Remote Activation Verification (RAV)
This feature helps provide an audible and/or visible feedback
that a remote keyless entry lock or unlock command has been
received and executed. The vehicle must be
off for the
Remote Activation Verification to work.
You may select one of four operating modes for the reception
of a lock command.
You may also select one of four
operating modes for the reception of an unlock command.
The selection and programming of the lock and unlock
modes are independent of each other. The following modes
are available for either lock or unlock verification:
Mode 1: No Verification
Mode 2: Horn Chirp only The operating
mode
of the Remote Activation
Verification Lock (RAV Lock) feature will be changed
when the driver performs the following sequence with
the doors closed and the ignition key is in
ON:
1. Press and hold down the power door lock switch in
the lock position.
2. While holding the door lock switch, press and
release the
RKE transmitter lock switch. This button
press will initialize the customization mode. Upon initiation of this mode, the chime will sound the
number of chimes corresponding to the current
RAV lock mode.
Each additional press of the Remote Keyless Entry
transmitter lock switch will cause the vehicle to
increment the RAV lock mode by one, starting from the
current RAV lock mode. If cycled beyond RAV lock
mode
4, the vehicle shall enter RAV lock mode 1. When
the door lock switch is released, the vehicle will remain
in the most recent RAV lock mode.

Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not
change the programmed mode of the Remote Activation
Verification functions.
Illumination on Remote Activation
This feature is included on vehicles with the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system. The interior illumination
will be activated when an
RKE door unlock command
is received. The ignition must be off for the Remote
Activation Illumination to work. The interior lamps will
illuminate until the ignition is turned to ON
or until the
illumination period of
40 seconds has elapsed.
If during the illumination period, a door is opened, the
timed illumination period will be canceled, though the
interior lamps will remain
on until all doors are closed.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your retailer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you
go to your
retailer. When the retailer matches the replacement transmitter
to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your retailer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak
if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex.
Its many parts have to be of top quality and work well
together if the vehicle is
to have really good braking.
Your vehicle was designed and tested with top-quality
GM brake parts. When you replace parts of your braking
system
-- for example, when your brake linings wear
down and you have to have new ones put in
-- be sure
you get new approved
GM replacement parts. If you
don’t, your brakes may no longer work properly. For
example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong
for your vehicle, the balance between your front and
rear brakes can change
-- for the worse. The braking
performance you’ve come to expect can change in many
other ways if someone puts in the wrong replacement
brake parts.
cvery new Oldsmobile has an ACDelco Freedom@
battery. You never have to add water to one of these.
When it’s time for a new battery, we recommend
an ACDelco Freedom battery. Get one that has
the replacement number shown
on the original
battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or
more, remove the black, negative (-) cable from
the battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
aren’t careful. See “Jump Starting” in the Index
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your retailer to learn how to prepare your
vehicle for longer storage periods.
Also,
for your audio system, see “Theft-Deterrent
Feature”
in the Index.
