NOTICE:
Your Oldsmobile has a number of
new features that can help prevent
theft. But you can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if
you ever lock your keys inside. You
may even have to damage your
vehicle
to get in. So be sure you
have extra keys.
Door Locks
I'here are several ways to lock and
unlock your vehicle.
From the Outside:
Use your door key or Remote Lock
Control.

From the Inside:
To lock the door, push the manual
locking lever forward. To unlock the
door, push the lever back.
The rear doors have only a manual door
lock lever.

Power Door Locks
You can lock or unlock all doors at the
same time from either front door. Push
the switch forward to lock the doors.
Push it rearward to unlock them. This
switch does not keep you from locking
or unlocking a door with the key.
The switch on each rear door works
only that door’s lock. It won’t lock (or
unlock) all of the doors-that’s a safety
feature.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from the inside.
Then get out and close the door.
I
I Remote Lock Control
You can lock and unlock your doors, or
mloclc your tailgate glass, from about
50 feet (9 m) away using the key chain
:ransmitter supplied with your vehicle.
four remote lock control operates on a
radio frequency subject to Federal
Zommunications Commission
(FCC)
Rules.
rhis device complies with Part
15 of the
XC Rules. Operation is subject to the
’olIowing two conditions:
(1) This
levice may not cause harmful
.nterference, and
(2) This device must
iccept any interference received,
ncluding interference that may cause
Indesired operation.

Should interference to this system
occur, try this:
Check to determine if battery
replacement is necessary. See the
instructions on battery replacement.
Check the distance. You may be too
far from your vehicle. This product
has a maximum range.
Check the location. Other vehicles or
objects may be blocking the signal.
See your Oldsmobile dealer or a
qualified technician for service.
Changes or modifications to this system
by other than an authorized service
facility could void authorization to use
this equipment.
Operation
When you press UNLOCK, the driver’s
door will unlock automatically. If you
press
UNLOCK again within five
seconds, all doors will unlock. All doors
will lock when
DOOR is pressed.
The tailgate glass will unlock when
0 is pressed, but only when the
transmission is in
P (Park).
Matching rransmitfer(sj To Your
Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter
is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer.
Remember to bring the remaining
transmitters with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, the remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once the new
transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many
different vehicles as you own, provided
they are equipped with
exactly the
same model system.
(General Motors
offers several different models of these
systems on their vehicles.) Each vehicle
can have only two transmitters matched
to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to
another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your
key chain transmitter should last about
two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the
transmitter won’t work at the normal
range in any location.
If you have to get
close to your vehicle before the
transmitter works, it’s probably time to
change the batteries.
To Replace Batteries in the Remote
Lock Control:
1. Pop the cover off by inserting a dime
(or something similar) in the groove
between the covers and twisting.
