CRUISE
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake.
This, of course, shuts
off the cruise control. But you don’t need to reset it.
Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can move the cruise control switch from
ON to
RESUME/ACCEL (WA) for about half a second.
,
ProCarManuals.com

You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay
there.
If you have the 3800 V6 engine, cruise control
memory will be erased when you place
the transaxle in
PARK (P). If this is the case, you will not be able to
resume your set speed by moving the cruise control
switch to
WA.
Use the SET button to reset cruise (see “To Set Cruise
Control” earlier in this section).
If you hold the switch at
R/A longer than half a second,
the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the
switch or apply
the brake. You could be startled and
even lose control.
So unless you want to go faster, don’t
hold the switch at R/A.
To Increase Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the
first:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
Push the button at the end of the lever, then release
the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now
cruise at the higher speed.
Here’s the second way to go to
a higher speed:
Move the cruise switch from ON to WA. Hold it
there until you get up to the speed you want, and
then release the switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts, move
the switch to R/A for less than half a second and then
release
it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go
about
1 mph (1.6 kdh) faster.

The air inflator kit is stored in a pouch in the glove box.
It includes a 20-foot
(6 m) hose with an air pressure
gage, nozzle adapters and instructions.
To use your air inflator system, attach the appropriate
nozzle adapter, if required, to the end of the hose that
has the pressure gage. Then attach that end of the hose
to the object you wish to inflate. Attach the other end of
the hose to the outlet. Press the
ON switch. The ON
switch will work even with the ignition off. If the air
inflator does not operate, a fuse may be blown or
installed incorrectly. See your retailer for service. Your air
inflator will automatically shut
off after about
10 minutes. To reset it, press the ON switch again.
Don’t run your air inflator for longer than
30 minutes at
one time. If you do, you may damage the system. After
30 minutes, wait at least 10 minutes before restarting the
air inflator.
To turn off the inflator, press OFF and detach the hose,
first from the inflated object, then from the outlet. Place
the inflator kit tools in the pouch and store it in the
glove box.

Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that may
be on your vehicle. The pictures will help
you locate them.
Warning lights and gages
can signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough to cause
an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying attention
to your warning
lights and gages could also save you or others
from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one
of your vehicle’s functions. As you
will see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come
on briefly when you start the
engine just to let you know they’re working.
If you are
familiar with this section,
you should not be alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with
one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let
you know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when
you are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting
to do repairs can be costly -- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re
a big help.

If the anti-lock brake system warning light stays on
longer than normal after you’ve started your engine,
turn
the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on and stays on
when you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn
the ignition
off. Then start the engine again to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you’re driving, your Oldsmobile needs service.
If
the light is on but not flashing and the regular brake
system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but
you don’t have ahti-lock brakes.
Traction Control System Warning Light
(Option)
TCS
This warning light should
come on briefly as you start
the engine.
If the warning light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem. If it
stays on, or comes on when you’re driving, there may be
a problem with your traction control system and your
vehicle may need service. When this warning light
is on,
the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving
accordingly.
If your brakes begin to overheat, the traction control
system will
turn off and the warning light will come on
until your brakes cool down. If the traction control
system warning light comes on and stays on for an
extended period
of time, your vehicle needs service.
