THIS IS A MONTHLY SERVICE NEWSLETTER ARTICLE. THIS BULLETIN IS NOT INTENDED FOR PUBLICATION.

SUBJECT: INFORMATION ON ACCESSORY POWER OUTLET STAYING POWERED UP ALL THE TIME - OWNER'S MANUAL CORRECTION

MODELS: 1997 BUICK PARK AVENUE/ULTRA

THE FIRST EDITION OF THE 1997 PARK AVENUE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT THE AUXILIARY ACCESSORY POWER OUTLET (AS DESCRIBED ON PAGE 2-63 OF THE OWNERS MANUAL) WILL STAY ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES AFTER THE IGN SWITCH IS TURNED OFF AND THEN, ITSELF, GO OFF. THIS IS INCORRECT. THE POWER OUTLET STAYS POWERED ON AT ALL TIMES. THIS WAS CORRECTED IN THE SECOND PRINTING OF THE OWNER'S MANUAL.
