If you need to reduce your speed as you approach a
curve, do it before you enter the curve, while your front
wheels are straight ahead.
Try
to adjust your speed so you can “drive” through the
curve. Maintain
a reasonable, steady speed. Wait to
accelerate
until you are out of the curve, and then
accelerate gently into the straightaway.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision.
If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions, you can
turn it a full
180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But
YOLI have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once you
have
avoided the object.
Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective
than braking. For example,
you come over a hill and
find a truck stopped in your lane, or
a car suddenly pulls
out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right in front of
you. You can
avoid these problems by braking
-- if you can stop in
time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room. That’s
the time for evasive action
-- steering around the
problem.
Your Oldsmobile can perform very well in emergencies
like these. First apply your brakes. It
is better to remove
as much speed as you can from a possible collision.
Then steer around the problem, to the left or right
depending on
the space available. The fact
that such emergency situations are always
possible
is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.

The following steps will tell you how to use the jack and
change a tire.
The equipment you’ll need is in the trunk.
1. Turn the center retainer nut on the compact spare tire
housing counterclockwise to remove it, then lift the
tire cover.
You will find the jacking instructions label
on the underside of the tire cover.
2. Remove the wing bolt securing the compact spare
tire and spacer by turning it counterclockwise. Then
lift
off the spacer and remove the spare tire.
3. The jack and wheel wrench are stored in a foam tray
by the compact spare tire.
4. Using the wheel wrench, remove the wheel nut caps
(if your vehicle has them) and loosen all the wheel
nuts. Don’t remove them yet. On some models, a
cover plate must be removed to find the wheel nuts.
Carefully use the wedge end of the wheel wrench to
pry it
off.

7.
8.
Raise the vehicle by rotating the jack handle
clockwise. Raise the vehicle
far enough off the
ground
so there is enough room for the spare tire to
fit.
Remove all the wheel nuts, and carefully pry the
wheel cover from the wheel, if your flat tire has one.
Then take
off the flat tire.
9. Kernove any rust or dirt from the wheel bolts,
mounting surfaces and spare wheel. Place the spare
on the wheel mounting surface.

10. Replace the wheel nuts
with the rounded end
of
the nuts toward the
wheel. Tighten each nut
by hand until the wheel
is held against the hub. 11.
Lower the vehicle
by rotating the jack handle
counterclockwise. Lower the jack completely.
