ignition OLDSMOBILE AURORA 2003 Repair Manual

To reset (calibrate) the system:
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Press the SELECT right arrow on the DIC until you
enter the GAGE mode. Then press the SELECT
down arrow until TIRE PRESSURE appears on the
display.
3. Press and hold the DIC RESET button for about
five seconds. After five seconds, the display will
show TIRE PRESSURE RESET. If TIRE
PRESSURE RESET does not appear on the
display after about five seconds, see your dealer for
service. After you release the DIC RESET button,
TIRE PRESSURE NORMAL will appear on the
display.
The system completes the calibration process during
driving. Calibration time can take
45 to 90 minutes,
depending on your driving habits. After the system has
been calibrated, the system will alert the driver that
a tire is low, up to a maximum speed of
65 mph
(1 05 km/h).
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 7,500 miles (1 2 500 km).
Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires
as soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also
check for damaged tires or wheels. See
When It Is Time
for New Tires on page 5-65 and Wheel Replacement
on page
5-68 for more information.
The purpose
of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first rotation
is the most important. See “Part A: Scheduled
Maintenance Services,” in Section
6, for scheduled
rotation intervals.
When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires
caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical
size and rating. If a MaxiFuse@ should blow, see your
dealer for service immediately.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have
a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one that has the
same amperage. Pick some feature of your vehicle that
you can get along without
- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
- and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can. You will find a fuse puller
clipped in both
of the fuse blocks. Snap the wide end
of the fuse puller at the side indentations and pull
the fuse out.
The MaxiFuses@ are located in two fuse blocks, one
located in the engine compartment and the other under
the rear seat. If a MaxiFuse@ should blow, have your
vehicle serviced by your dealer immediately.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
The engine compartment
fuse block is located near
the front on the
Comparfment Oiewiew on
page 5-14 for more
information on location.
Lift the cover to gain access. Fuse
22 or 23 can be
moved
to the outer position to provide continuous power
to the accessory power outlet or cigarette lighter
when the ignition is not on. See your dealer for
additional assistance,
if needed.
Leaving an accessory on for a long period of time can
drain the vehicle’s battery.
