How to Use this Manual
Safety Warnings and Symbols
You will find a number of safety
cautions
in this book. We use yellow
and the word
CAUTION to tell you
about things that could hurt you
if
you were to ignore the warning.
You will also find a red circle with a
slash through it in this book. This
safety symbol means:
Don’t
Don’t
do this
,Don’t let this happen
I #-

In the yellow cautior :ea, we tell
you what the hazard
is. Then we tell
you what to do to help avoid or
reduce the hazard. Please read these
cautions.
If you don’t, you or others
could be hurt.

1 Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this book you will find
these blue notices:
In the blue notice area, we tell you
about something that can damage
your vehicle. Many times,
this damage
would not be covered by your
warranty, and it could be costly. But
the notice
will tell you what to do to
help avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals,
you
might see CAUTION and NOTICE
warnings in different colors or in
different words. In this manual, we’ve
used the familiar words and colors
that Oldsmobile has used for years.
You’ll
also see warning labels on your
vehicle. They use the same colors,
and the words CAUTION or
NOTICE.

Features & Controls

Daytime Running Lights (CONK)
At dusk, the exterior lights will come on
automatically and the low beams will
change to full brightness. At dawn, the
exterior lights will go out and the low
beams will change to the reduced
brightness of
DRL (if the headlight
switch is off).
Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off,
set the parking brake while the ignition
is in the
Off or Lock position. Then
start the vehicle. The DRL will stay off
until you release the parking brake.
Headlight High-Low Beam
Changer
To change the headlights from low
beam to high or high to low, pull the
turn signal/headlight beam lever all the
way toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams are on,
a blue
light on the instrument panel also will
be on.
Flash-to- Pass
Flash-to-pass lets you use your high
beam headlights
to signal a driver in
front of you that you want to pass.
To use it, pull the turn signal/headlight
beam lever toward you.
If Your Headlights are Off
Your high beam headlights will turn on.
They'll stay on
as long as you hold the
lever there. Release the lever to turn
them off.
If Your Headlights are On:
No flash-to-pass. Use the lever to
change between high and low beams, as
explained under
Headlight High-Low
Beam Changer
earlier in this section.
If You Have Fog Lights:
They go off whenever the high beams
are on. When the high beams go
off, the
fog lights will come on again, if the fog
light switch is on.

Road Signs
The road signs you see everywhere are
coded by color, shape and symbols. It's
a good idea to lmow these codes so that
you can quickly grasp the basic meaning
or intent of the sign even before you
have a chance to read it.
STOP
DO NOT
ENTER WRONG
WAY
Color of Road Signs
Red means Stop. It may also indicate
that some movement is not allowed.
Examples are
Do Not Enter, Wrong
Way,
or No Parking.
Green is used to guide the driver.
Green signs may indicate upcoming
freeway exits or show the direction you
should turn to reach a particular place.
RR ADVANCE NARROW NO PASSING
CROSSING BRIDGE ZONE
Yellow indicates a general warning.
Slow down and be careful when you see
a yellow sign. It may signal a railroad
crossing ahead, a no passing zone, or
some other potentially dangerous
situation. Likewise, a yellow solid line
painted on the road means
Don't
Cross.
Blue signs with white letters show
motorists' services.
