To get your 2002 Buick Park Avenue out of theft mode, you can try the following steps:

Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position.

Wait for the security light to turn off. This may take up to 30 seconds.

Start the car.

If the security light does not turn off, you can try the following:

Press and hold the unlock button on the key fob for 10 seconds.

Turn the ignition to the ON position and wait for the security light to turn off.

Start the car.

If the security light still does not turn off, you may need to have the anti-theft system reset by a qualified mechanic.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

Make sure that you are using the correct key to start the car.

The security light may not turn off if the battery in the key fob is low.

If the anti-theft system has been triggered, it may take several minutes for it to reset.

If you are still having trouble getting your car out of theft mode, you should consult your car's owner's manual or contact a qualified mechanic.

Here are some other things you can do to prevent your car from going into theft mode:

Always use the correct key to start the car.

Do not leave your keys in the car when you are not around.

If you are going to be away from your car for an extended period of time, remove the battery from the key fob.

Have the anti-theft system checked regularly by a qualified mechanic.
