To Play A Cassette
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer than
that are so thin they may not work well in this player.
To play a cassette tape:
Have the radio on.
Insert the tape squarely through the tape door.
The side
with the tape visible goes in first. If you hear
nothing or hear just garbled sound, the tape may not be
inserted properly.

U
Ignition Switch
With the ignition key in the ignition
switch, you can turn the switch to five
positions:
Accessory: An “on7’ position in which
you can operate your electrical power
xcessories. Press in the ignition switch
2s you turn the top of it toward you.
Lock: The only position in which you
:an remove the key. This locks your
steering wheel, ignition and
transmission.
Off: Unlocks the steering wheel,
ignition, and transmission, but does not
send electrical power to any accessories.
Use this position if your vehicle must be
pushed or towed, but never try to push-
start your vehicle. A warning chime will
sound if you open the driver’s door
when the ignition is off and the key is in
the ignition.
Run: An “on” position to which the
switch returns after you start your
engine and release the switch. The
switch stays in the
Run position when
the engine is running. But even when
the engine
is not running, you can use
Run to operate your electrical power
accessories, and to display some
instrument panel warning lights.
Start: Starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The
ignition switch will return to
Run for
normal driving.
Note that even if the engine is not
running, the positions
Accessory and
Run are “on” positions that allow you
to operate your electrical accessories,
such as the radio.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in Lock
and you can’t turn it, be sure it is
all the way in.
If it is, then turn the
steering wheel left and right while
you turn the key hard. But turn the
key only with your hand. Using a
tool to force it could break the key
or the ignition switch. If none of
this works, then your vehicle needs
service.
Starting Your Engine
Move your shift lever to P (Park) or
N (Neutral). Your engine won’t start in
any other position
- that’s a safety
feature. To restart when you’re already
moving, use
N (Neutral) only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to P (Park) if your
Oldsmobile is moving. If you do,
you could damage the transmission.
Shift to
P (Park) only when your
vehicle is stopped.

on the display.
To correct the problem,
drive in a complete
360" circle three
times, and the compass will function
normally.
