Frequently Asked Questions - Roadmaster (1995) Buick

How do I change the engine oil?

Refer to the Engine Oil Life System section. The vehicle calculates oil life based on usage. When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message appears, drain the old oil, replace the filter, and refill with the recommended oil grade (SAE 5W-30). Reset the oil life system after the change.

How do I use the cruise control?

Press the ON/OFF button on the steering wheel to activate. Accelerate to desired speed, then press SET−. To resume a set speed, press +RES. Press ☐ to disengage without erasing the set speed.

What should I do if the low tire pressure warning light comes on?

Stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver's door jamb. The light will turn off after the pressure is corrected. Check tire pressure monthly.

How do I program a new remote keyless entry transmitter?

Only RKE transmitters programmed to your vehicle will work. See your Buick dealer to program new transmitters. Up to eight transmitters can be programmed. Lost or stolen transmitters must be deactivated by the dealer.

How do I start the engine using remote start?

Aim the RKE transmitter at the vehicle. Press and release the Lock button, then press and hold the Remote Start button (Ω) until the parking lamps flash. The engine will run for 10 minutes. Extend by repeating steps once.

How do I fold the third-row seats?

Remove any items on or under the seat. Disconnect the rear safety belt mini-latch and stow it. Pull up on the release lever on the back of the seat and push the seatback forward to lay flat.

What type of fuel should I use?

Use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 (R+M)/2 or higher. Do not use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol unless approved by GM.

How do I adjust the power seats?

Use the seat adjustment control: slide forward/rearward, raise/lower the front of the cushion, raise/lower the entire seat. Use the reclining control to tilt the seatback. Lumbar can be adjusted with the lumbar control.

How do I pair a Bluetooth phone?

Ensure your phone is Bluetooth-enabled. From the infotainment system, go to Phone settings and select Pair Device. Search for the vehicle on your phone and confirm the pairing code. The phone will then connect automatically.

What should I do if the engine overheats?

If the coolant temperature warning light comes on or the gauge shows high temperature, pull over and turn off the engine. Check coolant level after cooling. If low, add a 50/50 mix of DEX-COOL coolant and water. Do not remove radiator cap when hot.

WhenShouldanAirbag Inflate?

Thevehiclehasfrontalairbags, a frontcenterairbag, seat-mounted sideimpactairbags, androof-rail airbags. See Airbag System on page 3-22. These airbags are designed to inflate if the impact exceeds specific airbag system's deployment threshold. Deployment thresholds are used to predict how severe acrash is likely to be in time for the airbag to inflate and help prestrain the occupants. Deployment thresholds can vary with specific vehicle design.

Frontalairbagsaredesignedto inflateinmoderatetoseverefrontal ornearfrontalcrashestohelp reducethepotentialforsevere injuries,mainlytothedriver'sor frontoutboardpassenger'shead andchest.

Whether the frontal air bags will or should inflate is not based primarily on how fast the vehicle is traveling.

Itdependsonwhatishit,the directionoftheimpact,andhow quicklythevehicleslowsdown.

Frontalairbagsmayinflateat differentcrashspeedsdependingon whetherthevehiclehitsanobject straightonoratanangle,and whethertheobjectisfixedor moving,rigidordeformable,narrow orwide.

Frontalairbagsarenotintendedto inflateduringvehiclerollovers, rear impacts, ormanysideimpacts.

Inaddition, the vehicle has dual-stage frontal airbags. Dual-stage airbags adjust the restraint according to crash severity. The vehicle has electronic frontal sensors, which help the sensing system distinguish between a moderate frontal impact and more severe frontal impact. Form moderate frontal impacts, dual-stage airbags inflate at level less than full deployment. Form more severe frontal impacts, full deployment occurs.

Q: Whatarethedifferenttypes of add-onchildrestraints?

A: Add-onchildrestraints, which are purchased by the vehicle owner, are available in four basic types. Selection of particular restraint should take into consideration not only the child's weight, height, and age but also whether or not therestraint will be compatible with the motor vehicle in which it will be used. Formost basic types of child restraints, there are many different models available. When purchasing a child restraint, be sureitis designed to be used in amotor vehicle. If it is, the restraint will have all labels saying that it meets federal motor vehicles safety standards.

1. Donotsetthecompasszone whenthevehicleismoving. Only setitwhenthevehicleisin P(Park).

Pressthevehicleinformation buttonuntilPRESS √TO CHANGECOMPASSZONE displays.

1. Find the vehicle's current location and variance zone number on themap. Zones 1 through 15 are available.
2. Presstheset/resetbutton to scrollthroughandselectthe appropriatevariancezone.

3. Pressthetrip/fuelbuttonuntil thevehicleheading, for example, NforNorth, is displayed in the DIC.

4. If calibration is necessary, calibratethecompass. See "Compass Calibration Procedure" following.

CompassCalibration

The compasscanbemanually calibrated. Only calibratethe compassinamagnetically clean and safelocation, such as an open parking lot, wheredriving the vehicle in circles is not adanger. It suggests to calibrate away from all buildings, utility wires, manhole covers, or other industrial structures, if possible.

IfCALshouldeverappearinthe DICdisplay, thecompassshouldbe calibrated.

If the DIC display does not show a heading, forexample, N for North, or the heading does not change after making turns, therem maybe a strong magnetic field interfering with the compass. Such interference may be caused by amagnetic CB or cellphone antennamount, a magnetic emergency light, magnetic notepadholder, oranyother magneticitem. Turnoffthevehicle, movethemagneticitem, thenturn onthevehicle and calibratethe compass.

Tocalibratethecompass, usethe following procedure:

CompassCalibrationProcedure

1. Before calibrating the compass, makes sure the compass zone is set to the variance zone in which the vehicle is located. See "Compass Variance (Zone) Procedure" earlier in this section.

Donotoperateanyswitches suchaswindow,sunroof, climatecontrols,seats,etc. duringthecalibrationprocedure.

1. Pressthevehicleinformation buttonuntilIPRESS √TO CALIBRATECOMPASS displays.

2. Presstheset/resetbutton to start the compass calibration.

3. The DIC will display CALIBRATING: DRIVEIN CIRCLES. Drivethe vehicle in tight circles at less than 8 km/h (5 mph) to complete the calibration. The DIC will display CALIBRATION COMPLETE for a few seconds when the calibration is complete. The DIC display will then return to the previous menu.

BatteryLoad Management

The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) that estimates the battery's temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery.

Whenthebattery'sstateofcharge islow,thevoltageisraisedslightly toquicklybringthechargebackup. Whenthestateofchargeishigh, thevoltageisloweredslightlyto preventovercharging.Ifthevehicle hasavoltmetergaugeoravoltage displayontheDriverInformation Center(DIC),youmayseethe

The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This because the generator (alternator) may not be spinning fast enough that lidetoproduce all of the power needed for very high electrical loads.

Ahighelectricalloadoccurswhen severalofthefollowingareon,such as:headlamps,highbeams,fog lamps,rearwindowdefogger, climatecontrolfanathighspeed, heatedseats,enginecoolingfans, trailerloads,andloadspluggedinto accessorypoweroutlets.

EPMworkstoppreventexcessive dischargeofthebattery.Itdoesthis bybalancingthegenerator'soutput andthevehicle'selectricalneeds. Itcanincreaseengineidlespeedto generatemorepowerwhenever needed.Itcantemporarilyreduce thepowerdemandsofsome accessories.

Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest level of corrective action, this action may be notice able to the driver. If so, a DIC message might be displayed, such as BATTERY SAVERACTIVE, BATTERY VOLTAGELOW, or LOWBATTERY. If one of these messages displays, it is recommended that the driver reduces the electrical loads as much as possible. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5-22.

ControlofaVehicle

Braking, steering, and accelerating are important factors in helping to control vehicle while driving.

Braking

Brakingactioninvolvesperception timeandreactiontime.Decidingto pushthebrakepedalisperception time.Actuallydoingitis reactiontime.

Averagedriverreactiontimeis about three-quarters of a second. In that time, a vehicle moving at 100 km/h (60 mph) travels 20 m (66 ft), which could be a lot of distance in an emergency.

Helpfulbrakingtipstokeepinmind include:

• Keepenoughdistancebetween youandthevehicleinfront ofyou.
• Avoidneedlessheavybraking.
• Keeppacewithtraffic.

If the engine ever stops while the vehicle is being driven, brake normally but donot pump the brakes. Doings could make the pedal hardertopushdown. If the engine stops, there will become power brake assist but it will be used when the brake is applied. Oncethe power assist is used up, it cantakelongertostop and the brake pedal will be hardertopush.

Steering

VariableEffortSteering

Some vehicles have aesteering system that varies the amount of effort required to osteer the vehicle in relation to the speed of the vehicle.

VehicleLoadLimits

It is very important to know how much weight your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and includest the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all

nonfactory-installedoptions. Twolabelsonyourvehicleshow howmuchweightitmay properlycarry,theTireand LoadingInformationlabeland theCertification/Tirelabel.

WARNING

Donotloadthevehicleany heavierthantheGross VehicleWeightRating (GVWR), oreitherthe maximumfrontorrearGross AxleWeightRating(GAWR). Thiscancausesystemsto breakandchangethewaythe vehiclehandles. Thiscould causelossofcontrolanda crash. Overloadingcanalso shortenthelifeofthevehicle.

TireandLoadingInformation Label

ExampleLabel

Avehicle-specific Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the center pillar (B-pillar). The tire and loading information label shows the number of occupant seating positions (1), and the maximum vehicle capacity weight (2) in kilograms and pounds.

The Tire and Loading Information label also shows the sizeofthe originalequipment tires(3) and there recommended coldtireinflation pressures(4). Formoreinformationontires and inflation see Tireson page 10-34 and TirePressure on page 10-41.

Thereisalsoimportantloading informationonthevehicle Certification/Tirelabel.Ittells youtheGrossVehicleWeight Rating(GVWR)andtheGross AxleWeightRating(GAWR)for thefrontandrearaxle.See "Certification/TireLabel"laterin thissection.

StepsforDeterminingCorrect LoadLimit

1. Locatethestatement"The combinedweightof occupantsandcargoshould

neverexceedXXXkgor XXXlbs"onyourvehicle's placard.

1. Determinethecombined weightofthedriverand passengersthatwillberiding inyourvehicle.

2. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXXkgor XXXlbs.

3. Theresultingfigureequals theavailableamountofcargo andluggageloadcapacity. Forexample, ifthe "XXX" amountequals1400lbs and therewillbefive150lb passengersinyourvehicle, theamountofavailablecargo andluggageloadcapacityis 650lbs(1400-750(5x150) =650lbs).

4. Determinethecombined weightofluggageandcargo beingloadedonthevehicle. Thatweightmaynotsafely exceedtheavailablecargo andluggageloadcapacity calculatedinStep4.

5. If your vehicle will betowing a trailer, the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity for your vehicle.

See Trailer Towingonpage9-45 for important information on towingatraler, towingsafety rules and trailering tips.

This position can also be used for service and diagnostics, and to verify the proper operation of them malfunction indicator lampasm may be required for emission inspection purposes. Theswitch stays in this position when the engine is running. The transmission is all unlocked in this position. If you leave the key in the ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN position with the engine off, the battery could bedrained. You may not be able to start the vehicle if the battery is allowed to drain for an extended period of time.

Ω(START): Thisistheposition that starts the engine. When the engine starts, releasethe key. The ignition switch will return to ON/RUN for driving.

KeyLockRelease

The vehicle has an electronic key lock release system. This system is to prevent ignition key removal unless the shift lever is in P (Park).

The keylock releasewillnotwork if the battery is charged less than 9 - volts, or uncharged. Try charging or jump starting the battery. See Jump Starting on page 10-65.

BrakeAssist

This vehicle has a brake assist feature designed to assist the driver instopping or decreasing vehicle speed in emergency driving conditions. This feature uses the stability system hydraulic brake control module to supplement the power brakesystem under conditions where the driver has quickly and forcefully applied the brake pedalin an attempt quickly stoporslowdown the vehicle. The stability system hydraulic brake control module increases brake pressure at each corner of the vehicle until the ABS activates. Minor brake pedal pulsation or pedalmovement during this time is normal and the drivers should continueto apply the brake pedal as the drivingsituation dictates. The brake assist feature will automatically disengagewhen the brake pedal is released or brake pedal pressure is quickly decreased.

During the transition period between whenthedriver releases the brakepedalandstarts to acceleratetodriveoffonagrade, HSAholdsthebrakingpressure to ensure that there is norolling. The brakes will automatically release when the acceleratorpedalis applied within the two-second window. It will not activate if the vehicleisinadrivegear and facing downhill, or if the vehicle is facing uphill and in R (Reverse).

RideControlSystems

StabiliTrak® System

The vehicle has the Stabili Trak system which combines antilock brake, traction, and stability control systems and helpsthedriver maintain directional control of the vehicle in most driving conditions.

When you first start the vehicle and begin to drive away, the system performs several diagnostic checks to ensure there are no problems. The system may be heard or felt while it is working. This is normal and does not mean there is a problem with the vehicle. The system should initialize before the vehicle reaches 32km / h (20mph). In some cases, it may take approximately 3.2 km (2 mi) of driving before the system initializes.

If the system fails to turn on or activate, one of the following messages will be displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC): SERVICETRACTIONCONTROL,

Duringthetrip, checkoccasionally tobesurethattheloadissecure andthelampsandanytrailer brakesstillwork.

TowingwithaStabilityControl System

Whentowing, the sound of the stability control system might be heard. The system is reacting to the vehicle movement caused by the trailer, which mainly occurs during cornering. This is normal when towing heavier trailers.

FollowingDistance

Stayatleasttwiceasfarbehindthe vehicleaheadasyouwouldwhen drivingthevehiclewithoutatraler.

Thiscanhelptoavoidsituations thatrequireheavybrakingand suddenturns.

TowingEquipment Hitches

It is important to have the correct hitchequipment. Crosswinds, large truckgoing by and roughroads are a few reasons why there might hitchis needed.

• Therearbumperonthevehicle isnotintendedforhitches.Do notattachrentalhitchesorother bumper-typehitchestoit.Use onlyaframe-mountedhitchthat doesnotattachtothebumper.
• Willanyholesbemade in the body of the vehicle when the trailer hitch is installed? If so, then besuretoseal the holes when the hitch is removed. If the holes are not sealed, dirt, water, and deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from the exhaust may get into the vehicle. See Engine Exhauston page 9-20.

Weight-DistributingHitchesand WeightCarryingHitches

1. Body-to-GroundDistance
   2.FrontofVehicle

When using a weight-distributing hitch, the hitch must be adjusted so that the distance (1) remains the same both before and after coupling the trail alert to the tow vehicle.

TrailerBrakes

Aloaded trailer that weighs more than 450kg (1,000lbs) need to have its own brakes system that is adequate forth the weight of the trailer. Besuretoread and follow the instructions for the trailer brakes so they are installed, adjusted, and maintained properly.

Because the vehicle has an tilock brakes, don't try to tap into the vehicle's hydraulic brakes system. If you do, both brakes systems will not work well, or at all.

EngineOilLifeSystem

WhentoChangeEngineOil

This vehicle has a computer system that indicates when to change the engine oil and filter. This is based on a combination of factors which include engine revolutions, engine temperature, and miles driven. Based on driving conditions, the mileage at which an oil change is indicated can vary considerably. For the oil ifesystemtowork properly, the system must be set every time the oil is changed.

Whenthesystemhascalculated thatoillifehasbeendiminished, it indicates thatanoilchangeis necessary. ACHANGEENGINE OILSOONmessage comes on. Changetheolassoonas possible within then next 1000km (600mi). It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life system might indicate that an oil change is not necessary for up to a

The vehicle was designed and tested with top quality brake parts. When part sof the braking system are replaced, besure to get new, approved replacement parts. If this is not done, the brakes might not work properly. Forexample, installing disc brake pad that are wrong for the vehicle, can change the balance between the front and rear brakes—for the worse. The braking performance expected can change in many other ways if the wrong replacement brake parts are installed.

TirePressure

Tiresneedthecorrectamountof airpressuretooperate effectively.

Notice: Neithertire underinflation nor overinflationis good. Underinflatedtires, ortires that donothaveenoughair, can result in:

• Tireoverloading and overheating which could lead to ablowout.
  • Prematureor irregularwear.
• Poorhandling.
• Reducedfueleconomy.

Overinflatedtires, ortiresthat havetoomuchair, can resultin:

• Unusualwear.
• Poorhandling.
• Roughride.
• Needlessdamagefrom roadhazards.

The Tire and Loading Information label on the vehicle indicate the originalequipment tires and the correct cold tire inflation pressures. The recommended pressure is the minimum air pressure needed to support the vehicle's maximum loadcarrying capacity. See Vehicle Load Limit on page 9-9.

Howthevehicleisloaded affectsvehiclehandlingandride comfort.Neverloadthevehicle withmoreweightthanitwas designedtocarry.

WhentoCheck

Checkthetiresonceamonthor more. Donotforgetthecompact spare, if the vehicle has one. The cold compact spare tire pressures should be 420 kPa (60 psi). See Compact Spare Tire on page 10-64.

HowtoCheck

Useagoodqualitypocket-type gaugetochecktirepressure. Propertireinflationcannotbe determinedbylookingatthetire. Checkthetireinflationpressure whenthetiresarecold,meaning thevehiclehasnotbeendriven foratleastthreehoursorno morethan1.6km(1mi).

Iftheinflationpressureislow, addairuntiltherecommended pressureisreached.Ifthe inflationpressureishigh,press onthemetalsteminthecenter ofthetirevalvetoreleaseair.

Recheckthetirepressurewith thetiregauge.

Return the valvecaps on the valvestemstop prevent leaks and keep out dirt and moisture.

TirePressureMonitor System

The TirePressureMonitorSystem (TPMS) uses radio and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your tires and transmit tire pressurereading stoa receiver located in the vehicle.

Eachtire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressurerecommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placardortire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of different sizing thanthesize indicated on the vehicle placardor

tireinflationpressurelabel,you shoulddeterminethepropertire inflationpressureforthosetires.)

Asanadded safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoringsystem (TPMS) that illuminates alowtire pressure telltale when none or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.

Accordingly, whenthelowtire pressuretelltaleilluminates, you shouldstopandcheckyourtiresas soonaspossible, andinflatethem totheproperpressure. Drivingona significantlyunder-inflatedtire causesthetiretooverheatandcan leadtotirefailure. Under-inflation alsoreducesfuelefficiencyandtire treadlife, andmayaffectthe vehicle'shandlingandstopping ability.

PleasenotethattheTPMSisnota substituteforpropertire maintenance, anditisthedriver's responsibility to maintain incorrect tire pressure, even if under-inflation has

GM's exclusive TPCSpec system considers over a dozen critical specification that impact the overall performance of the vehicle, including brakesystem performance, ride and handling, traction control, and tire pressure monitoring performance. GM's TPCSpec number is molded onto the tire's sidewall near the tiresize. If the tires have an all-season tread design, the TPCSpec number will be followed by MS form mud and snow.

UniformTireQuality Grading

Qualitygradescanbefound whereapplicableonthetire sidewallbetweentreadshoulder andmaximumsectionwidth. For example:

Treadwear200TractionAA TemperatureA

The following information relates to the system developed by the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which gradestires by treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. This applies only to vehicle less sold in the United States. The grades are molded on the sidewall of most passenger cartires. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) system does not apply to depthread, wintertires, compact sparetires, tires with

nominalrimdiameters of 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm), ortosomelimited-production tires.

While the tires available on General Motors passengers cars and light trucks may vary with respect to these grades, they must also conform to federal safety requirements and additional General Motors Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) standards.

All Passenger Car Tires Must Conform to Federal Safety Requirements In Addition To These Grades.

Treadwear

Thetreadweargradeisa comparativeratingbasedonthe wearrateofthetirewhentested undercontrolledconditionsona specifiedgovernmenttest course.Forexample,atire

Therelative performanceoftiresdepends upontheactualconditionsof theiruse,however,andmay departsignificantlyfromthe normduetovariationsindriving habits,servicepracticesand differencesinroad characteristicsandclimate.

Traction-AA,A,B,C

Thetractiongrades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled condition on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. Atiremarked C may have poor traction performance. Warning: The traction grade assigned to histire is based on

straight-aheadbrakingtraction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peakaktraction characteristics.

Temperature-A,B,C

ThetemperaturegradesareA (thehighest), B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled condition as specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained hightemperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessiv temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger cartires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades Band Are present higher level sof
