Starting The Engine - Buick 1994 LeSabre Owner's Manual

(B) Lock:
Before you put the key in, your ignition will
be in the Lock position. This position locks your
ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It's a theft
deterrent feature.
(C) Off: This position lets you turn off the engine but
still turn the steering wheel. It doesn't lock the steering
wheel like Lock. Use "Off' if you must have your car in
motion while the engine is off.
(D) Run: This is the position for driving.
(E) Start:
This position starts your engine.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in "Lock" and you can't
turn it, be sure
it
is all the way in. If it is, then turn
the steering wheel left and right while you turn
the key hard. But turn the key only with your
hand. Using a tool to force it could break the key
or the ignition switch. If none of this works, then
your vehicle needs service.
Starting Your Engine
Move your shift lever to "P" (Park) or "N" (Neutral).
Your engine won't start in any other position
--
that's a
safety feature. To restart when you're already moving,
use "N" (Neutral) only.
NOTICE:
Don't try to shift to "PYy (Park) if your Buick is
moving. If you do, you could damage the
transaxle. Shift to "P" (Park) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your
ignition key to "Start." When the engine starts, let go
of the key. The idle speed will go down as your
engine gets warm.
