power door lock switch again, and the doors and liftgate will lock immediately.
If the sliding door is open, it will lock
automatically within five seconds after it is closed, and the doors and liftgate will

power door lock switch.
Remote Operation of Power Sliding
Door
This option may not be available on
your vehicle.
If you have the optional
power sliding door (see
Power Sliding
Door later in this section), your remote
transmitter will have a third button
labeled
m. Press it to open or close
the sliding door.
If the sliding door is locked, first press
a twice to unlock all doors, then

You can operate the power sliding door
with
the remote transmitter when the

Matching Transmitters 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 dealer.
Remember to bring the remaining
transmitter with you when you go
to
your dealer. When the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, the remaining transmitter 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.

When the air conditioner compressor is
on, you may sometimes notice slight
changes in your vehicle’s engine
performance and power. This is normal,
because the system is designed to help
fuel economy while it maintains the
desired cooling level.
The air conditioner removes moisture
from the air,
so you may sometimes
notice water dripping from under your
vehicle when it is idling or after it has
been turned off. This is normal.
On very hot days, your vehicle will cool
down more quickly and economically if
you open the windows long enough to
let hot inside air escape. For all settings,
adjust the temperature control lever and
fan speed as desired.
Directional Controls
RECIRC (Recirculate): Press to get
maximum cooling or quick cool-down
on very hot days. This setting
recirculates much of the air inside your
vehicle.
It should not be used for long
periods
of time because the air may
become too cold and dry.
Slide the temperature control lever down
to the coolest setting and adjust the fan
speed as desired.
UPPER: For normal cooling on hot
days, press
A/C along with UPPER.
This setting cools outside air and directs
it through the instrument panel outlets.
Adjust the temperature of the air with
the temperature control lever.
BI-LEV (Bi-Level): This setting is
designed for use
on sunny days when
the air is only moderately warm or cool.
On days like these, the sun may
adequately warm your upper body, but
your lower body may not be warm
enough.
The
BI-LEV setting directs outside air
into your vehicle
in two ways. Cooler
air is directed toward your upper body
through the front instrument panel
outlets, while warmed air
is directed
through the heater ducts at your feet.
At
times this temperature difference may be
more apparent than others. For best
results, slide
the temperature control
lever to the middle position, and then
adjust for comfort.

Directional Controls (CONI)
LOWER: This setting brings in most
heated
air through the heater ducts, and
some through the defroster vents.
DEFOG: Because of your Silhouette’s
larger windshield area,
this mode is
particularly useful during cold or
inclement weather. Press to direct
warmed air to the windshield and
through the heater ducts.
DEF (Defrost): Press to direct most
warmed air to the windshield and side
window vents. To
maximize air flow to the rear of your
vehicle, place the left second row bucket
seat in the forward position (see the
Index under Adjusting Rear Seats). This
uncovers the rear air outlet.
Also keep the area around the base of
the center instrument panel console and
the area between and under the front
seats free
of objects that could obstruct
air flow to the rear.
Rear Fan
The control for the rear fan is located
below the audio system.
First, select
LOWER, BI-LEV or
DEFOG to direct air flow to the rear air
outlet and to the rear side windows. Use
the temperature control lever to adjust
the temperature setting. Then, select the
force of air you want, from
LO to HI,
by sliding the rear fan control to the
desired setting.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the rear area without making the front
passengers uncomfortable, adjust the front
fan speed first, then adjust the
temperature setting.
To turn off the rear fan, slide the control
to
ow.

or ignored. If ignored, the system plays
normally.
If it is used, your player won’t
be usable if it is ever stolen, because it
will go to
LOC mode any time battery
power is removed. Until an unLOC
code is entered, it will not
turn on.
The instructions below tell you how to
enter a secret code into the system.
If
your vehicle loses battery power for any
reason, you must unlock the system with
the secret code before the radio will turn
on.
To Set the Anti-Theft System:

Run position.
3. Press the POWER button to turn the
radio
off.
4. Press the PREV and FF buttons
together. Hold them down until
“- - -” shows on the display (at least
five seconds). You are ready to enter
your secret code.
NOTE:
If you allow more than 15
seconds to elapse between any steps, the
radio automatically reverts to time and
you must
start the procedure over at step 4.

SEC will appear, indicating that the
radio is secure.
If “- - -” appears,
the steps were
not successful and
you must repeat the entire
procedure.
To Unlock the System After a Power
Loss:
When battery power is reapplied to a
secured radio, the radio won’t turn
on
and LOC will appear on the display.
Enter your secret code as follows; pause
no more than
15 seconds between steps.
1. Turn the ignition on. (Radio off.)
2. Press the SET button. The display
will show
000.
3. Enter the six digits of the code
following steps
6-9 above. The
display will show the numbers as
entered.
4. Press the AM/FM button and the
time appears, indicating that the
disabling sequence was successful.
If
the display indicates SEC, the
numbers did not match and the unit is
still secured.
Disabling the Anti-Theft System:
1. Press PREV and FF together for five
seconds with the ignition on and
radio power off. The display will
show SEC, indicating the unit is in
the secure mode. (If

has already been disabled.)
2. Press the SET button. The display
will show
000.
3. Enter the first three digits of the code
following steps

display
000.
5. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to enter the second
three digits
of the code. The display
will show the numbers as entered.
6. Press
AM/FM. If bb- - -” then the
time appears, the disabling sequence
was successful (the numbers matched
the secret code) and the unit is in the
UNSECURED mode. If the display
shows
SEC, the disabling sequence
was unsuccessful (the numbers did
not match) and the
unit will remain
in the SECURED mode.

Sewice & Appearaj
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 catalog number shown on the
original battery’s label.
Jump Starting
For jump starting instructions, see the
Index under Jump Starting.
Vehide 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.
II
- Batteries have acid that can
1 burn you and gas that can
plode. You can be badly hurt if
u aren’t careful. See the Index
der Jump Starting for tips on
Irking around a battery without
tting
hurt.

How bu Can Get an Index
Indexes are published periodically. Most
of
the PSP’s which could potentially
apply
to the most recent Oldsmobile
models will
be listed in the most recent
publication for that model year.
This
means you may want to wait until the
end of the model year before ordering
an index,
if you are interested in buying
PSP’s pertaining to a current model year
car or truck.
Some
PSP‘s pertaining to a particular
model year vehicle may be published in
later years, and these would be listed in
the later year’s index. When
you order
an index for a model year that
is not
over yet, we’ll send you the most recently published issue. Check the
ordering form for indexes for earlier
model years. Cut out the ordering form,
fd it out,
and mail it in. We will then
see to it that
an index is
mailed to you. There is no
charge for indexes for the
1989-1993
model years.
Toll-F’ree Telephone Number
If you want an additional ordering form
for an index or a subscription, just call
toll-free and we’ll be happy to send you one. Automated recording equipment
will take your name and mailing
address. The number to call
