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

Always unlock a door with a key, or use the Remote
Keyless Entry System transmitter. Unlocking a door
any other way will set off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with your key.
You can also turn off the alarm by using the Remote
Keyless Entry transmitter,
if you
have
it.
The alarm
won't stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.
