Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially
in some cities.
Although your Oldsmobile has a number
of theft-deterrent features, we lmow
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
tone 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.

Remote Trunk Release (OPTION)
Press the yellow trunk release button
located under the instrument panel on
the driver’s side.
Your automatic transaxle must be in
P (Park).
Remember that your trunk can be
opened at
any time using the lock
release. Be sure to lock your doors.
Convenience Net (OPTION)
Your vehicle may have a convenience
net. You’ll see it just inside the back
wall
of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags,
behind the net. It can help keep them
from falling over during sharp turns
or
quick stafts and stops.
The net isn’t for larger, heavier loads.
Store them in the trunk as far forward
as you can.
You can unhook the net so that it will
lie flat when you’re not using it.
4-Door Models:
To allow easier access to the trunk area
when the convenience net is not being
used, push the net down and hook it
under the retaining screws
as shown.

long objects like
skis. Pull your rear
armrest down using the strap. Then pull
the latch
on the trunk access panel
towards you to open the panel.
To close the access panel
lift the latch.
Ashtrays and Lighter
To clean the ashtrays, open them fully
and lift out the ashtray by pulling on the
snuffer.

use the lighter, just push it in all the
way and let go. When it's ready, it will
pop back
by itself.

Weight of the Trailer Tongue
The tongue load (A) of any trailer is
an important weight to measure
because it affects the total capacity
weight of your vehicle. The capacity
weight includes the curb weight of the
vehicle, any cargo you may carry in it,
and the people who
will be riding in
the vehicle. And
if you will tow a
trailer, you must subtract the tongue
load
from your vehicle’s capacity
weight because your vehicle
will be
carrying that -weight, too. See the
Index under Loading Your Vehicle for
more information about your vehicle’s
maximum load capacity. The
trailer tongue
(A) should weigh
10% of the total loaded trailer weight
(B) . After you’ve loaded your trailer,
weigh the trailer and then the tongue,
separately, to see
if the weights are
proper.
If they aren’t, you may be able
to get them right simply by moving
some items around in the trailer.
Total Weight on Your Vehicle’s
Tires
Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inflated
to the limit for cold tires.
You will find
these numbers
on the Certification
label at the rear edge of the driver’s
door or on the inside
of the trunk lid.
See the
Index under Tire L0adin.g.
Then be sure you don’t go over the
GVW limit for your vehicle.
Hitches
It’s important to have the correct hitch
equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks
going by, and rough roads are a few
reasons why you’ll need the right hitch.
Here are some rules to follow:
Will you have to make any holes in
the body of your vehicle when
you
install a trailer hitch? If you do, then
be sure to seal the holes later when
you remove the hitch.
If you don’t
seal them, deadly carbon monoxide
(CO)
from your exhaust can get into
your vehicle. (See the
Index under
Carbon Monoxide in Exhaust. Dirt
and water can, too.

Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by driving slowly to a level
place. Turn on
your hazard warning flashers.
1. Set the parking brake firmly.
2. Put the shift lever in P (Park).
3. Turn off the engine.
To be even more certain the vehicle won't move, you can put chocks at the
front and rear of the tire farthest away
from the one being changed. That would
! the tire on the other side of the vehicle. at the omosite end.
c& ..:
The following steps will tell you how to
use the jack and change a tire.
