Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your
key chain transmitter should last about
two years.
You can tell the batteries are 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 batteries.
To Replace Batteries in the Remote
Lock Control:
1. Insert a coin into the slot in the back
of the transmitter, and turn
counterclockwise to open the cover.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Remove and replace the two 3-volt
batteries
(DL 20 16).
4. Reassemble the transmitter.
5. Check the transmitter operation.
I Illuminated Entry System
(OPTION)
This option comes with the optional
remote lock control system.
When you open the driver’s door, by
itself or in combination with any
passenger door or the liftgate, the
interior lights will come on and then
gradually dim to off
10 seconds after the
kt door is closed.
(If the driver’s door
has not been opened, the interior lights
will immediately dim to off.)
When you press
a on your remote
transmitter, the lights inside your
vehicle will go on, then gradually dim to
off after about
40 seconds, unless a
door or the liftgate is opened.
When you turn on the ignition, the
interior lights will immediately dim to
off. Vehicle
theft is big business, especially
in some cities. Although your
Oldsmobile has a number of theft
deterrent features, we know that
nothing we put
on it can make it
impossible to steal. However, there are
ways you can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with
the keys inside, it’s an easy target for
joy riders or professional thieves
- so
don’t do it.
When you park your Oldsmobile and
open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
chime reminding you to remove your
key from the ignition and take it with
you. Always do this. Your steering
wheel will be locked, and
so will your
ignition and transaxle. And remember
to lock the doors.

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.

Use the adjustable tiedown loops in the
side rails
to help secure large loads.
Reposition the tiedowns by turning
them counterclockwise, then slide them
along the side rail. Turn the tiedowns
cloclnvise
to tighten them in place.
Tiedowns may be removed and used in
the adjustable tapped plates in the
crossrails.
You may also use these
tapped plates to secure bicycle or ski
racks.
Electronic Level Control (OPTION)
With this option, the rear of the vehicle
automatically adjusts to changes in load
weight. (See the
Index under Loading
Your Vehicle.)
You may hear the compressor operating
when you load or unload your vehicle,
and periodically
as the system self-
adjusts. This is normal. The compressor
should operate for brief
periods of time. If the sound continues
for an extended period
of time, your
vehicle needs service. To keep your
battery from being drained, you may
want to pull the 20-amp
ELC fuse in the
fuse control panel until you can get
your vehicle serviced (see the
Index
under Fuses G Circuit Breakers).

4 Audio Systems
The following pages describe the audio
systems available for your Oldsmobile,
and how to get the best performance
from them. Please read about the
system in your vehicle.
Hearing damage from loud noise is
almost undetectable until it is too late.
Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems
normal can be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Take precautions by adjusting
the volume control on your radio to a
safe sound level before your hearing
adapts
to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
1. Adjust the volume control to the
lowest setting.
2. Increase volume slowly until you
hear comfortably and clearly.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound
equipment
to your vehicle - like a
tape player,
CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio
- be
sure you can add what you want. If
you can, it’s very important to do it
properly. Added sound equipment
may interfere with the operation
of
your vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio
or other systems, and even damage
them. And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation of
sound equipment that has been
added improperly.
So, before
adding sound equipment, check
with your dealer and be sure to
check Federal rules covering mobile
radio and telephone units.
