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.
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 trunk or glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
PASS-Key@ll
Your vehicle is equipped with the
PASS-ICey@II (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft
deterrent system. PASS-ICey@II is a
passive theft deterrent system. This
means you don’t have to do anything
different to arm or disarm the system. It
worlts when you insert or remove the
ltey from the ignition. PASS-I uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Keys11 system senses
that someone is using the wrong ltey, it
shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel
systems. For about three minutes, the
starter won’t work and fuel won’t go to
the engine. If someone tries to start
your vehicle again or uses another key
during this time, the vehicle will not
start. This discourages someone
from
randomly trying different keys with
different resistor pellets in an attempt to
make
a match. The
ignition key must be clean and dry
before it’s inserted in the ignition
or the
engine may not start. If the engine does
not start and the
SECURITY light is
on, the key may be dirty or wet. Turn
the ignition
off.
Clean and dry the ltey. Wait about three
minutes and try again. The security
light may remain on during this time. If
the starter still won’t work, and the ltey
appears to be clean and dry, wait about
three minutes and try the other ignition
ltey. At this time, you may also want to
check the fuses (see
Fuses G Circuit
Breakers
in the Index). If the starter
won’t work with the other ltey, your
vehicle needs service. If your vehicle
does start, the first ignition key may be
faulty. See your Oldsmobile dealer
or a
locksmith who can service the PASS-
I If you accidentally use a ltey that has a
damaged or missing resistor pellet, the
starter won’t work, and the
SECURITY light will come on. But you
don’t have to wait three minutes before
trying one
of the other ignition keys.

' Your Driving and the Road
and transaxle, and you can climb the
hill better.
Stay in your own lane when driving
on two-lane roads in hills or
mountains. Don't swing wide or cut
across the center
of the road. Drive at
speeds that let you stay in your
own
lane.
As you go over the top of a hill, be
alert. There could be something in
your lane, like a stalled car or an
accident.
You may see highway signs on
mountains that warn of special
problems. Examples are long grades,
passing
or no-passing zones, a falling
rocks area, or winding roads. Be alert
to these and take appropriate action.
I Winter Driving
Here are some tips for winter driving:
Have your Oldsmobile in good shape
for winter. Be sure your engine
coolant mix- is correct.
You may want to put winter
emergency supplies in your trunk.
Include an ice scraper, a small brush or
broom, a supply
of windshield washer
fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing,
a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth,
and a couple
of reflective warning
triangles. And,
if you will be driving
under severe conditions, include a
small
bag of sand, a piece of old carpet or a
couple
of burlap bags to help provide
traction. Be sure
you properly secure
these items in your vehicle.

Your Driving and the Road

Safety Chains
You should always attach chains
between your vehicle and your trailer.
Cross the safety chains under the
tongue of the trailer
so that the tongue
will not drop to the road if it becomes
separated from the hitch. Instructions
about safety chains may be provided by
the hitch manufacturer or by the trailer
manufacturer. Follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation for
attaching safety chains. Always leave
just enough slack
so you can turn with
your rig. And, never allow safety chains
to drag
on the ground.
Trailer Brakes
Because you have anti-lock brakes,
don’t try to tap into your vehicle’s brake
system at all.
If you do, both brake
systems won’t work well or
at all.
Driving with a Trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you’ll want to get
to laow your rig. Acquaint yourself with
the feel
of handling and braking
with the added weight of the trailer.
And always keep in mind that the
vehicle you are driving is now a good
deal longer and not nearly
so responsive
as your vehicle is by itself.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch
and platform, safety chains, electrical
connector, lights, tires and mirror
adjustment.
If the trailer has electric
brakes, start your vehicle and trailer
moving and then apply the trailer brake
controller by hand to be sure the brakes
are working. This lets you check your
electrical connection at the same time.
During your trip, check occasionally to
be sure that the load is secure, and that
the lights and any trailer brakes are still
working.
Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the
vehicle ahead as you would when
driving your vehicle without a trailer.
This can help you avoid situations that
require heavy braking and sudden
turns.
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance up
ahead when you’re towing a trailer.
And, because you’re a good deal longer,
you’ll need to go much farther beyond
the passed vehicle before you can return
to your lane.
Backing Up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel
with one hand. Then, to move the
trailer to the left, just move that hand to
the left. To move the trailer to the right,
move your hand
to the right. Always
back up slowly and,
if possible, have
someone guide you.
Making Turns
When you’re turning with a trailer,
make wider turns than normal. Do this
so your trailer won’t strike soft
shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees, or
other objects. Avoid jerky or sudden
maneuvers. Signal well in advance.

3. Remove the wing nut securing the
compact spare tire and spacer by
turning it countercloclwise. Then lift
off the spacer and remove the spare
tire.
4. Remove the bolt securing the jack
and wrench by turning
it
countercloclwise. Then remove the
jack and wrench.
5. If there is a wheel cover, remove it by
using the wedge end
of the wrench to
pry gently in
a notch at the edge.of
the center cap.
Do not use a tool that
is narrower, such as a screwdriver, to
pry in this notch.
You may damage
the wheel cover or the center cap.
You may also have plastic nut caps.
Loosen the plastic nut caps with the
wheel wrench. They won’t come
off.
Then pry along the edge of the wheel
cover until it comes
off.

NOTICE:
If you use an improper coolant mix,
your engine could overheat and be
badly damaged. The repair cost
wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty.
Too much water in the
mix can freeze and crack the
engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
Adding Coolant
To Check Coolant
When your engine is cold, the coolant
level should be at the
COLD mark or a
little higher. When your engine is warm,
the level should be up to the
HOT mark
or a little higher.
