OnStar®

OnStar* provides you with an unparalleled level of safety, security, and driver assistance information. At the touch of a button, an OnStar Advisor is available to contact emergency service providers and roadside assistance. In the event of a collision in which your airbags deploy, the OnStar system will automatically contact the OnStar Center where trained Advisors will immediately contact emergency assistance, if needed, and provide them with your LeSabre's location. In addition, LeSabre's optional OnStar Premium Package is always there to provide additional services.

*One-year OnStar Safety and Security Service Agreement standard on LeSabre Custom and Special Edition Packages. For more information, call 1-800-ONSTAR-7.
 

EyeCue® Head-Up Windshield Display

The available EyeCue® Head-Up Display provides a range of important information to the driver, such as current speed, turn signal, high beam status, and check-guages warning indicators, without ever having to look away from the road. This feature is included in the available Driver Confidence Package.
 

Catcher's Mitt Seats**

Dual Stage Front Air Bags***

Front driver and front right passenger air bags are standard on Buick LeSabre. Each time you start your LeSabre, a self-check system with an indicator light alerts you that the system is working. In addition, Dual Stage airbag deployment is tailored for the severity of the crash.
 

Seat-Mounted Side-Impact Air Bag***

To protect against certain injuries in the event of a side impact, LeSabre has the added safety of standard driver and front right passenger side-impact airbags.
 

Upper Child Seat Anchor***

By fastening the rear tether (or belt) on a child seat on the upper anchor located behind the rear seats, this new feature allows a child seat to be securely attached to the body of the car.

***A NOTE ON CHILD SAFETY: Always use safety belts and proper child restraints even with airbags. Children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active airbag. See your vehicle Owner's Manual and child safety seat instructions for more information.
 

Steering Wheel Controls

Available steering wheel controls enable LeSabre drivers to make adjustments to the radio while still keeping their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road. Limited's available steering wheel controls feature both radio and temperature adjustment controls.
 

Rain-Sensing Delay Wipers

LeSabre's available rain-sensing delay wipers automatically activate (when set in delay mode) when moisture collects on the windshield. Cued by an internal sensor, the wipers use the amount of moisture on the windshield and the speed of the vehicle to determine their rate of operation, thus eliminating the need to constantly change delay settings due to intermittent rain, and, as a result giving LeSabre drivers one less reason to take their hands off the wheel.
 

Tinted Glass

Solar-Ray® solar-controlled glass in all LeSabre windshields, rear windows and side glass helps reduce the transmission of both infrared and ultraviolet rays thereby giving LeSabre drivers and passengers reduced glare.
 

Rear Window Defogger

LeSabre's rear window defogger improves vision through the rear window by using a heating element to remove condensed moisture from the glass.
 

Front Side Window Defogger

LeSabre's front side window defoggers help keep the side windows clear, improving vision to the side and outside rearview mirrors.
 

Remote Trunk Release

For enhanced convenience and safety, LeSabre's interior trunk release enables you to open the trunk without leaving the passenger compartment. In addition, the valet lockout on the remote trunk release helps ensure the security of your valuables.
 

Remote Hood Release

For added convenience and safety, LeSabre's remote hood release enables you unlock the hood for access to the engine compartment without getting out of the passenger compartment.
 

PASS-Key III Passive Theft-Deterrent System

With this system, any attempt to start your LeSabre without the correct coded key is denied by software programmed into the engine's Powertrain Control Module.
 

Programmable Door Locks

One of our Personal Choice Programmable Features designed to enhance driver and passenger security, memory door locks enable LeSabre owners to program the automatic door lock system in four different modes. Memory Door Locks can be set to perform a variety of tasks-including automatically locking all doors when the driver shifts the vehicle out of PARK.
 

Child Security Door Locks

To prevent children from accidentally opening the vehicle's doors from inside, LeSabre enables you to engage the lock-out feature from the inside of the rear door, then doors can only be opened from the outside.
 

Power Window Lockout

Another of Lesabre's security features, the power window lockout enables the driver to prevent front and rear passengers from opening and closing the LeSabre's windows. This feature is ideal for drivers who want to keep focused on the road while traveling with children.
 

Steel Door Beams

LeSabre's steel door beam help provide additional strength and are engineered to help prevent intrusion in the event of a shallow-angle side impact collision.
