Removable Rear Bucket Seats
There are three types of rear bucket
seats:
RIGHT ONLY, CENTER OR
LEFT, and LEFT ONLY. RIGHT
ONLY
and LEFT ONLY seats may be
equipped with the built-in child
restraint option.
The rear bucket seats can be removed to
provide extra storage. Each seat that
has the built-in child restraint option
fits in only one location in your vehicle,
but seats that don’t have the built-in
child restraint can be moved to different
floor locations. The back of each seat
has a diagram (similar to the one
above) that shows where the seat must
be located in your vehicle.
RIGHT ONLY seats that don’t have
the built-in child restraint fit only in the
right locations.
LEFT ONLY seats that
don’t have the built-in child restraint fit
only in the left locations. The
CENTER
OR LEFT
seat fits in the center location
and in either left location.
RIGHT ONLY seats that have the
built-in child restraint option fit only in
the rear set of floor pins in the right
location of the second row.
LEFT
ONLY
seats that have the built-in child
I restraint option fit only in the rear set of
floor pins in the left location of the
second row.
To install third row seats, the second
row seats must be tilted forward or
removed. Don’t put the seats in the
wrong locations.
Entry to Third Row Bucket Seats
The RIGHT ONLY seats have a lower
lever to tilt the seat forward.
To get into
third row seats, push back the lower
lever on the
RIGHT ONLY seat
nearest the sliding door and tilt the seat
forward. Then pull the seat back and
check that it locks into place.

What should you do if this ever
happens? Ease up on the accelerator
pedal, steer the vehicle the way you
want it to go, and slow down.
Speed limit signs near curves warn that
you should adjust your speed. Of
course, the posted speeds are based on
good weather and road conditions.
Under less favorable conditions you’ll
want to go slower.
If you need to reduce your speed as you
approach a curve, do it before you enter
the curve, while your front wheels are
straight ahead.
Try to adjust your speed
so you can
“drive” through the curve. Maintain a
reasonable, steady speed. Wait to
accelerate until you are out of the curve,
and then accelerate gently into the
straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be
more effective than braking. For
example, you come over a hill and find
a truck stopped in your lane, or a car
suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a
child darts out from between parked
cars and stops
right in front of you. You
can avoid these problems by braking
-
if you can stop in time. But sometimes
you can’t; there isn’t room. That’s the
time for evasive action
- steering
around the problem,
Your Oldsmobile can perform very well
in emergencies like these. First apply
your brakes.
It is better to remove as
much speed
as you can from a possible
collision. Then steer around the problem,
to the left
or right depending
on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close
attention and a quick decision. If you
are holding the steering wheel at the
recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions,
you can turn it a full
180 degrees very
quickly without removing either hand.
But you have to act fast, steer quickly,
and just as quickly straighten the wheel
once you have avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations
are always possible is a good reason to
practice defensive driving at all times
and wear safety belts properly.
