Your vehicle has the PASS-Key

system. The key has a transponder in the key head that
matches a decoder in the vehicle’s steering column.
If a replacement key or any additional key is needed,
you must purchase this key from your dealer. The
key will have PK3
®
stamped on it. Keep the bar code
tag that came with the original keys. Give this tag to your
dealer if you need a new key made.
Any new PASS-Key

before it will start your vehicle. See PASS-Key
®
III on
page 2-16 for more information on programming
your new key.
Notice: Your vehicle has a number of features that
can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of

your vehicle to get in. So be sure you have
spare keys.
If you ever do get locked out of your vehicle, call Buick
Roadside Assistance. See Roadside Assistance
Program on page 7-5 for more information.
