Walter Marr and Thomas Buick Buick's chief engineer, WalterL. Marr (left), and Thomas D. Buick, son of founder David Dunbar Buick, drove the first Flint Buick in asuccessful Flint-Detroit round trip in July 1904. David Buick was building gasoline engines by 1899, and Marr,his engineer, apparently builtthe first auto to be called a Buick in1900. However, Buick traditionally dates its beginnings to 1903. That was the year the company was reorganized, refinanced and moved from Detroit to Flint.
In World War 11, Buick built aircraft engines, tanks and other military hardware.This post-war period brought great styling and engineeringchanges which resulted in increased sales. The torque converter automatic transmission, Dyndow, was introduced in the 1948 Roadmaster. Buick’s famous “portholes” c m e along in 1949. A high-compression V-8 engine was introduced in 1953. And Buick’s famous vertical pillar “toothy” grille, (introduced in 1942), bec~amemore massive in the post-war era.

Vehicle Symbols These are some of the symbols you may find on your vehicle.
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. Power Seat 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. 0 Raise or lower the front of the seat by holding the front part of the horizontal control up or down.
Raise or lower the entire seat by holding the whole control up or down. Memory Seat and Mirrors (Option) Move the seat forward or back by holding the control to the front or back. Power Lumbar (Option) If you have this option, the driver’s seatback lumbar support can be adjustedby moving the single switch located on the side of the seat. To increase or decrease support, hold the switchforward or rearward. To set your memory seat and mirrors: 1. Adjust the driver’s seat to your desired position.
When your Buick is in PARK (P) with the ignition ON or OFF, press the same side of the MEMORY switch to recall theseat and mirror setting. To do the same thing for a second driver, follow the preceding steps but press the other side of the MEMORY switch. Reclining Front Seatback(s) The power recline vertical control is located on the side of the seat. Push it forward to bring the seat to a more upright position. The EXIT button allows you to get out of the car easily.
But don’t have a seatback reclined ifyour vehicle is moving.
Heated Seat (Option) Front Seatback Latches If your vehicle has this option, the switch is on the driver’s armrest. 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. The seat will warm to a lower temperature. The frontseatback folds forward to let people get into the back seat. Your seatback will move back and forth freely, unless you come to a sudden stop. Then it will lock inplace.
Safety Belts: They’refor Everyone This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts. And it explains the Supplemental Restraint System, or “air bag” system. Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to buckle up. (See “Safety Belt Reminder Light” in the Index.) In many 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.
Why Safety BeltsWork When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes.
Get it up to speed.Then stop the vehicle. The rider doesn’t stop. The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, itcould 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. That’s why safety belts make such good sense.
-A,: Q: .
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly Driver Position Adults This part describes the driver’s restraint system. This part is only for people of adult size. Lap-Shoulder Belt 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. The driver has a lap-shoulder belt.
The safety belt locks if there's a sudden stop or crash.
Shoulder Belt Tightness Adjustment Your car has a shoulder belt tightness adjustment feature. If the shoulder belt seems too tight, adjust it before you begin to drive. 4. Let the belt go back all the way. You should hear a slight cliclung sound. If you don’t, the adjustment feature won’t set, and you’ll have to start again. 1. Sit wellback in the seat. 2. Start pulling the shoulder belt out. 5. Now you can add a small amount of slack. Lean forward slightly, then sit back.
&.
A-: The belt is buckled inthe wrong place.
Q: What's wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times.
A
To unlatch the belt,just push the buttonon the buckle. The belt should go back out of the way. Before you close the door, be sure the belt is out of the way. If you slam the door onit, you can damage both the belt and your vehicle.
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows AIR BAG. The system checks the air bag’s 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.
How the Air Bag System Works The right front passenger's air bag is in the instrument panel on the passenger's side. Where is the air bag? The driver's air bag is in themiddle of the steering wheel.
air bag is not designed to inflate inrollovers, side impacts, or rear impacts, because inflation would not help the occupant. It is possible that in a crash only one of the two air bags in your Riviera will deploy. This is rare, but can happen in a crash just severe enough to make an air baginflate. In any particular crash, no one can say whether an air bag should have inflated simply because of the damage to a vehicle or because of what the repair costs were.
How does an air bag restrain? In moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal collisions, even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel or the instrument panel. The air bag supplements the protection provided by safety belts. Air bags distribute the force of the impact more evenly over the occupant’s upper body, stopping the occupant more gradually.
Your vehcle is equipped with a diagnostic module, which records information about the air bag system. The module records information about the readiness of the system, when the sensors are activated and driver’s safety belt usage at deployment. Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag system. Improper service can mean that your air bag system won’t work properly. See your dealer for service. I NOTICE: Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Buick Air bags affect how your Buick should be serviced.
Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy Safety belts workfor everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if theydon’t wear safety belts. A -pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible throughout the pregnancy. The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother. When asafety belt is worn properly,it’s more likely that the fetus won’t behurt in a crash.
Right Front Passenger Position Lap Belt The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same way as the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position,” earlier in this section. If your vehicle has a front split seat and a rear bench seat, someone can sit in the center positions. When the lap portion of the belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock. If it does, let itgo back all the way and start again.
i Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap part of a lap-shoulder belt. If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section. Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to. 1-26 Lap-Shoulder Belt The positions next to the windows have lap-shoulder belts. Here’s howto wear one properly.
1. Pick up the latchplate and pull the belt across you. Don’t let itget twisted. 2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until itclicks. 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.
3. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder part. 1-28 The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones. And you'd be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest.
The safety belt locks if there's a sudden stop or a crash.
Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides for Children and Small Adults Rear shoulder belt comfort guides will provide added comfort for children who have outgrown child restraints and for small adults. The comfort guides pull the shoulder belts away from the neck and head. There is one guide for each outside passenger position in che rear seat.

restraint will show you how to do that. Where to Put the Restraint Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rearrather than the front seat. We at General Motors therefore recommend that you put your child restraint in the rear seat. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the frontpassenger seat.
Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child restraint properly. Keep in mind that an unsecuredchild restraint can move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child restraint in yourvehicle -- even when no child is init.
Top Strap If you need to have an anchor installed, you can ask your Buick dealer to put it in for you. If you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell you how to do it. For cars first sold in Canada, child restraints with a top strap must be anchored according to Canadian Law. Your dealer can obtain the hardware k t and install it for you, or you may install it yourself using the instructions provided in the kit. Use the tether hardware kit available from the dealer.
Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Outside Seat Position If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child’s face or neck, putit behind the child restraint. 4. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is positioned so you would beable to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to. fou’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt.

7. TO tighten the belt, feed thelap belt back-into the retractor while you push down onthe child restraint.
Larger Children Children who have outgrownchild restraints should wear the vehicle's safetybelts.
What if a child is wearinga lap-shoulder belt, but the childis so small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s facelor neck? A: I Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the shoulder belt still is on the child’s shoulder, so that in a crash the child’s upper body would have the restraint that belts provide. If the child is sitting in a rear seat outside position, see “Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides” in the Index.
Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt should be worn low and snugon the hips, just touching the child’s thighs. This applies belt force to the child’s pelvic bones in a crash.
Safety Belt Extender Checking Your Restraint Systems If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged restraint system parts. If you see anything that might keep a restraint system from doing its job,have it repaired. should use it. But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you an extender. It’s free.
RepIacing Seat and Restraint System Parts After a Crash If you’ve had a crash, do you need newbelts? After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary. But if the belts were stretched, as they would beif worn during a more severe crash, then you neednew belts. If you ever see a label on the driver’s or the right front passenger’s safety beltthat says toreplace the belt, be sure to do so. Then the new belt will be there to help protect you in an accident.
Section 2 Features and Controls Here you can learn about the many standard and optional features on your Buick, and information on starting, shifting and braking. Also explained are the instrument panel and thewarning systems that tell you if everything is working properly -- and what to do if you have a problem.
Key Reminder 'warning If you leave your keys inthe igni$ion, you willheara
. . Programmable Automatic DoorLocks (Option) Close your doors and turn on the ignition. Every time you moveyour shift lever out of PARK (P) all of the doors will lock. And, every time you stop and move your shift lever into PARK (P), your doors will unlock. If someone needs to get out while you're not in PARK (P),have that person use the manual or power lock. Whenthe door is closed again,it will not lock automatically. Just use the manualor power lock to lock the door again.
You can program the automatic door lock feature to allow the doors to remain locked after you shift into PARK (P). To program the automatic door locks: I. Close your doors and turn the ignition ON. To reprogram the door locks to lock and unlock when you shift in and out of PARK (P), do thefollowing: 1. Close your doors and turn the ignition ON. 2. Keep your foot on the brake pedal. 2. Keep your foot on the brake pedal. 3. Press and hold the driver’s power DOOR UNLOCK switch. 3.
Remote Keyless Entry System This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject tothe following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that maycause undesired operation. Should interference to this system occur, try this: 0 Check todetermine if battery replacement is necessary. See the instructions on battery replacement. e Check the distance.
Operation Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle The driver's door will unlock when UNLOCK is pressed. 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.
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 vehiclebefore the transmitter works, it’s probablytime to change the batteries. For battery replacement, use two Duracell@batteries, type DL-2016. or a similar type- To replace the batteries: 1. Remove the screw from the back cover. 2.
n u n k Security Release The trunk release switch in the glove box allows you to secure items in thetrunk. Move the trunk release switch to off, lock the glove box and take the key with you. Now the trunk release on the driver’s door will not open the trunk.
Universal Theft Deterrent (Option) This light reminds you to activate the theft deterrent system. Here’s how to doit: Remember, the theft deterrent system won’t be activated if you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It only activates if you use a power door lock switch or Remote Keyless Entry System. You should also remember that you can start your vehicle with the correct ignition key if the alarrn has been set off, but this does not shut off the alarm. 1. Open the door.
How to Test the Alarm The alarm can be testedby first having the driver’s window down. Activatethe system by locking the doors with the power doorlock switch or the Remote Keyless Entry System. Get out of the car and close the door and wait for the SECURITY light to go out. Then reach in through the window,unlock the door with themanual door lock, and openthe door. This should set off the alarm. If the alarm does not sound whenit should, check to see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown.
When the PASS-Key% system senses that someone is using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starter won’t work and fuel won’t go to the engine. If someone tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key during this time, the vehicle will not start. This discourages someone from randomly trying different keys with different resistor pellets in an attempt tomake a match.
Ignition Key Positions New Vehicle “Break-In” NOTICE: Your modern Buick doesn’t needan elaborate “break-in.” But itwill perform better in the long run if you follow these guidelines: 0 Don’t drive at any one speedfast or slow for the first500 miles (804 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts. 0 Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time your new brake linings aren’tyet broken in. Hard stops withnew linings can mean premature wear and earlier replacement.
OFF: This position lets you turn off the engine but still A -- RUN turn the steering wheel. It doesn't lock thesteering wheel like LOCK. Use OFF if you must have your car in motion while the engine isnot running. RUN: This isthe position for driving. START This key position starts your engine.

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 toPARK (P) if your Buick is moving.
NOTICE: Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in yourvehicle. If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could change theway 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 partof this manual that tells howdotoit without damaging yourvehicle. See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.
Engine Coolant Heater (Option) In very cold weather, 0 OF (- 18O C) or colder, theengine coolant heater can help. You’ll get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine warm-up. Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a minimum of four hours prior to starting your vehicle. I NOTICE: After you’ve used the coolant heater, be sure to store the cordas it was before to keepit away from moving engine parts. If you don’t, it could be damaged. To use the coolant heater: 1. Turn off the engine.
Automatic Transaxle 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. Ensure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P)range before starting the engine. Your Buick has a brake-transaxle shift interlock. You have to fully apply your regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) when the ignition key is in the RUN position.

See “Shifting Out of PARK (P)” in this section. REVERSE (R): Use this gear to back up. NOTICE: Shifting to REVERSE(R) while your vehicle is moving forward could damage your transaxle. Shift to REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle is stopped.
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (0): This position is for normal driving. If you need more power for passing, and you’re: Going less than approximately 35 mph (56 k m h ) , push your accelerator pedal about halfway down. Going about 35 mph (56 km/h) or more, push the accelerator all the way down. You’ll shift down to the next gear and have more power. THIRD (3): This is like AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (@), but you never gointo Overdrive.
FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy) than SECOND (2). You can use it on very steep hills,or in deep snow or mud. If the selector lever is put inFIRST (I), the transaxle won’t shift into FIRST (1) until the vehicleis going slowly enough. Parking Brake I NOTICE: If your frontwheels can’t rotate, don’t tryto drive. This might happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud were or up against asolid object. You could damage your transaxle.

Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light Engine Coolant Temperature Gage This light tells you that your engine coolant has overheated or your radiator cooling fan is not working.If you have been operating your vehicle under normd driving conditions, you should pull off the road, stopyour vehicle and turn the engine off as soon as possible. The chapter “Problems on the Road” in this manual explains what to do. See “Engine Overheating” in the Index. That reading means the same thing as the warning light.
r LOW COOLANT SERVICE ENGINE SOON If it does not come on at all, have it fixed right away.zf it stays on, or it comes on while you are driving, the computer is indicating that you have a problem. You should take your vehicle in for service soon. I NOTICE: If you keep driving your vehicle with this light on, after a while theemission controls won’t work as well, your fuel economy won’t be as good and your engine may not runas smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs not covered by your warranty.
Engine Oil Pressure Light Door Ajar Light When the ignition is ON, this light will stay on until all the doors are closed and completely latched. This light tells you if there could be a problem with your engine oil pressure. DOOR AJAR When this light comes on and stays on, it means oil isn’t going through your engine properly. You could be low on oil, or you might have some other oil problem.
NOTICE: Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems can becostly and is not coveredby your warranty. There are three ways this light can come on briefly, which are normal and don’t show a problem. They are: 1. The light comes on as a bulb check when you turn your key toRUN. If it doesn’t, be sure to have it fixed so it will be there to warn you if something goes wrong. 2. If you’re idling at a stop sign, the light may blink on and then off. 3.
Tachometer I NOTICE: Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the red area,or engine damage may occur. The tachometer tells you howfast the engine is running. It displays engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).
Fuel Gage The fuel gage shows, about how much fuel is in your tank. It works only when the ignition isON. When the indicator nears Empty (E) you still have a littlefuel left. You need to get more fuelright away. Here are some concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All these situationsare normal and indicate nothing wrong with thefuel gage. 0 At the gas station, the gas pump shutsoff before the gage reads Full (F). 0 It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than thegage indicated.

n 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.
Drunken Driving Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is a national tragedy. It’s the number one contributor to the highway death toll,claiming thousands of victims every year. The obvious way tosolve this highway safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and then drive. But what if people do? How muchis “too much” if the driver plans todrive? It’s a lot less than many might think. Although it depends on each person and situation, here is some general information on the problem.
woman generally will reach a higher BAC level than a man of her same body weight when each has the same number of drinks. The law in many U.S. states sets the legal limit at a BAC of 0.10 percent. In a growing number of U.S. states, and throughout Canada, the limit is 0.08 percent. In some other countries it’s even lower. The BAC limit for all commercial drivers in the U.S. is 0.04 percent. The BAC will be over 0.10 percent after three to six drinks (in one hour).

I S80mtimes,as when you’re driving on snow or ice, it’s easy to ask more of those control systems than the tires and road can provide. That means you can lose control of your vehicle.
Avoid needless heavy braking.Some people drive in spurts -- heavy acceleration followedby heavy This braking -- rather than keeping pace with traffic. is a mistake. Your brakes may not have time to cool between hard stops.Your brakes will wear out much faster if you do a lot of heavy braking. If you keep pace with the traffic and allow realistic following distances, you will eliminate a lot of unnecessary braking. That means better braking andlonger brake life.
The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster than any driver could. The computer is programmed to make the mostof available tire and road conditions. Here’s how anti-lock works. Let’s say the roadis wet. You’re driving safely. Suddenly an animal jumps out in front of you. You slam on the brakes. Here’s what happens with ABS. A computer senses that wheels are slowing down.
~~ close to the vehicle infront of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakesif that vehicle suddenly slowsor stops. Always leave enough room up aheadto stop, even though you haveanti-lock brakes. To Use Anti-Lock Don’t pump the brakes.Just hold the brakepedal down and let anti-lock workfor you. You may hear a motor or clicking noise duringa hard stop, but this is normal.
To turn the system off, press the OFF/ON traction control button located to the lower left of the steering column. Steering Power Steering If you lose power steering assist because the engine stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer but it will take muchmore effort. Steering Tips Driving on Curves It’s important to take curves at a reasonable speed. The TRACTION OFF warning light will come on and stay on.
~ The traction you can getin a curve depends on the condition of your tires andthe road surface, the angle at which the curve is banked, and your speed. While you’re in a curve, speed is theone factor you can control. Steering in Emergencies There are times when steering can bemore effective than braking. Forexample, you come overa hill and find a truck stopped in your lane,or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere,or a child darts out from between Suppose you’re steering througha sharp curve.
Off-Road Recovery You may find sometime that your right wheels have dropped off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should befairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer so that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement. You can turn the steering wheel up to 1/4 turn until the right front tire contacts the pavement edge.
4-12
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 frontin your inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back into the right lane. (Remember that your right outside mirror is convex. The vehicle you just passed may seem to be farther away from you than it really is.) Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time on two-lane roads.
Driving at Night Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One reason is thatsome drivers are likely to be impaired -by alcohol or drugs, withnight vision problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving. 0 Drive defensively. 0 Don’t drink and drive. 0 Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare fromheadlamps behind you. 0 Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow down and keep more space between you and other vehicles. 0 Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your headlamps can light up only so much~roadahead. 0 In remote areas, watch for animals. 0 If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe’placeand rest.
Driving in the Rain Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road you can’t stop, accelerateor turn as well because your tire-to-road traction isn’t as good as on dry roads. And, if your tires don’t have much tread left, you’ll get go slower and be even less traction. It’s always wise to cautious if rain starts to fall while you are driving. The surface may get wet suddenly when your reflexes are tuned for driving on dry pavement. The heavier the rain, the harderit is to see.
~ ~ 1 Hydroplaning Some Other Rainy WeatherTips Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up under your tires that they can actually ride on the water. This can happen if the road is wet enough and you’re going fast enough. When your vehicleis hydroplaning, it has little or no contact with the road. 0 Hydroplaning doesn’thappen often. But it can if your tires haven’t much tread or if the pressure in one or more is low. It can happen if a lot of water is standing on the road.
City Driving One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them. You’ll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to traffic signals. Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: 0 Know the best way to getto 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. 0 Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You’ll save time and energy.
Freeway Driving The most important advice on Reeway driving is: Keep up with traffic and keep to the right. Drive at the same speed most of the other drivers are driving. Too-fast or too-slow driving breaksa smooth traffic flow. Treat the left lane on a freeway as a passing lke. At the entrance there is usually a ramp that leads to the freeway. If you have a clear viewof the freeway as you drive along the entrance ramp, you should beginto check traffic.
When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper lane well in advance. If you miss your exit do not, under any circumstances, stop and back up. Drive on to the next exit. The exitramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply. The exitspeed 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 tendto think you are going slower than you actually are.
Highway Hypnosis Hill and Mountain Roads Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it justplain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or whatever. There is something about an easy stretch of road with the same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy.
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. Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all fluid levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling system and transaxle. These parts can work hard on mountain roads. Know how to go down hills. Themost important thing to know is this: let your engine do some of the slowing down. Shift to a lower gear when yougo down a steep or long hill. 0 Know how to go uphill.
1 Here are some tips for winter driving: 0 Have your Buick in good shape for winter. Be sure your engine coolant mix is correct. e You may want to put winter emergency supplies in your trunk. 4-24 Include an ice scraper, a small brushor broom, a supply of windshield washer fluid, arag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth, and a couple of reflective warning triangles.
Driving on Snow orIce 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. What’s the worst time for this? “Wet ice.” Very cold snow or ice can be slick and hard to drive on. But wet ice can be even more trouble because it may offer the least traction of all.
Your anti-lock brakes improve your ability to 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 theIndex. If You’re Caught in a Blizzard Allow greater following distance on any slippery road. Watch for slippery spots. The road might be fine until you hita spot that’s covered with ice.
cloth to your vehicle to alert police that you’ve been stopped by the snow. Put on extra clothing or wrap a blanket around you. If you have no blankets or extra clothing, make body insulators from newspapers, burlap bags, rags, floor mats -- anything you can wrap around yourself or tuck under your clothing to keep warm. You can run the engine to keep warm, but be careful.
Run your engine onIy as long as you must.This saves fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little faster than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. This uses less fuel for the heat that you get andit keeps the battery charged. You will need a well-charged battery to restart the vehicle, and possiblyfor signaling later on with your headlamps.Let the heater i n for awhile. Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost all the way to preserve the heat.
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if it isequipped with the 3800 6 3 6 ) engine or Supercharged (L67) engine and proper trailer towing equipment. To identify what the vehicle trailering capacity is foryour vehicle, you should read the information in “Weight of the Trailer” that appears later in this section. But trailering is different than just driving your vehicle by itself. Trailering means changes in handling, durability, and fuel economy.
~~~ ~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~ Three important considerations have to do with weight Weight of the Trailer Tongue Weight of the Trailer The tongue load (A) of any trailer isan important weight to measure because it affects the total capacity weight of your vehicle. The capacity weight includes the in curb weight of the vehicle, any cargo you may carry it, and the people who will be ridingin the vehicle.
If you’re using a “dead-weight” hitch, the trailer tongue (A) should weigh 10% of the total loaded trailer weight (B). If you have a “weight-distributing” hitch, the trailer tongue (A) should weigh 12% of the total loaded trailer weight (B). After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and then the tongue, separately, to see if the weights are proper. If they aren’t, you may be able toget them right simply by moving some items around in the trailer.
Safety Chains Driving with a Trailer You should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue of the trailer so that the tongue will not drop to the road if it becomes separated from the hitch. Instructions about safety chains may be provided by the hitch manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation €or attaching safety chains and do not attach them to the bumper.
Passing Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, because you’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to go much farther beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane. When you towa trailer, your vehicle has to have a different turn signal flasher and extra wiring. The green arrows on your instrument panel will flash whenever you signal a turn or lanechange.
Driving On Grades Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t shift down, you might have to use your brakes so much that they would get hot and no longer work well. When You Are Ready to Leave After Parking on a Hill 1. Apply your regular brakes and hold the pedal down while you: If you On a long uphill grade, use the highest gear possible. cannot maintain posted speeds, driving at a lower speed may help avoid overheating your engine and transaxle.
Section 5 Problems on the Road Here you’ll find what to doabout some problems that can occur on the road. 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. 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 NOTICE: If you carry reflective triangles, you can set one u t the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind your vehicle. Ignoring these stepscould result incostly damage to yourvehicle that wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. Trying tostart yourBuick by pushing or pulling it won’t work, and itcould damage yourvehicle. Jump Starting If your battery hasrun down, you may wantto use another vehicle and some jumper cables to start your Buick.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all lamps that aren’t needed, and radios. This will avoid sparks and help saveboth batteries. And it could save your radio! NOTICE: If you leave your radio on, it could be badly damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. 4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on each battery. Your Riviera has a remote positive (+) terminal for this purpose. (The battery is under the back seat.
5. Check that the jumper cables don’t have loose or missing insulation. If they do, you could get a shock. The vehicles could be damaged, too. Before you connect the cables, here are some basic things you should know. Positive (+) will go to positive (+) and negative (-) will go to negative (-) or a metal engine part. Don’t connect (+) to (-) or you’ll get a short that would damage the battery and maybe other parts, too. 6.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run the engine for a while. 11. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery. If it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs service. GOOD BATTERY DEAD BATTERY 12. Remove the cables in reverse order to prevent electrical shorting. Take care that they don’t touch each other or any other metal. Towing Your Vehicle Try to have a GM dealer or a professional towing service tow your Buick.
When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition key off. The steering wheel should be clamped in a straight-ahead position, with a clamping device designed for towing service. Do not use the vehicle’s steering column lock for this. The transaxle should be in NEUTRAL (N) and the parking brake released. Don’t have your vehicle towed on the front wheels, unless you must.

2. Turn on your heater to fullhot at thehighest fan speed and open the window as necessary. 3. If you’re in a traffic jam, shift to NEUTRAL (N); otherwise, shift to the highest gear while driving -AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (@)or THIRD (3). If you no longer have the overheat warning, you can drive. Just to be safe, drive slower for about 10 minutes. If the warning doesn’t come back on, you can drive normally. If the warning continues, pull over, stop, and park your vehicle right away.
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. If the coolant inside the coolant recovery tank is boiling, don’t do anything else untilit cools down. r. NOTICE: Engine damage from running your engine without coolant isn’t covered by your warranty. If there seems to be no leak, with the engine on check to see if the electric engine fans are running.
Bow to Add Coolant to the Coolant Recovery Tank I If you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level ’ ~ i isn’t atFULL COLD, add a 50/50 mixture of clean water (preferably distilled) and a proper antifreeze at the coolant recovery tank. (See “Engine Coolant” inthe Index for more information about the proper coolant mix.) I 5-14 I NOTICE: In cold weather, water can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, beater core and other parts. Use the recommended co-olant.
When the coolant in the coolant recovery tank is at FULL COLD, start your vehicle. If the overheat warning continues, there's one more thing you can try. You can add the propercoolant mix directly to the radiator but be sure the cooling system is cool before you do it.
3.
4. Then fill the coolant recovery tank to FULL COLD. 5. Put the cap back on the coolant recovery tank, but leave the radiator pressure cap off. 6. Start the engine and let it run until you can feel the upper radiator hose getting hot. Watch out for the engine fans. 7. By this time the coolant level inside the radiator filler neck may be lower. If the level is lower, add more of the proper mix through the filler neck until the level reaches the base of the filler neck.
8. Then replace the pressure cap. 1 I At any time during this procedure if coolant begins to flow out of the filler neck, reinstall the pressurecap. Be sure the arrows on the pressure cap line up like this.
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. The following steps will tell you howto use the jack and change a tire.

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. Lower the vehicle by rotating the wheel wrench counterclockwise. Lower the jack completely.
Using the wheel wrench, tighten the wheel nuts firmly in a criss-cross sequence as shown. Then replace the wheel cover. Be sure to position the alignment pin on the cover with the notch in the wheel. Apply pressure around the edge of the cap tosnap it in place. Don’t try to put a wheel cover on your compact spare tire. It won’t fit. Store the wheel cover in the trunk until you have the flat tire repaired or replaced. NOTICE: Wheel covers won’tfit on your compact spare.

Check the inflation pressure regularly. It should be 60 psi (420 Wa). After installing the compact spare on your vehicle, you should stop as soon aspossible and make sure your spare tire is correctly inflated.
Rocking your vehicle to get it out: NOTICE: j : Spinningyourwheelscandestroypartsofyour vehicle as well as the tires. If you spin the wheels too fastwhile 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. 1 5-28 First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will clear the area around your front wheels. If your vehicle has traction control, you should turn the system off.
Section 6 Service and Appearance Care Here you will find information about the care of your Buick. This section begins with service and fuel information, and then it shows how to check important fluid and lubricant levels. There is also technical information about your vehicle, and a part devoted to its appearance care. We hope you’ll want to keep your GM vehicle all GM. Genuine GM parts have one of these marks: Service Your Buick dealer knows your vehicle best and wants you to be happy with it.
Doing Your Own Service Work If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll -want to get the proper Buick Service Manual. It tells you ;much more about how to service your Buick than this .-manualcan. To order the proper service manual, see “Service and Owner Publications” in the Index. Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to do your ownservice work, see “ServicingYour Air Bag-Equipped Buick” in the Index.
Fuel 3800 L36 (Code K) Engine The 8thdigit of your vehicle identification number (VIN) shows the code letter for your engine. You will find the VIN at the top left of your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle Identification Number” in the Index.) Use regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher. It should meet specifications ASTM D4814 in the United States and CGSB 3.5-92 in Canada. These fuels should have the proper additives, so you should not have to add anything to the fuel.
Gasolines for Cleaner Air Fuel Your use of gasoline with deposit control additives will help prevent deposits from forming in your engine and fuel system. That helps keep your engine in tune and your emission control system working properly. It’s good for your vehicle, and you’ll be doing your part for cleaner air. 3800 Supercharged L67 (Code 1) Engine Many gasolines are now blended with oxygenates. General Motors recommends that you use gasolines with these blending materials, such as MTBE and ethanol.
But don’t worry if you heara littlepinging noise when you’re accelerating or driving up a hill. That’s normal and you don’thave to buy a higher octane fuel to get rid of pinging. It’s the heavy, constant knock that means you have a problem. What about gasoline with blending materials that contain oxygen (oxygenates), such as MTBE or alcohol? MTBE is “methyl tertiary-butyl ether.” Fuel that is no more than-15% MTBE is fine foryour vehicle. Ethanol is ethyl or grain alcohol.
Fuels in Foreign Countries Filling Your Tank If you plan on driving in another country outside the U.S. or Canada, unleaded fuel may be hard to find. Do not use leaded gasoline. If you use even one tankful, your emission controls won’t work well or at all. With continuous use, spark plugs can get fouled, the exhaust system can corrode, and your engine oil can deteriorate quickly. Your vehicle’s oxygen sensor will be damaged. All of that means costly repairs that wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
The release button is on the driver’s door armrest. The fueldoor can also be opened by using the release in the trunk compartment, on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
Checking Things Under theHood Hood Release Pull the handle inside the vehicle to open theho-od. The handle is located on the lower left side of the instrument panel, next to the parking brake release.
Then go to the front of the vehicle and locate the secondary hoodrelease. It is under the €rant edge of the grille, slightly right of center as you face the vehicle. Push up on the secondary hood release lever as you lift up the hood.
3800 Supercharged (L67) Engine (Option) Your vehicle may have a 3800 Supercharged engine. Buick chose supercharging rather than turbocharging because Buick emphasizes smooth, refined power. The supercharger is a device which is designed to pump more air into theengine than it would normally use. This air, mixed with fuel, creates increased engine power. Since the supercharger is a pump and is driven from an engine accessory drive belt, increased pressure is available at all driving conditions.
Engine Oil If the CHECK OIL CHECK OIL LEVEL LEVEL light on the instrument panelcomes on, it means you need to check your engine oil level right away. For more information, see “Check Oil Level Light” in the Index. You should check your engine oil level regularly; this is an added reminder. 6-12 It’s a good idea to check your engine oil every time you get fuel. In order to get anaccurate reading, the oil must be warm andthe vehicle must be on level ground.
To Check Engine Oil When to Add Oil h l l out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove itagain, keeping the tip down, and check the level. If the oil is at or below the ADD mark, thenyou’ll need to add some oil. But you must use the right kind.This part explains what kind of oil to use. For crankcase capacity, see “Capacities and Specifications” in the Index. I NOTICE: Don’t add too much oil.
t HOT "F - tOD t.38 WUlTRER - a$ +.
As shown in the chart, SAE 1OW-30 is best for your vehicle. However, you can use SAE 5W-30 if it’s going to be colder than 60 O F (16 C) before your next oil change. When it’s verycold, you should use SAE 5W-30. These numbers on an oil container show its viscosity, or thickness. Do not use other viscosity oils, such as SAE 20W-50. O NOTICE: When to Change Engine Oil See if any one of these istrue for you: Most trips are less than 5 to 10 miles (8 to 16 km).
What to Do with Used Oil ~ , ’ Air Cleaner Did youknow that used engme oil contains certain elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good handcleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing or rags containing used engine oil. (See the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.) Used oil can be a real threat to the environment.
Supercharger Oil What Kindof Oil to Use See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants”in the Index and use only the recommendedoil. How to Check and AddOil Check oil only when theengine is cold. Allow the engine to cool two to three hoursafter running. Unless you are technically qualified and havethe 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 km) or every 36 months. 6-18 1.
Automatic Transaxle Fluid Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the transaxle fluid level if you have been driving: When to Check and Change A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid level is when the engine oil ischanged. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to change your fluid. See "Scheduled Maintenance Services" in the Index. How to Check Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have this done at your Buick dealer Service Department.
How to Add Fluid Engine Coolant Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transaxle fluid to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index. The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when it islow. If youhave a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine Overheating” in the Index. If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper fluid to bring the level into thecross-hatched area on the dipstick. 1. Pull out the dipstick. 2.
t Adding Coolant NOTICE: If you usean improper coolant mix, your engine could overheat and be badly damaged. The repair cost wouldn’t be covered your by warranty. Too much water in the mix can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts. 6-22 I The engine coolant recovery tank is located on the driver’s side of the engine compartment. To Check Coolant When your engine is cold, the coolant level should be at FULL COLD or a little higher.
LOW COOLANT LEVEL If this light comes on, itmeans you’re low on engine coolant. Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, but be careful not to spill it. To Add Coolant If you need more coolant, add the proper mix at the coolant recovery tank.
Radiator Pressure Cap Power Steering Fluid NOTICE: Your radiator cap is 15 a psi (105 kPa) pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap line up with the overflow tube on the radiator filler neck. When youreplace your radiator pressure cap, an AC@ cap isrecommended. Thermostat Engine coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat in the engine coolant system.
How To Check Power SteeringFluid Windshield WasherFluid When the engine compartment is cool, unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Replace the cap and completely tighten it. Then remove the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick. What to Use The level should be at the FULL COLD mark. Add enough fluid to bring the level up to the mark. A fluidhss in this system could indicate a pro Have th_e system inspected and repaired, . .
NOTICE: When using concentratedwasher fluid, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adding water. Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid tank and other partsof the washer system. Also, water doesn’t clean as well as washerfluid. FiIl your washer fluid tankonly 314 full when it’s very cold. This allows for if expansion, which could damage the tank it is completelyfull. Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer.
should have your brake system fixed, since a leak means that sooner or later your brakes won’t work well, or won’t work at all. So, it isn’t a good idea to “top off’ your brake fluid. Adding brake fluid won’t correct a leak. If you add fluid when your linings are worn, then you’ll have too much fluid when you get new brake linings. You should add (or remove) brake fluid, as necessary, only when work is done on the brake hydraulic system.
Brake Wear Your Buick has four-wheel disc brakes. Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed. The sound may come and go orbe heard all the time your vehicle is moving (except when you are pushing on the brake pedal firmly). NOTICE: Continuing to drivewith worn-out brake pads could result in 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. Vehicles we design and test have top-quality GM brake parts in them, as your Buick does when it isnew. When you replace parts of your braking system -- for example, when your brake linings wear down and you have to have new ones put in -- be sure you get new genuine GM replacement parts.
Vehicle Storage If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or more, take off the black, negative (-) cable from the battery. This will help keep your battery from running down. E To be sure the vent hose (A) is properly attached, the vent hose 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).
Halogen Bulbs The right high beam headlarnp access area is next to the radiator pressure cap. The right low beam headlarnpaccess area is to the right and slightly behind the high beam area. The left high beam headlarnp access area is located near the air cleaner. The left low beam headlamp access area is behind and between the high beamarea and the air cleaner.
If more hand clearance is required, remove the air cleaner assembly asfollows: 1. Remove the air duct clamp and separate the duct from the air cleaner cover. 2. Remove the aircleaner cover and detach the electrical connector. 3. Tilt and pull thecover toward the engine to Turn the bulb socket 1/4 turn toward the center of the engine compartment, while pressing it firmly. Remove the wire connector from the bulb by lifting the lock tab and pulling it away from the plastic base.
Headlamp Aiming Your vehicle has the composite headlamp system. These headlamps have horizontal and vertical aim indicators. The aim has been pre-set at the factory and should need no further adjustment. If your vehicle is damaged in an accident and the headlamp aim seems to be affected, see your Buick dealer. Headlamps on damaged vehicles may require recalibration of the horizontal aim by yourBuick dealer.
It is r e c o m e n d d that theupper Limit not exceed plus 0.4 degrees .from the center o€the bubble.Other drivers may flash their brig& lights at you if your adjustment is much above plus0.4 degrees. The headlamp aiming device is under tbe hood, directly behind the headamps.
Taillamp Bulb Replacement 2. Remove the plastic wingnuts that hold the taillamp assembly in place. 1. Remove the screws that secure the trunk trim over the taillamp area.
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 bulb. 6-36 4 4. Remove the bulb socket assembly by squeezing the plastic lock and turning it 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
Tires We don’t make tires. Tour new vehicle comes with high-quality tires made by a leading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted by the tire manufacturers and their warranties are delivered with every newBuick. If your spare tire is a different brand than your roadtires, you will havea tirewarranty folder from each of these manufacturers. 5. Pull the bulb straight out to remove it from the socket. 6. Install a new bulb into the socket. Reverse the instructions to replace the taillamp assembly.
6-38
When to Check Check your tires once a month or more. Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should beat 60 psi (420 Wa). The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle.The first rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index for scheduled rotation intervals. How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire pressure.
Buying New Tires To find outwhat 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 Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) number on each tire’s sidewall. When you get new tires, get ones with that same TPC Spec number. That way, your vehicle will continue to have tires that are designed to giveproper endurance, handling, speed rating, traction, ride and other things during normal service on your vehicle.
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.
Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance l n e wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance. equipment parts. This way, you willbe sure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your Buick model. In most cases, you will not need to have your wheels aligned again. However, if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way or the other, the alignment may need to be reset.
Appearance Care Remember, cleaning products can~behazardous. Some are toxic. Others can burst into flame if you strike a match or getthem on a hot part of the vehicle. Some are dangerous if you breathe their fumes in a closed space. When you use anything from a container to clean your Buick, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. And always open your doors or windows when you’re cleaning the inside.
, If Using Foam-vpe Cleaner on Fabric Vacuum and brush the area to remove any loose dirt. Always clean a whole trim panel or section. Mask surrounding trim along stitch or welt lines. Mix Multi-Purpose Powdered Cleaner following the directions on the container label. Use suds only and apply with a clean sponge. Don’t saturate the material. Don’t rub it roughly. As soon as you’ve cleaned the section, use a sponge to remove the suds. ‘ 0 Rinse the section with a clean, wet sponge.
Special Cleaning Problems If an odor lingers after cleaning vomit or urine, treat the area with a waterhaking soda solution: 1 teaspoon ( 5 ml) of baking soda to 1 cup (250 ml) of lukewarm water. Greasy or Oily Stains Stains caused by grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish, coffee with cream, chewing gum, cosmetic creams, vegetable oils, wax crayon, tar and asphalt can be removed as follows: 0 If needed, clean lightly with solvent-type cleaner.
Care of Safety Belts Keep belts clean and dry. Glass Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No. 1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco smoke and dust films. Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass, because they may cause scratches. Avoid placing decals on the inside rear window, since they may have to be scraped off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear window, an electric defogger element may be damaged.
Cleaning the Outsideof 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 or other material may be on the blade or windshield. Clean the outside of the windshield with GM Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami Powder@(GM Part No. 1050011). The windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse itwith water. Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength windshield washer solvent.
Finish Care Occasional waxingor mild polishing of your Buickby hand may be necessaryto remove residue from the paint finish. You can get GM approved cleaning products from your dealer. (See“Appearance Care and Maintenance Materials” in the Index.) Your Buick has a “basecoatlclearcoat” paint finish. The clearcoat gives moredepth and gloss to the colored basecoat. Always use waxes andpolishes that are non-abrasive and made for a basecoatklearcoat paint finish.
Tires Underbody Maintenance To clean your tires, use a stiff brush with a tire cleaner. Chemicals used for iceand snow removal and dust control can collect on the underbody. If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection. When applying a tire dressing always take care towipe off any overspray or splash from painted surfaces.
Appearance Care and Maintenance Materials You can get these from your GM Parts Department.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers Power.Windows and Other Power Options The wiring circuits in your car areprotected from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away. Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse.

Introduction Your Vehicle and the Environment This section covers the maintenance required for your Buick. Your vehicle needs these services to retain its safety, dependability and emission control performance. Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep your vehicle in good working condition, but also helps the environment. All recommended maintenance procedures are important.
. . .. ,’ ,..
Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services Using Your Maintenance Schedule We at General Motors want to help you keep your vehicle in good working condition. But we don’t know exactly how you’ll drive it. You may drive very short distances only a few times a week. Or you may drive long distances all the time in very hot, dusty weather. You may use your vehicle in making deliveries. Or you may drive it towork, to doerrands or inmany other ways.
Maintenance Schedule Definition IISchedule I Follow Maintenance Schedule I if any one of these is true for your vehicle: 0 Most trips are less than 5 to 10 miles (8 to 16 km). This is particularly important when outside temperatures are below freezing. 0 Most trips include extensive idling (such as frequent driving in stop-and-go traffic). You frequently tow a trailer or use a carrier on top of your vehicle.
