Where to Put the-Restraint
accident statistics show that children are safer if they
in the rear rather than the front seat. We at
Motors therefore recommend that you put your
child restraint in the rear seat. Never-put a rear-facing
child restraint in'the front passenger seat. Here's why:

Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child
restraint properly.

iri mind that .in unsecured child Festraint can move

the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint in your vehicle
-- even when no child is in it.

retractor while you push down on the child restraint. 7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.

or larger child passenger.

You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part 1,
about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
1. Because your vehicle has a right fibnt passenger air
bag, always move the seat as far back asit will go
before securing a forward-facing child restraint. (See
“Seats” in the Index.)
2. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
3. Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
If the^ shoulder belt goes in front of the child’s face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.

PASS-Key@II
r
J
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key’II (Personalized Automotive
Security System) -theft
deterrent system.
PASS-Key’II is a passive
theft deterrent system. This
means you don’t have to
do anything different to
arm or disarm the system.
It works when you insert or remove the key from the
ignition. PASS-Key’II uses a resistor pellet in the
ignition key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key@II system senses that someone
is
using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter an\
d
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 dr 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 key. 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 key appears
to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes and try
another ignition key. At this time, you may also want to
check the fuses (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the\

Index). If the starter won’t work with the other key, your
q vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start, the first
ignition key may be faulty. See your Oldsmobile retailer
or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key’II.
If you accidentally use a key 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 another ignition key.
See your Oldsmobile retailer or a locksmith who can
service the PASS-Key@II
to have a new key made.
If you’re ever driving and the SECURITY light comes
on, you will be able to restart your engine if you turn it
off. Your PASS-Key’II system, however, is not
working properly and must be serviced by your
Oldsmobile retailer. Your vehicle is not protected by the
PASS-Key@II system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key@II ignition key, see
your Oldsmobile retailer or a, locksmith who can service
PASS-Key@II to have a new key made.

This light will come on
when you
turn the key to
start and stay on until the
vehicle starts.
It will also
come on and stay on if your
key is too dirty or wet for
the PASS-Key% system to
read the resistor pellet.
,
If the light stays on,, stop the vehicle on a level surface
and turn the engine
off. Check the oil level using the
engine oil dipstick. (See “Engine Oil” in the Index.) If
thti light does not flash, have
the low oil level sensor
system repaired
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s
a problem.
The
oil level monitoring system only checks oil level
during the brief period between key on and engine
crank. It does not monitor engine oil level when the
engine is running. Additionally,
an oil level check.is
only performed if the engine has been turned
off for- a
considerable period
of time, allowing the oil normally in
circulation to drkn back into the oil pan.
If the resistor pellet is damaged or missing, the light will
flash.
If you’re driving and the security light comes on
and remains on, your PASS-Key’II system is not
working pro erly. Your vehicle is not protected by
