If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can't
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is it 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.
Retained Accessory Power
After you turn the ignition to OFF and remove the key,
for about 10 minutes, you will have electrical power
to such accessories as the radio, power windows and
astroroof (if equipped). If you open a door, the retained
accessory power is shut off.
Always leave your key in LOCK. If your leave your
key in any other position than LOCK, your battery will
discharge prematurely.

Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL
(N).
Your engine won't start in any other position
--
that's a
safety feature. To restart when you're already moving,
use NEUTRAL (N) only.
NOTICE:
Don't try to shift to PARK (P) if your Buick is
moving. I f you do, you could damage the
transaxle. Shift to PARK (P) 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.
