Buick Lucerne Owner Manual - 2011
When trying to start the vehicle if the engine does not
start and the security light on the instrument panel
cluster comes on, there may be a problem with your
theft-deterrent system. Turn the ignition off and try
again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to
be not damaged, try another ignition key. At this time,
you may also want to check the fuse, see Fuses and
Circuit Breakers
on page 6‑106
. If the engine still does
not start with the other key, your vehicle needs service.
If your vehicle does start, the first key may be faulty.
