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.

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your

two years.
You can tell the batteries
are weak if the

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

you if there is a problem.
If the light stays on or comes on when
you’re driving, stop as soon as possible
and turn the key
off. Then start the

that some movement is not allowed.
Examples are
