Theft
Vehicle
theft is big business, especially
in some cities. Although your
I Oldsmobile has a number of theft
deterrent features, we know that
nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal. However, there are
ways you can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with
the keys inside, it’s an easy target for
joy riders
or professional thieves - so
don’t do it.
When
you park your Oldsmobile and
open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
tone reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you.
Always do this. Your steering wheel
will be locked, and
so will your ignition
and transmission. And remember to
lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows
and lock your vehicle. Remember to
keep your valuables out of sight. Put
them in a storage area, or take them
with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will
be watching your vehicle, it’s best to
lock it up and take your keys. But what
if you have to leave your ignition key?
What
if you have to leave something
valuable
in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area,
like your glove box.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
Tailgate Lock
From the outside, use the round key to
open the tailgate. With the key in the
lock, turn the lock handle to the left to
unlock the window.
Raise the window, then turn the lock
handle to the right to unlock the
tailgate.

Here’s How to Move the Arm:
1. Squeeze the release handle to free the
carrier arm.
2. Swing the carrier arm away from the
tailgate. You may need to give it a
slight tug.
To latch the carrier arm, swing it hard
toward the tailgate. The latch has one
catch,
so push hard on the carrier arm
to make sure it has locked in place. If it
is not securely latched, the carrier will
swing freely.
Glove Box
Use the door key to lock and unlock the
glove box. To open, pinch the latch
release.
New Vehicle “BreakmIn”
NOTICE:
Your modern Oldsmobile doesn’t
need an elaborate “break-in.” But it
will perform better in the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
Keep your speed at 55 mph (88
ltm/h) or less for the first 500
miles (804 ltm) .
Don’t drive at any one speed -
fast or slow - for the first 500
miles (804 ltm) . Don’t make full-
throttle starts.
Avoid malting hard stops for the
first
200 miles (322 lun) or so.
During this time your new brake
linings aren’t yet broken in. Hard
stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this
“breaking-in” guideline every
time you get new brake linings.

There are also two storage
compartments with latching lids. Press
the latch and lift the cover to open these.
The smaller compartment has a
molded rack for cassette tapes and
compact discs. The larger
one has a
removable tray. There are two cup
holders inside the
glove
box door. Note that the glove box
light will remain on while the door is
open. You will
find a storage compartment on
each of the front doors. The driver’s
door pocket contains a coin holder.
A narrow storage shelf runs along the
bottom
of the instrument panel. It’s
handy for items such as gloves or small
books.
