Should interference to this system
occur,

Check to determine if battery
replacement is necessary. See the
instructions on battery replacement
later in this section.
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.

qualified technician for service.
Changes or modifications to this system

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your
ley 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. If your transmitter has a screw,
remove the screw
from the back
cover. If it doesn’t have a screw, pop
the cover
off by inserting a dime (or
similar object) in the slot between the
covers and twisting.

transmitter, press any button on it,
once, also. Wait for the locks to fully

encoder connector and the ground.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially
in some cities.
Although your Oldsmobile has a number
of theft-deterrent features, we lmow
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
transaxle. And remember to lock the
doors.

Remote Trunk Release (OPTION)
Press the yellow trunk release button
located under the instrument panel on
the driver’s side.
Your automatic transaxle must be in
P (Park).
Remember that your trunk can be
opened at
any time using the lock
release. Be sure to lock your doors.
Convenience Net (OPTION)
Your vehicle may have a convenience
net. You’ll see it just inside the back
wall
of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags,
behind the net. It can help keep them
from falling over during sharp turns
or
quick stafts and stops.
The net isn’t for larger, heavier loads.
Store them in the trunk as far forward
as you can.
You can unhook the net so that it will
lie flat when you’re not using it.
4-Door Models:
To allow easier access to the trunk area
when the convenience net is not being
used, push the net down and hook it
under the retaining screws
as shown.

Engine Block Heater (CONTJ
How long should you keep the block
heater plugged in? The answer depends
on the weather, the kind
of oil you
have, and some other things. Instead of
trying to list everything here, we ask
that you contact an Oldsmobile dealer
in the area where you’ll be parking your
vehicle. The dealer can give you the best
advice for that particular area.
Shifting the Automatic
Transaxle
Your automatic transaxle may have a
shift lever located on the steering
column or on the console between the
seats. Both are shown above.
