and passenger’s seats.
, Memory Seat and Mirrors (Option) To set your memory seat and mirrors: 1. Adjust the driver’s seat cushion to your desired position. Adjust both outside mirrors to suit you. See “Mirrors” in the Index. When your vehicle is in PARK (P) with the ignition on or off, press the sane side of the MEMORY smitch to recall the seat and mirror-setting.
Memory Seat and Mirrors Personal Choice Feature (Option) The transmitters can also be programmed to move the driver’s seat and outside rnirrors to a set memory position when the transmitter’s UNLOCK button is pressed. To program the system: 1. 2. 3.
Heated Front Seat (Option) Reclining Front Seatbacks If your vehicle has this option, the switch is on the armrest. With the ignition in ACCESSORY or RUN, press the button once and the seat will warm up. The HI light on the button will come on. Press the button a second time and the LO light will come on.
But don’t have a seatback reclined is moving. if your vehicle Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job when you’re reclined like this. The shoulder belt can’t do its job.
Head Restraints Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash. If the seatback isn’t locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash.
.
Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to buckle up. (See “Safety Belt Reminder Light’’ in the Index.) In most states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here’s why: They work. You never know if you’ll be in a crash.
Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider doesn’t stop. 1-10 I.
The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield ... or the instrument panel ....
or the safety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces.
@ If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an home, why should I wear safety belts? accident -- even one that isn’t your fault -- you and your passengers can be hurt. Being a good driver doesn’t protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Don’t let it get twisted. 4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section.
J 3. Just before it-reaches the end, give it a quick pull. 4. Let the belt go back all the way. You should hear a slight clicking sound. If you don't, the adjustment ,.
If you move around in the vehicle enough, pull out the shoulder belt, or open your door, the belt will become tight again. If this happens, you can reset it. @ What’s wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It won’t give nearly as much protection this way.
A: The belt is buckled in the wrong place..
e." What's wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. U You can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury.
@ What’s wrong with this? You can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you wouldn’t have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly, or ask -- your dealer to fix it.
To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle. The belt should go back out of the w Before you c1,as.e the door, be sure the way. If you slam the door on it, you can damage both the.
The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye. If you’re too close to an inflating air bag, it could seriously injure you. Safety belts help keep you in position before and during a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with air bags.
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows AIR BAG. How the Air Bag System Works The system checks the air bag electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. See “Air Bag Readiness Light” in the Index for more information.
The right -front passenger’s air bap is in the instrument panel on the passenger’s side. ;&$x I.

When an air bag inflates, there is dust in the air. This dust could cause breathing problems for people with a history of asthma or other breathing trouble.
If your vehicle ever gets into a lot of water -- such as water up to the carpeting or higher -- or if water enters your vehicle and soaks the carpet, the air bag controller can be soaked and ruined. If this ever happens, and then you start your vehicle, the damage could make the air bags inflate, even if there’s no crash.
Lap Belt If your vehicle has a front split seat and a rear seat, someone can sit in the center positions. bench When you sit in a center seating position, you have a lap safety belt, which has no retractor. To make the belt longer, tilt the latch plate and pull it along the belt.
U 1. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt wross YOU. 2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Don't let it get twisted. I ! I 1-29 I.
If the belt stops before it reaches the buckle, tilt the latch plate and keep pulling until you can buckle it. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt is not long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section.
I n n You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury. The shoulder belt should fit against your body. The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs.

Children Smaller Children and Babies Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes infants and all children smaller than adult size. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.
Smaller children and babies should always be restrained in a child or infant restraint. The instructions for the restraint will say whether it is the right type and size for your child. A very young child’s hip bones are so small that a regular belt might not stay low on the hips, as it should.
1.
.
A rear-facing infant restraint (B) positions an infant to face the rear of the vehicle. Rear-facing infant restraints are designed for infants of up to about 20 lbs. (9 kg) and about one year of age. This type of restraint faces the rear so that the infant’s head, neck and body can have the support they need in a crash.
.
.
A booster seat (F, G) is designed for children who are about 40 to 60 lbs. (1 8 to 27 kg) and about four to eight years of age. It’s designed to improve the fit of the vehicle’s safety belt system. Booster seats with shields use lap-only belts; however, booster seats without shields use lap-shoulder belts.
When choosing a child restraint, be sure the child restraint is designed to be used in a vehicle. If it is, it will have a label saying that it meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Then follow the instructions for the restraint. You may find these instructions on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both.
r A child in a child restraint in the center front seat can be badly injured by the right front passenger air bag if it inflates. Never secure a child restraint in the center front seat. It's always better to secure a child restraint in the rear seat.
Securing a Child Restrgint in a Re,ar Outside ,Seat Position 1. Pat the restraint on the seat. 3. Tilt the latch plate to adjust the belt if needed. If the shoul.&r belt goes in front d the child’s face or neck, put it behind the child restraint.
.
Securing a Child Restraint in the Center Rear Seat Position You’ll be using the lap belt. Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the child restraint.
.
6. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure. To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s safety belt. It will be ready to work for an adult or larger child passenger. Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag.
3. Pick up the latch plzate, and-fun the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or around the-restraiat. The child restm.int instructions will show YOU how.
.
Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the vehicle’s safety .belts..
Never do this. Here two children are wearing the same belt. The belt can’t properly spread the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can be crushed together and seriously injured.
.
Safety Belt Extender If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it. But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you an extender. It’s free. When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the extender will be long enough for you.
Replacing Restraint System Parts After a Crash If you’ve had a crash, do you ---bed new belts? After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary. But if the belts were stretched, as they would be if worn during a more severe crash, then you need new belts.

Section 4 Your Driving and the Road Here you’ll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and in varying weather conditions. We’ve also included many other useful tips on driving.
Defensive Driving The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively. Please start with a very important safety device in your Buick: Buckle up. (See “Safety Belts” in the Index.) Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.
0 The length of time it has taken the drinker to consume the alcohol. According to the American Medical Association, a 180-lb. (82 kg) person who drinks three 12-ounce (355 ml) bottles of beer in an hour will end up with a BAC of about 0.

Braking Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. First, you have to decide to push on the brake pedal. That’s perception time. Then you have to bring up your foot and do it. That’s reaction time. Average reaction time is about 314 of a second.
Anti-Lock Brakes Your vehicle has anti-lock brakes (ABS). ABS is an advanced electronic braking system that will help prevent a braking skid. When you start your engine and begin to drive away, your anti-lock brake system will check itself.
The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster than any driver could. The computer is programmed to make the most of available tire and road conditions. Remember: Anti-lock doesn't change the time you need to. get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease stopping distance.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may reengage the cruise control. (See “Cruise Control” in the Index.
1 4-10.
Steering in Emergencies There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For example, you come over a hill and find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked cars and stops right in front of you.
Off-Road Recovery You may find that your right wheels have dropped off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving. OFF-ROAD RECOVE edge of paved surfwe If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy.
e Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and start your left lane change signal before moving out of the right lane to pass. When you are far enough ahead of the passed vehicle to see its front in your inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back into the right lane.
R Loss of Control Let’s review what driving experts say about what happens when the three control systems (brakes, steering and acceleration) don’t have enough friction where the tires meet the road to do what the driver has asked. In any emergency, don’t give up.
Driving at Night A .... Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One reason is that some drivers are likely to be impaired -- by alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue. Here are some tips on night driving. Drive defensively.
You can be temporarily blinded by approaching headlamps. It can take a second or two, or even several seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who doesn't lower the high beams, or a vehicle with misaimed headlamps), slow down a little.
........... ~ ---I Driving too fast through large water puddles or even going through some car washes can cause problems, too. The water may affect your brakes.
Wet brakes can cause accidents. They won’t work as well in a quick stop and may cause pulling to one side. You could lose control of the vehicle. After driving through a large puddle of water or a car wash, apply your brake pedal lightly until your brakes work normally.
Citv Driving Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get a city map and plan your trip into an unknown part of the city just as you would for a cross-country trip. Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities.
Freeway Driving At the entrance, there is usually a ramp that leads to the freeway. If you have a clear view of the freeway as you drive along the entrance ramp, you should begin to check traffic. Try to determine where you expect to blend with the flow.
The exit speed is usually posted. Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not to your sense of motion. After driving for any distance at higher speeds, you may tend to think you are going slower than you actually are. Before Leaving on a Long Trip Make sure you’re ready.
Then here are some tips: e Hill and Mountain Roads Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a comfortably cool interior. Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to the sides.
If you drive regularly in steep country, or if you’re planning to visit there, here are some tips that can make your trips safer and more enjoyable. 0 Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all fluid levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling system and transaxle.
Winter Driving Here are some tips for winter driving: Have your vehicle in good shape for winter. You may want to put winter emergency supplies in your trunk.
Driving on Snow or Ice Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the road probably have good traction. However, if there is snow or ice between your tires and the road, you can have a very slippery situation. You’ll have a lot less traction or “grip” and will need to be very careful.
Your anti-lock brakes improve your vehicle’s stability when you make a hard stop on a slippery road. Even though you have the anti-lock braking system, you’ll want to begin stopping sooner than you would on dry pavement. See “Anti-Lock” in the Index.
If you are stopped by heavy snow, you could be in a serious situation. You should probably stay with your vehicle unless you know for sure that you are near help and you can hike through the snow. Here are some things to do to sumon help and keep yourself and your passengers safe: Turn on your hazard flashers.
Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle. This can cause deadly CO (carbon monoxide) gas to get inside. CO could overcome you and kill you. You can’t see it or smell it, so you might not know it is in your vehicle. Clear away snow from around the base of your vehicle, especially any that is blocking your exhaust pipe.

Electronic Level Control This feature keeps the rear of your vehicle level as the load changes. It’s automatic -- you don’t need to adjust anything. If you don’l $e the correct equi- lent and drive properly, you can lose control when you pull a trailer.
If You Do Decide To Pull A Trailer If you do, here are some important points: 0 0 0 0 0 There are many different laws, including speed limit restrictions, having to do with trailering. Make sure your rig will be legal, not only where you live but also where you'll be driving.
Weight of the Trailer ’ lneue The tongue load (A) of any trailer 1s an important weight to measure because it affects the total capacity weight of your vehicle. The capacity weight includes the curb weight of the vehicle, any cargo you may carry in it, and the people who will be riding in the vehicle.
Hitches It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks going by and rough roads are a few reasons why you’ll need the right hitch. Here are some rules to follow: 0 e The rear bumper on your vehicle is not intended for hitches.
Following Distance Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when driving your vehicle without a trailer. This can help you avoid situations that require heavy braking and sudden turns. Passing You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows on your instrument panel will flash for turns even if the bulbs on the trailer are burned out. Thus, you may think drivers behind you are seeing your signal when they are not. It’s important to check occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs are still working.
When You Are Ready to Leave After Parking on a Hill 1. Apply your regular brakes and hold the pedal down while you: 0 Start your engine; 0 Shift into a gear; and 0 Release the parking brake. 2. Let up on the brake pedal. 3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks.

Section 5 Problems on the Road Here you’ll find what to do about some problems that can occm on the road. 5-2 5-3 5-3 5-8 5-13 Hazard Warning Flashers Other Warning Devices Jump Starting Towing Your.
Hazard Warning Flashers Your hazard warning flashers let you warn others. They also let police know you have a problem. Your front and rear turn signal lamps will flash on and off. A Press down on the button located on top of the steering column to make your front and rear turn signal lamps flash on and off.
Other Warning Devices If you carry reflective triangles, you can set one up at the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind your vehicle. Jump Starting If your battery has run down, you may want to use another vehicle and some jumper cables to start your vehicle.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’ttouching each other. If they are, it could cause a ground connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to start your vehicle, and the bad grounding could damage the electrical systems.
A CAUTION: Using a match near a battery can cause battery gas to explode. People have been hurt doing this, and some have been blinded. Use a flashlight if you need more light. Be sure the battery has enough water. You don’t need to add water to the Delco Freedom@ battery installed in every new GM vehicle.
6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the remote positive (+) terminal of the vehicle with the dead battery. 7. Don’t let the other end touch metal. Connect it to the positive (+) terminal of the good battery. Use a remote Now connect the black negative (-) cable to the good battery’s negative (-) terminal.
Don’t let the other end touch anyhng until the next step. The other end of the negative cable doesn’t go to the dead battery. It goes to a heavy unpainted metal part on the engine of the vehicle with the dead battery. 8. Attach the cable at least 18 inches (45 cm) away from the dead battery, but not near engine parts that move.
Towing Your Vehicle Try to have your dealer or a professional towing service tow your vehicle. See “Roadside Assistance” in the Index. If your vehicle has been changed or modified since it was fac.
CAUTION: A vehicle can fall from a car carrier if it isn’t adequately secured. This can cause a collision, serious personal injury and vehicle damage. The vehicle should be tightly secured with chains or steel cables before it is transported. Don’t use substitutes (ropes, leather straps, canvas webbing, etc.
Front Towing NOTICE: Do not tow with sling-type equipment or fascidfog lamp damage will occur. Use wheel-lift or car-carrier equipment. Additional ramping may be required for car-carrier equipment. Use safety chains and wheel straps. Towing a vehicle over rough surfaces could damage a vehicle.
These slots are to be used when loading and securing to car-c~arrier equipment. Attach T-hook chains on both sides, in the slotted holes in the bottom of the body rail, behind the front wheels and engine frame. Attach a separate safety chain around the outboard end of each lower control arm.
Rear Towing Tow Limits -- 55 mph (88 km/h), 500 miles (800 km) Attach T-hook chains to the T-hook slots in the bottom of the floor pan just ahead of the rear wheels on Position the lower-sling crossbar directly under the fascia.
Attach a separate safety chain around the outboard end of eachlower control arm. E,ngine Overheating You will fkd a coulmt temperature gage and the.waming light about a hot engine an your .instrument panel. Steam fram an overheated engine can bnrn-you badly, even if you just open the hood.
.
If there’s still no sign of steam, you can idle the engine for two or three minutes while you’re parked, to see if the warning stops. But then, if you still have the warning, turn off the engine and get everyone out of the vehicle until it cools down.
The coolant level should be at or above FULL COLD. If it isn’t, you may have a leak in the radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator, water pump or somewhere else in the cooling system. Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine parts, can be very hot.
Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water, or some other liquid like alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant ‘mixture will.
If the overheat warning continues, there’s one more thing you can try You can add the proper coolant mixture directly to the radiator but be sure the cooling system is cool before you do it. Steam and scalding liquids from a hot cooling system can blow out and burn you badly.
How to Add Coolant to the Radiator 1. You can remove the radiator pressure cap when the cooling system, including the radiator pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly counterclockwise until it first stops. (Don’t press down while turning the pressure cap.
4. Then fill the coolsuit recovery tank to FULL COLD. - 5. Put the cap back on the coolant, recovery tank, but leave the radiator pressure cap off 6. 7.
If a Tire Goes Flat 8. Then replace the pressure cap. At any time during this procedure if coolant begins to flow out of the filler neck, reinstall the pressure cap. Be sure the arrows on the pressure cap line up like this. It’s unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you’re driving, especially if you maintain your tires properly.
Changing a Flat Tire If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on your hazard warning flashers. Changing a tire can cause an injury. The vehicle can slip off the jack and roll over you or other people.
Removing the Spare Tire and Tools 2. Remove the wheel wrench and jack from the jack container. Turn the spare tire retainer bolt to the left and remove the retainer assembly. 3. Remove the spare tire from the trunk. The equipment you’ll need is in the trunk.
Your vehicle has a wheel cover which must be taken off to reach the wheel nuts. Insert the flat end of the wrench into the notch in the center cover. Pry carefully, so the center cover is not scratched. Removing the Flat Tire and Installing'the Spare Tire 1.
Y 3. Rotate the wheel wrench to the left to lower the jack lift head until it fits under the vehicle. 4. Near each wheel well is a notch in the frame to position the jack head. You’ll find the word JACK and an arrow stamped into the plastic near each notch.
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is dangerous. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you could be badly injured or killed. Never get under a vehicle when it is supported only by a jack. 1 Raising your vehicle with t,,, jack improperly positioned can damage the vehicle and even make the vehicle fall.
7. Remove any rust or dirt from the wheel bolts, mounting surfaces and spare wheel. Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts to which it is fastened, can make the wheel nuts become loose after a time.
9. Replace the wheel nuts with the rounded end of the nuts toward the wheel. Tighten each nut by hand until the wheel is held against the hub. If a nut cannot be tightened by hand, use the wrench and see your dealer right away. 10. Lower the vehicle by rotating the wheel wrench to the left.
11. Using the wheel wrench, tighten the wheel nuts firmly in a crisscross sequence as shown. Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel nuts can cause the wheel to become loose and even come off.
Storing the Flat Tire and Tools I A CAUTION: Storing a jack, a tire or other equipment in the passenger compartment of the vehicle could cause injury. In a sudden stop or collision, loose equipment could strike someone. Store all these in the proper place.
The compact spare is for temporary use only. Replace the compact spare tire with a full size tire as soon as you can. See “Compact Spare Tire” in the Index. See the storage instructions label to replace your compact spare into your trunk properly.
Don’t use your compact spare on other vehicles. And don’t mix your compact spare tire or wheel with other wheels or tires. They won’t fit. Keep your spare tire and its wheel together. NOTICE: Tire chains won’t fit your compact spare. Using them can damage your vehicle and can damage the chains too.
I NOTICE: Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your vehicle as well as the tires. If you spin the wheels too fast while shifting your transaxle back and forth, you can destroy your transaxle. For information about using tire chains on your vehicle, see “Tire Chains” in the Index.

0 Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and other fasteners. “English” and “metric” fasteners can be easily confused. If you use the wrong fasteners, parts can later t[ ak or fall off. You could be hurt. Adding Equipment to the Outside of Your Vehicle Things you might add to the outside of your vehicle can affect the airflow around it.
Some gasolines that are not reformulated for low emissions contain an octane-enhancing additive called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT); ask your service station operator whether or not his fuel contains MMT. General Motors does not recommend the use of such gasolines.
Filling Your Tank I I The cap is behind a hinged door on the left side of your vehicle. Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns violently, and that can cause very bad injuries. Don’t smoke if you’re near gasoline or refueling your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from gasoline.
The fuel door can also be opened by using the release in the trunk compartment, on the driver’s side of the vehicle. To remove the cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise). The cap has a spring in it; if you let go of the cap too soon, it will spring back to the right.
If you get gasoline on yourself and then something ignites it, you could be badly burned. Gasoline can spray out on you if you open the fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen if your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and wait for any “hiss” noise to stop.
Filliry a Portable Fuel Container Checking Things Under the Hood I Never fill a portable fuel container while it is in your vehicle. Static electricity discharge from the container can ignite the gasoline vapor, You can be badly burned and your vehicle damaged if this occurs.
Hood Release Pull the handle inside the vehicle to open the hood. The handle is located on the lower left side of the instrument panel, next to Then go to the front of the vehicle and locate the secondary hood release. It is under the front edge of the grille, slightly right of center as you face the vehicle.

Your vehicle has a 3800 Supercharged engine. Supercharging, rather than turbocharging, was chosen because it emphasizes smooth, refined power. The supercharger is a device which is designed to pump more air into the engine than it would normally use. This air, mixed with fuel, creates increased engine power.
C: cking Engine Oil Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down, and check the level. When to Add Engine Oil If the oil is at or below the ADD mark, then you’ll need to add at least one quart of oil.
What Kind of Engine Oil to Use Oils recommended for your vehicle can be identified by looking for the "Starburst" symbol. This symbol indicates that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Do not use any oil which does not carry this Starburst symbol.
As shown in the chart, SAE IOW-30 is best for your vehicle. However, you can use SAE 5W-30 if it’s going to be colder than 60°F (16” C) before your next oil change. When it’s very cold, you should use SAE 5W-30. These numbers on an oil container show its viscosity, or thickness.
If none of them is true, use the long triphighway maintenance schedule. Change the oil and filter every 7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12 months -- whichever occurs first. Driving a vehicle with a fully warmed engine under highway conditions causes engine oil to break down slower.
Remove the air cleaner assembly as follows: 1. Remove the air duct clamp and separate the hose from the air cleaner cover. Rotate the hose on the throttle body upward so it is out of the way. 2. Detach the electrical connector and remove the air cleaner cover by flipping the two latches on the bottom inboard side of the cover.
Supercharger Oil Unless you are technically qualified and have the proper tools, you should let your dealer or a qualified service center perform this maintenance. When to Check Check oil level every 30,000 miles (50 000 ktn) or every 36 months, whichever occurs first.
Automatic Transaxle Fluid When tc eck and Change A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid level is when the engine oil is changed. Change both the fluid and filter every 50,000 miles (83 00.
Checking the Fluid Level Park your vehicle on a level place. Keep ;he engine running. The transale fluid dipstick is a round, red loop losated next to the bmke master cylinder. Pull 'out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel. 3.
How to Add TI- 13 Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transaxle fluid to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index. If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper fluid to bring the level into the cross-hatched area on the dipstick.
I NOTICE: When adding coolant, it is important that you use only DEX-COOL@ (silicate-free) coolant. I€ coolant other than DEX-COOL is added to the system, premature engine, heater core or radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the engine coolant will require change sooner -- at 30,000 miles (50 000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first.
NOTICE: If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly damaged. The repair cost wouldn't be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
I If this light comes on, it LOW COOLANT means you’re low on engine coolant. LEVEL Adding Coolant If you need more coolant, add the proper DEX-COOL@ coolant mixture at the coolant recovery tank, but be careful not to spill it.
Thermostat Engine coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat in the engine coolant system. The thermostat stops the flow of coolant through the radiator until the coolant reaches a preset temperature. When you replace your thermostat, a GM thermostat is recommended.
Windshield Washer Fluid What to Use When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to read the manufacturer’s instructions before use. If you will be operating your vehicle in an area where the temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient protection against freezing.
1 Brakes Brake Fluid Your brake master cylinder reservoir is here. It is filled with DOT-3 brake fluid. There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in the reservoir might go down. The first is that the brake fluid goes down to an acceptable level during normal brake lining wear.
What to Add When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as Delco Supreme 11 @ (GM Part No. 12377967). Use new brake fluid from a sealed container only. Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area around the cap before removing it.
NOTICE: -~ Continuing to drive with worn-out brake-pads could result, m costly brake repair..
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. Your vehicle was designed and tested with top-quality GM brake parts.
To be sure the vent hose (A) is properly attached, the vent hase connectors (B) must be securely reattached to the vent outlets (C) on each side of the battery, and the vent assembly grommet (D) must be secured to the floor pan (E).
Bulb Replacement The following procedure tells you how to replace your headlamp bulbs. For any bulb changing procedure not listed in this section, contact your Buick dealer’s service department. Halogen Bulbs Exterior Front Bulbs Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and can burst if you drop or scratch the bulb.
Headlamps 6-32.
1. Loosen the two bolts on the inboard edge of the headlamp assembly. This allows you to pull out the assembly for more hand clearance when changing bulbs. 2. Reach into the assembly and turn the bulb socket one-quarter of a turn toward the center of the engine compartment, while pressing it firmly.
a a e e The vehicle should not have any snow, ice or mud attached to it. The vehicle should be fully assembled and all other work stopped while headlamp aiming is being done. There should not be any cargo or loading of the vehicle, except it should have a full tank of gas and one person or 160 lbs.
2. Now adjust the horizontal aim. Check the horizontal aim for each headlamp and adjust it as necessary. Turn the horizontal aiming screw until the pointer is lined up with the 0 (zero). 3. Visually re-check the vertical aim, to make sure it is still correct after the horizontal aim adjustment.
R To access them, do the following: 1. Remove the screws that secure the trunk trim over the taillamp area. 2. Remove the plastic wing nuts that hold the taillamp assembly in place.
3. Pull the taillamp assembly away from the vehicle carefully, to avoid scratching the paint. The taillamp has safety straps to help you hold the assembly while replacing the bulbs. TaillampdRear Thrn SignaVBack-Up Lamps The following instructions explain how to change each bulb.

Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement Replacement blades come in different types and are removed in different ways. Here’s how to remove the type with a release hole: 1. Pull the windshield wiper arm away from the windshield. 2. Insert a small screwdriver into the hole (A) and pull the blade assembly off the wiper arm (B).
0 0 0 Underinflated tires pose the same danger as overloaded tires. The resulting accident could cause serious injury. Check all tires frequently to maintain the recommended pressure.
When to Check Check your tires once a month or more. Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at 60 psi (420 kPa). How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire pressure. You can’t tell if your tires are properly inflated simply by looking at them.
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose after a time. The wheel could come off and cause an accident. When you change a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from places where the wheel attaches to the vehicle.
Buying New Tires To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at the Tire-Loading Information label. The tires installed on your vehicle when it was new had a Tire Perfomance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) number on each tire’s sidewall.
Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
Temperature -- A, B, C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
IN: Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be dangerous. It could affect the braking and handling of your vehicle, make your tires lose air and make you lose control. You could have a collision in which you or others could be injured.
Tire Chains NOTICE: Use tire chains only where legal and only when you must. Use only SAE Class “S” type chains that are the proper size for your tires. Install them on the front tires and tighten them as tightly as possible with the ends securely fastened.
Cleaning the Inside of Your Vehicle Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and loose dirt. Wipe vinyl or leather with a clean, damp cloth. Your dealer has two cleaners, Multi-Purpose Interior Cleaner and Capture Non-Solvent Dry Spot and Soil Remover.
Special Fabric Cleaning Problems Stains caused by such things as catsup, coffee (black), egg, fruit, fruit juice, milk, soft drinks, vomit, urine and blood can be removed as follows: 1. Carefully scrape off excess stain, then sponge the 2. If a stain remains, follow the multi-purpose interior soiled area with cool water.
CleaninL :he Top of the Instrument Panel Use only mild soap and water to clean the top surfaces of the instrument panel. Sprays containing silicones or waxes may cause annoying reflections in the windshield and even make it difficult to see through the windshield under certain conditions.
Cleaning the Outside of the Windshield and Wiper Blades If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the wiper blade chatters when running, wax, sap or other material may be on the blade or windshield.
Cleaning Exterior LampsLenses Use lukewarm or cold water, a soft cloth and a liquid hand, dish or car washing (mild detergent) soap to clean exterior lamps and lenses.
Cleaning Aluminum or Chrome Wheels Keep your wheels clean using a soft clean cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water. After rinsing thoroughly, dry with a soft clean towel. A wax may then be applied. The surface of these wheels is similar to the painted surface of your vehicle.
Finish Damage Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop into a major repair expense. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from your dealer or other service outlets.
