Seats and Seat Controls
This section
tells you about the seats-
how to adjust them-and also about
reclining seatbacks and head restraints.
Manual Front Seat
CAUTION
1 A You can lose control of the
.- vehicle if you try to adjust a
manual driver’s seat while the
vehicle is moving. The sudden
movement could startle and
confuse
you, or malte you push a
pedal when
you don’t want to.
Adjust the driver’s seat
o r when
the vehicle
is not moving.
To adjust the seat forward or back, lift
the handle. After it’s adjusted, release
the handle and try to move the seat to
be certain it has locked into place.

Seats & Safety Belts
Seatback Latches
In 2-door Oldsmobiles, the front seat
folds forward
to let people get into the
back seat.
Your seatback will move back and forth
freely, unless you come to a sudden
stop. Then it
will lock in place.
There’s one time the seatback may not
fold without some help from you. That’s
if your vehicle is parked facing down a
fairly steep hill.
To fold a seatback forward, push the
seatback toward the rear as you lift this
latch. Then the seatback will fold
forward. The latch must be
down for
the seat to work properly.
Split Fold-Down Rearmseat ’ ,”
(OPTION)
To Open: Pull forward on the seat tab.
To Close: Push the seatback up to its
original position.
Check latch resistance regularly by
pulling on the seat tab. If the seatback
does not latch securely, have it repaired
right away.
A loose seatback can cause
an injury in a sudden stop.
I Safety Belts:
Ziky!re For Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to
use safety belts properly. It
also tells
you some things you should not do
with
safety belts.
CAUTION
Don’t let anyone ride where
they can’t wear a safety belt
properly.
If you are in a crash and
you’re not wearing
a safety belt,
your injuries can be
much worse.
You can hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected
from it. You
can be seriously injured
or killed. In
the same crash, you might not be if
you are buckled up. Always fasten
your safety belt, and check that
your passengers’ belts are fastened
properly too.

Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you
go as fast as it goes.
1. For example, if the bike is going 10
mph (16 km/h), so is the child.
2. When the bike hits the block, it
stops. But the child keeps going! 3. Take the simplest “car.” Suppose
it’s just a seat on wheels.

The lap belt should be worn as low on
the hips as possible. In a crash, this
applies force to the strong pelvic bones.
And you’d be less likely to slide under
the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force at your abdomen.
This could cause serious or even fatal
injuries. The shoulder belt should go
over the shoulder and across the chest.
These parts of the body are best able to
take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden
stop or a crash. It’s
possible that an automatic belt
could keep you from fully opening a
door. That can happen
if the door was
slammed shut very hard. Just close the
door
all the way, then slowly open it. If
that doesn’t fix it, then your Oldsmobile
needs service.
We hope you will always keep your
automatic belt buclded. However, you
may need to unbuckle it
in an
emergency.
And you would need to unbuckle it to
let someone
get into the center front
seat position, if your vehicle has one.
To Unbuckle the Automatic Belt:
Just push the button on the buckle.

To Reattach the Automatic Belt:
1. Close and lock the door.

place.
CAUTION
You can be seriously injured
if your belt is buckled in the
wrong place like this. In a crash,
the belt would go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be
there, not at the pelvic bones. This
could cause serious internal
injuries. Always buckle your belt
into the buckle nearest you.

Door Locks
GAU I IVN
Unlocked doors can be
dangerous.
Passengers-especially children-
can easily open the doors and fall
out. When a door is locked, the
inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through
an unlocked door when you slow
down
or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You
increase the chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a crash
if the doors aren’t locked. Wear
safety belts properly, lock your
doors, and you will be far better off
whenever you drive your vehicle. There are
several ways to lock and
unlock your vehicle.
From the Outside:
Use your door ley or Remote Lock
Control, if your vehicle has this option.
From the Inside:
To lock the door, push down the
locking lever. To unlock, push the lever

Power Door Locks
You can lock or unlock all doors of your
vehicle from the driver or passenger
door lock switch.
On 4-dOOr models, 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 loclts from inside, then
get out and close the door.
Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the
ignition. All of the doors will lock when
you move your shift lever out of
P (Park)
or
N (Neutral). Each time you close your
doors and turn on the ignition, the doors
will lock automatically only once. If
someone needs to get out while the
vehicle is running, have that person use
the manual or power lock. When the do01
is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Just use the manual
or
power lock to lock the door again.

Should interference to this system
occur,
try this:
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.
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.
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.
