Starting Your Engine
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.
If
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.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in
START
for longer than
15
seconds
at
a
time will cause your battery
to
be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat
can damage your starter motor.
2.
If
it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in
START for about
three
to five seconds at a time until
your engine starts. Wait about
15
seconds between
each try to help avoid draining your battery
or
damaging your starter.
