R Section 1 Seats and Restraint Systems
Here you’ll find information about the seats in your
Oldsmobile and how to use your safety belts properly.
You can also learn about some things you should
not do
with air bags and safety belts.
Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you how to adjust the seats and explains
reclining seatbacks, folding rear seats and head restraints.
Manual Front Seat
CAUTION:
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 make you push a pedal when you
don’t want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when
the vehicle is not moving. Lift the bar under the front of the seat to unlock it. Slide
the seat
to where you want it and release the bar. Try to
move the seat with your body to be sure the seat is
locked in place.

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
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). All doors will unlock
automatically when the ignition is turned
off.
If someone needs to get out while the vehicle is
running, have that person use the manual or power lock.
When the door is closed again, it will lock automatically
as long as the shift lever is out of PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N) and the ignition is on. Note that the
door must be opened, then closed,
or the door will not
automatically relock.
If you don’t want the doors to unlock automatically
when you
turn the ignition off, you can remove the Lock
Control fuse in the instrument panel fuse block. See
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then get out and
close the door.
Remote Lock Control (Option)
If your Oldsmobile has this option, you can lock and
unlock your doors or unlock your’trunk from up to
30 feet (9 m) away using the key chain transmitter
supplied with your vehicle.
Your Remote Lock Control transmitter operates on a
radio frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This deVice may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,

PASS-Key I1 uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key I1 system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, 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 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
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 11.
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
I1 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 I1 system, however, is
not working properly and must be serviced by your
Oldsmobile retailer. Your vehicle is not protected by
the PASS-Key I1 system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key I1 ignition key, see
your Oldsmobile retailer or
a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key
11 to have a new key made.

When the ignition is on but the engine is not running,
the light will come on as a test to show you it is
working, but the light will go out when you turn the
ignition to
START. If it doesn’t come on with the
ignition on, you may have a problem with the fuse or
bulb. Have it fixed right away.
If you make a hard
stop, the light may come on for a
moment. This is normal.
A The oil light could also come on in two other situations:
I
Don’t keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If
you do, your engine can become so hot that it
catches fire.
You or others could be burned.
Check your oil as soon
as possible and have your
vehicle serviced.
I NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and is not covered by
your warranty.

Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
,want to get the proper Oldsmabile Service Manual.
It tells you much more about how to service your
Oldsmobile than this manual can.
To order the proper
service manual, see “Service and Owner Publications”
in the Index.
,Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
do your own service work, see “Servicing Your Air
Bag-Equipped Oldsmobile” in the Index.
You.should keep a record
with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date
of any service work you
‘perform. See “Maintenance Record? in’the Index.

Be sure you have suffkient knowledge,
experience, and the proper replacement
parts and tools before you attempt any
vehicle maintenance task. Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. “English” and “metric”
fasteners can be easily confused.
If you use
the wrong fasteners, parts can later break
or fall
off. You could be hurt.

Electrical System Headlamp Wiring
Add-on Electrical Equipment
NOTICE:
~~
~
Don’t add anything electrical t6 ydur Oldsmobile
unless you check with your retailer first. Some
electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment
can keep other components from working as
they should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting
to add anything electrical to your Oldsmobile, see
“Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Oldsmobile” in
the Index. The
headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker
in
the underhood electrical center. An electrical overload
will cause the lamps to go on and off, or in some cases
to remain
off. If this happens, have your headlamp
system checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. If
the overload
is caused by some electrical problem, have
it fixed. I

Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem
is fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. This
greatly reduces the chance of'fires caused by
electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
. .. . .. ,.. ,.
These fuses are located in a fuse block on the
passenger's side of the instrument panel. Pull
off the
cover labeled
FUSES to expose the fuses.
