6. To tighten the belt, feed it back into
the 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.
To remove the child restraint, just
unbuckle the vehicle's safety belt and
let it go back all the way. The safety belt
will move freely again and be ready to
work for an adult or larger child
passenger.
I
Larger Children
Children who have outgrown child
restraints should wear the vehicle's
safety belts.
If you have the choice, a child should sit
next to a window
so the child can wear
a lap-shoulder belt and get the
additional restraint a shoulder belt can
provide.
Accident statistics show that children
are safer
if they are restrained in the
rear seat. But they need to use the
safety belts properly.
Children who aren't buckled up can
be thrown out in a crash.

Matching Transmitter@) To Your
Vehicle
Each key chain 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 dealer.
Remember to bring the remaining
transmitters with you when you go
to
your dealer. When the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, the remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once the new
transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match
a transmitter to as many
different vehicles as you own, provided
they are equipped with
exactly the
same model system.
(General Motors
offers several different models of these
systems on their vehicles.) Each vehicle
can have up to four transmitters
matched to it.

NOTICE:
Loading cargo that weighs more
than
125 pounds (56 kg) on the
luggage carrier may damage your
vehicle. When you carry cargo
on
the luggage carrier of a proper size
and weight, put it
on the slats, as
far forward as
you can. Then slide
the crossrail up against the rear of
the load, to help keep it from
moving. You can then tie it down. Don’t
exceed the maximum vehicle
sapacity when loading your Oldsmobile.
For more information
on vehicle
capacity and loading, see the
Index
under Loading Your Vehicle.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as
you’re driving, check now and then to
make sure the luggage carrier and cargo
are still securely fastened.
Your luggage carrier has release hobs
set in the ends of each crossrail. Turn
the release hobs counterclockwise,
then slide the crossrails forward or
back, as needed, to accommodate loads
of varying size.
After repositioning the crossrails, be
sure to tighten the release hobs by
turning them clockwise, locking the
crossrails in place.
