OnStar®
At Buick, your driving safety is one of our first concerns. That's why
Regal's OnStar* provides you with an unparalleled level of safety, security,
and 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 Regal's location.
*One-year OnStar Safety and Security Service Agreement standard on
the 2001 Regal. For more information, call 1-800-OnStar-7.
Front Air Bags**
- Front driver and front passenger air bags are standard on Buick Regal. Each time you
start your vehicle, a self-check system with an indicator light alerts you that the
system is working.
Seat-Mounted Side-Impact Air Bag**
- In addition to dual front air bags, Regal has, as available, the added safety of driver
side-impact airbag to protect against certain injuries in the event of a moderate or severe side impact.
(Standard on Regal GS, available on Regal LS.)
Upper Rear Child Seat Anchors**
- By fastening the rear tether or belt on a child seat to 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.
Safety Belt Cinch Capability for Child Seats**
The safety belt cinch capability allows the shoulder and lap safety belts to be cinched in
order to attach a child restraint seat safely in the rear seat.
Adjustable Shoulder Belts**
- To make shoulder belts more comfortable for users of all sizes, the Regal features
adjustable front safety belt shoulder guide loops.
**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.
Programmable Door Locks
- One of our Personal Choice Programmable Features designed to enhance Regal's driver and

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, Regal 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

enables the driver to prevent front and rear passengers from opening and closing the
Regal's windows. This feature is ideal for drivers who want to keep focused on the
road while traveling with children..

shifting of the car into gear. To shift the Regal out of "Park," the driver must press
the brake pedal.
Steering Wheel Controls
- Available steering wheel controls enable Regal drivers make adjustments to the radio

moisture from the glass.
Front Side Window Defogger
- Front side window defoggers help keep the side windows clear, improving vision to the
side and outside rearview mirrors.

compartment without getting out of the passenger compartment.

Tinted Glass Windshield
Solar-Ray® solar-controlled glass in all Regal windshields and rear windows system helps to reduce the
transmission of both infrared and ultraviolet rays thereby giving drivers and passengers
reduced glare.
Steel Cage Construction
To contribute to occupant safety, a steel safety cage structure helps preserve the
integrity of the passenger compartment in a collision. Crumple zones in the front and
rear control crush on impact, absorbing the energy of the crash while the steel cage
construction remains rigid thereby helping to protect occupants inside the passenger
compartment.
