Seats and Seat Controls
This section
tells you about the seats-
how to adjust them-and
also about
reclining seatbaclts and head restraints.
Manual Front Seat
To adjust the seat forward or back, lift
the handle. After it’s adjusted, release
the handle and
try to move the seat to
be certain it has locked into place.
Manual Four-Way Seat Adjuster
(OPTION)
To tilt the whole seat forward or
backward, squeeze the lever. Position
the seat where
you would like it, then
release the lever.

Reclining Front Seatback
Lift the lever to release the seatback,
then tilt the seatback forward or
backward, as desired. Release
the lever
to lock the seatback in place.
But don't have a seatback reclined
if
your vehicle is moving.

14
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so
that the top of the restraint is closest to
the top of your ears.
This position reduces the chance
of a
neck injury in a crash.
Seatback Latches
In 2-door Oldsmobiles, the front seat
folds forward to let people get into the
back seat.
Your seatback will move back and forth
freely,
unless you come to a sudden
stop. Then it will lock in place.
There’s one time the seatback may not
fold without some help
from you. That’s
if your vehicle is parked facing down a
fairly steep hill.
To fold a seatback forward, push
the
seatback toward the rear as you lift this
latch. Then the seatback will fold
forward. Thelatch must be down for
the seat to work properly.

You never know if you’ll be in a crash.
If you do have
a crash, you don’t lmow
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some
crashes can
be so serious that even
bucklkd up a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes are in between. In
many of them, people who buckle up
can survive and- sometimes walk away.
Without belts they could have been
badly hurt or lulled.
After more than
25 years of safety belts
in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling up does matter
... a lot!
Why Safety Belts, Work
When you ride in or on anything, you
go as fast
as it goes.
1. For example, if the bike is going 10
mph (16 km/h), so is the child.
2. When the bike hits the block, it
stops. But the child keeps going!

Automatic Lap-Shoukkr Belt
This safety Belt is called “automatic”
because
you don’t have to buckle up
when you get into.your vehicle. And
yuu don’t have to ubuclde when
you get out.
Just get into your vehicle. ‘Then close
and lock the
door. Adjust the seat (to
see
how, see Seat Controls in the
Index) so you can sit up straight.

ioor all
the way, then slowly open it. If

that doesn’t fix it, then your Oldsmobile
needs service.
We hope you’ll always keep your
automatic belt buckled. However, you
may need to unbuckle it in an
emergency. And
you would need to
unbuckle it to let someone get into the
center front seat position,
if your
vehicle
has one.
To unbuckle the automatic b.elt, just
push the button on the buckle. To reattach the automatic belt:
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see Seat
Controls in the Index) so you can sit

If the belt stops before it reaches the
buckle, tilt the latch plate and keep
pulling until you can buckle it.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure
it is secure.
If the belt is not long enough, see
Safety
Belt Extender at the end of this section.
Make sure the release button on the
buckle is positioned
so you would be
able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly
if you ever had to.
3. To make the lap part tight, pull down
on the buckle end of the belt as you
pull up
on the shoulder part. The lap part
of the belt should be worn
low and snug on the hips, just touching
the thighs. In a crash, this applies force
to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be
less likely to slide under the lap belt. If
you slid under it, the belt would apply
force at your abdomen. This could
cause serious or even fatal injuries. The
shoulder belt should go over the
shoulder and across the chest. These
parts of the body are best able to take
belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden
stop or a crash.
