Let only qualified technicians work
on your air bag system. Improper
service can mean that your air bag
system won’t work properly. See your
dealer for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the cover for the
driver’s air bag, it may not work
properly. You may have to replace
the air bag on the steering wheel.
Do not open or break the air bag
cover.
Is the smoke from an air bag inflation
harmful?
The particles emitted during air bag
inflation are not harmful to most
people. Some people with respiratory
ailments may experience difficulty
breathing
if they stay in the vehicle with
the windows closed after air bag
inflation.
So, if your air bag inflates, you
and any passengers should exit the
vehicle
if and when it is safe to do so. If
you or your passengers can’t get out of
the vehicle, try to get fresh air by
opening a window, turning on the fan,
or opening a door.
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped
Oldsmobile
The air bag affects how your
Oldsmobile should be serviced. There
are parts of the air bag system in several
places around your vehicle.
You don’t
want the system to inflate while
someone is working on your vehicle.
Your Oldsmobile dealer and the
1994
Cutlass Supreme Service Manual have
information about servicing your
vehicle and the air bag system. The air
bag system does not need regular
maintenance.

Rear Seat Passengers
(2-DOOR OLDSMOBILES)
It’s very important for rear seat
passengers to buckle up! Accident
statistics show that unbelted people in
the rear seat are hurt more often in
crashes than those who are wearing
safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety
belted can be thrown out
of the vehicle
in a crash. And they can strike others in
the vehicle who are wearing safety belts. Rear Seat Outside Passenger

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.

horn symbols on your steering wheel.
Tilt Steering Wheel

adjust.the steering wheel before you

to give your legs more room when you
exit and enter the vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering
wheel and pull the lever. Move the
.
steering wheel to a comfortable level,
then release the lever to lock the wheel
in place.

the window crank to open .and close

iescribed later in this section.

loor. Press any function button to turn
.he system on.

Press
LO to lower the fan speed, HI to
raise it.
Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows
long enough to let hot inside air escape.
This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down, which should help
fuel economy.
There are three
air conditioning settings:
MAX: Provides maximum cooling or
quick cool-down on very hot days. This
setting also helps prevent outside odors
from entering your vehicle.
This setting recirculates much of the air
inside your vehicle, and it should not be
used for long periods because the air
may become too cold and dry. This
setting is not recommended if an
occupant is smoking.
NORM: Use for normal cooling on hot
days. This setting brings in outside air, cools
it and directs it through the
instrument panel outlets.
BI-LEV (Bi-Level): Use on cool, but
sunny days. This setting brings in
outside air, but directs it in two ways.
The cool air is directed to the upper
portion of your body through the
instrument panel outlets, but most
warmed air is directed through the
heater ducts and a little to the defrost
and side window vents. At times this
temperature difference may be more
apparent than others.
Heating and Ventilation
When you don’t need to cool the
outside air, use these next settings. You
can leave the air as it is or heat it.
The air conditioner compressor doesn’t
run in these settings. This reduces the
engine load, resulting in improved fuel
economy (gas mileage).
VENT: For mild outside temperatures,
when little heating or cooling is needed,
push
VENT. Air flow is through the
instrument panel outlets. Slide the
temperature control lever to a
comfortable level.
