The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it's more
likely that the fetus won't be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
To learn how to wear the right front passenger's
safety belt properly, see ªDriver Positionº earlier in
this section.
The right front passenger's safety belt works the same
way as the driver's safety belt
-- except for two things.
If the belt stops before it reaches the buckle, tilt the latch
plate and keep pulling until you can buckle the belt.
On some vehicles, if you pull the shoulder portion of the
belt out all the way, you will engage the child restraint
locking feature. If this happens, just let the belt go back
all the way and start again.

1-27 Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle 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
dealer and the service manual have information about
servicing your vehicle and the air bag system. To
purchase a service manual, see ªService and Owner
Publicationsº in the Index.
CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service. You
can be injured if you are close to an air bag when
it inflates. Avoid yellow connectors. They are
probably part of the air bag system. Be sure to
follow proper service procedures, and make sure
the person performing work for you is qualified
to do so.
The air bag system does not need regular maintenance.
Rear Seat Passengers
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 Positions
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The positions next to the windows have lap
-shoulder
belts. Here's how to wear one properly.

Keys
CAUTION:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition
key is dangerous for many reasons. A child or
others could be badly injured or even killed.
They could operate controls or even make the
vehicle move. Don't leave the keys in a vehicle
with children.

2-3
Your vehicle comes with two master keys and one spare
key. The master key can be used for the ignition, as well
as all door locks, trunk and storage compartments.
The third key is provided as a spare key.
These keys don't have key plugs. Your Oldsmobile
dealer or Roadside Assistance has a code for your key.If you need a new master key, contact your dealer who
can obtain the correct key code or, in an emergency, call
Oldsmobile Roadside Assistance at 1
-800-442-OLDS
(6537) (In Canada call 1
-800-268-6800).
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of features that can
help prevent theft. But you can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your key inside. You may have to damage your
vehicle to get in. So be sure you have an
extra key.

2-4
Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers -- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren't locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your key or keyless entry
transmitter, if equipped.
Power Door Locks
Press the power door lock
switch located on the door
near the handle to lock or
unlock all doors.

2-5
The rear doors do not have power door lock switches.
The manual lever on each front and rear door works
only on that door's lock. It won't lock or unlock all the
doors. Push the manual lever rearward to unlock and
forward to lock.
Last Door Closed Locking
This feature allows the doors to be locked while the
passengers are leaving the vehicle. This also provides a
brief time period after all the doors are closed, but
before the doors lock, in which the doors may be
reopened. Last door closed locking can be programmed
by the owner.
Last door closed locking is activated by either the power
door lock switch inside the vehicle or by pressing
the LOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped). After pressing the power door lock switch
once, three chimes will be heard. The three chimes
indicate that the last door closed locking has
been activated.
The driver has three possible options once the last door
closed locking is activated:

Cancel the last door closed locking by pressing
the unlock switch or by fully inserting the key
in the ignition.

Override the last door closed locking feature and
lock the doors immediately by pressing the lock
switch a second time.

Let the last door closed locking feature complete the
locking of the vehicle.

2-6
If the driver wishes to let the last door closed locking
feature complete the locking of the vehicle, no
additional action is required. The last door closed
locking feature will lock the doors automatically after
all the doors have been closed for a period of five
seconds. During this five second period, any door may
be reopened, at which time the three possible actions
described previously are again available.
You can customize the vehicle to activate the last door
closed locking feature as described previously or to
completely disable the last door closed locking feature at
all times. If disabled, the doors will lock immediately
when a power door lock switch is pressed. The last door
closed locking feature is customized when the driver
performs the following sequence with the doors closed
and the ignition key in ON.
1. Press and hold the power door lock switch in the
unlock position.
2. While holding the door unlock switch, cycle the
transaxle out of and back into PARK (P).3. After an initial transaxle cycle, each additional cycle
will turn the last door closed locking feature on
or off.
4. During this customization procedure, the chime will
sound, providing the driver feedback. A single chime
will be heard if the last door closed locking feature is
off, and two chimes will be heard if the last door
closed locking feature is on.
5. When the door unlock switch is released, the vehicle
will remain in the most recent operating mode.
The last door closed locking feature is enabled when the
vehicle is shipped from the factory.
Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not
change or delete the last door closed locking feature.

2-7 Programmable Automatic Door Locks
Programmable automatic door locks is a standard
feature intended to provide enhanced security and
convenience by automatically locking and unlocking
vehicle doors. The automatic locking and unlocking of
the vehicle will occur if the ignition key is in ON and
the driver's door is closed when the vehicle is shifted
out of PARK (P). One of four operating modes may be
selected and programmed by the driver:
Mode 1: No automatic door lock or unlock.
Mode 2: Automatic all door lock when transaxle is
shifted out of PARK (P). No automatic door unlock.
Mode 3: Automatic all door lock when transaxle is
shifted out of PARK (P). Automatic all door unlock
when transaxle is shifted into PARK (P).
Mode 4: Automatic all door lock when transaxle is
shifted out of PARK (P). Automatic driver's door only
unlock when transaxle is shifted into PARK (P).The operating mode of the programmable automatic
door locks will be changed when the driver performs the
following sequence with the doors closed and the
ignition key in ON.
1. Press and hold the power door lock switch in the
lock position.
2. While holding the door lock switch, cycle the
transaxle out of and back into PARK (P).
3. After an initial transaxle cycle, each additional cycle
will advance to the operating mode by one, starting
from the current operating mode.
4. During this customization procedure, the automatic
door lock and unlock functions will operate as
defined by each mode listed, providing the customer
with feedback of the current operating mode.
5. If cycled beyond Mode 4, the vehicle will enter
operating Mode 1. When the door lock switch is
released, the vehicle will remain in the most recent
operating mode.
The programmable automatic door locks are in operating
Mode 3 when the vehicle is shipped from the factory.
Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not
change or delete any previously programmed modes.
