Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.

technician for service.
Operation
The driver’s door will unlock and the interior lamps
will go on when the unlock symbol is pressed (see
“Illuminated Entry System” later in this section). If
pressed again within five seconds, all doors and the
liftgate will unlock. All doors and the liftgate will lock
when the lock symbol is pressed.
If the driver’s door is open and your key is in the
ignition in the
OFF position, you won’t be able to set the
door lock with the power door lock switch or the remote
transmitter. This security feature is designed to help
keep you from locking your keys in your vehicle.
Lock Delay
The lock delay feature can be operated using either the
remote key chain transmitter or the power door locks
switch (see “Power Door Locks” earlier in this section).
Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization
to
use this equipment.

Matching Transmitter(s) 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 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, 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 only four transmitters
matched to it.
See your retailer to match transmitters to another
vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your key chain
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.

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.
Vehicles we design and test have top-quality
GM brake
parts
in them, as your Oldsmobile does when it is new.
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
genuine
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.
Battery
Every new Oldsmobile has a Delco Freedom@ battery.
You never have to add water to one of these. When
it’s time
for a new battery, we recommend a Delco
Freedom@ battery. Get one that has
the replacement
number shown on the original battery’s label. The
battery is located in the front, driver’s side corner
of the
engine compartment, just below
the windshield washer
fluid reservoir.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or
more, take off the black, negative (-) cable from the
battery. This will help keep your battery from running
down.
Contact your retailer to learn how to prepare your
vehicle for longer storage periods.
