Buick Encore: Keys and Locks / Safety Locks
The rear door safety locks prevent
passengers from opening the rear doors
from inside the vehicle.
Manual Safety Locks

If equipped, the safety lock is located on the
inside edge of the rear doors. To use the
safety lock:
- Insert the key into the safety lock slot
and turn it so the slot is in the
horizontal position.
- Close the door.
- Do the same for the other rear door.
To open a rear door when the safety lock
is on:
- Unlock the door by activating the inside
handle, by using the power door lock
switch, or by using the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter.
- Open the door from the outside.
To cancel the safety lock:
- Unlock the door and open it from the
outside.
- Insert the key into the safety lock slot
and turn it so the slot is in the vertical
position. Do the same for the other door.
If the vehicle is on or in ACC/ACCESSORY
and the power door lock switch is pressed
with the driver door open, all the doors will
lock and only the driver door will unlock...
Liftgate
Warning
Exhaust gases can enter the vehicle if it
is driven with the liftgate, hatch/trunk
open, or with any objects that pass
through the seal between the body and
the hatch/trunk or liftgate...
Other information:
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This
includes infants and all other children.
Neither the distance traveled nor the age
and size of the traveler changes the need,
for everyone, to use safety restraints. In
fact, the law in every state in the United
States and in every Canadian province says
children up to some age must be restrained
while in a vehicle...
Warning
Never leave a child, a helpless adult, or a
pet alone in a vehicle, especially with the
windows closed in warm or hot weather.
They can be overcome by the extreme
heat and suffer permanent injuries or
even death from heat stroke.
The vehicle aerodynamics are designed to
improve fuel economy performance...
