LOCK (B): 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.
OFF
(C): 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.
RUN
(D):
This is the position for driving.
START
(E):
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.

Don’t try to shift to PARK
(P)
if your Buick
is
moving.
If
