Removable Rear Bucket Seats
The rear bucket seats can be removed to
provide extra storage, or they can be
moved to diffkrent floor locations. There
are three types of rear bucket seats:
LEFT ONLY, CENTER OR LEFT,
and RIGHT ONLY. The back of each
seat has a diagram
(similar to the one
above) that shows where the seat must
be located in your vehicle.
The
LEFT ONLY seats fit only in the
left positions. The
RIGHT ONLY seats
fit only in the right positions. The
CENTER OR LEFT seat fits in the
center position and in either left
position.
To install third row seats, the
second row seats must be tilted forward
or removed.
Don’t put the seats
in the wrong location.
Entry to Third Row Bucket Seats
The RIGHT ONLY seats have a lower
lever to tilt the seat forward. To get into
third row seats, push back the lower
lever on the
RIGHT ONLY seat nearest
the sliding door and tilt the seat
forward. Then pull the seat back and
check that it locks into place. To
get out of the third row seats, push
down on the rear release bar under the
seat ahead of you to tilt the seat forward.

Seats & Safety Belts
lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt.
Here's how to wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see the
Index under Seat Controls) so you
can sit up straight.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the
belt across you. Don't let
it get
twisted.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle
until it clicks.
If the belt stops before it reaches the
buckle, tilt the latch plate and keep
pulling until you can buckle the belt.
If the belt isn't long enough, see the
Index under Safety Belt Extender.
Make sure the release button on the
buckle faces upward or outward
so
you would be able to unbuckle it
quickly if you ever had to.

A Leaving young children in a
:hicle with the ignition key
ib uallgerous for many reasons. A
child or others could be badly
injured or even killed.
They could operate power
windows or other controls or even
make the vehicle move. Don’t leave
the
keys in a vehicle with young I
children. The
ignition keys
are for the ignition
only.
The door keys
are for the doors and all
other locks.
When a new Oldsmobile is delivered,
the dealer removes the plugs from the
keys and gives them
to the first owner.
Each plug has a code on
it that tells your
dealer
or a qualified locksmith how to
make extra keys. Keep the plugs in a
safe place. I€ you lose your keys, you’ll
be able to have new ones made easily
using these plugs.

‘ Door Locks
I
dangerous. I
Passengers-especially children-
can easily open the doors and fall
out. When a door is locked, the
inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders can easily enter throl 1
an unlocked door when you slow
down or stop pur vehicle.
This may not be so obvious: You
increase
the chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a crash
if the doors aren’t locked. Wear
safety belts properly, lock your
doors, and you will be far better
off whenever you drive yuur
vehicle. I

There are several ways to lock and

Door Locks (CONT.)
From the Inside:
To lock the door, slide the locking lever
rearward,
To unlock the door, slide the locking
lever forward.
Power Door Locks (OPTION)
From the outside of either front door,
the door key unlocks all doors and the
liftgate.
From the inside, press the front
of the power door lock switch on either
front door.
You can lock all doors and the liftgate
from inside by pressing the rear of the
power lock switch on either front door.
If you have the optional remote keyless
entry system, your vehicle has a special
security feature. 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 locks
with the power door
lock switch or the remote transmitter.
This feature is designed to help keep
you from locking your keys in your
vehicle.
If the sliding door is open when you
press the power door locks switch,
it
will lock automatically within five
seconds after
you close it.
If you have the optional remote keyless
entry system, this feature will be
replaced
by a different lock delay
system. See
Remote Keyless Entry later
in this section.
With power locks, when the doors are
locked, the inside
as well as the outside
door latch release cannot open the
doors. This safety feature prevents a
door from being accidentally opened
from
the inside by moving the handle.
To override this safety feature, slide the
locking lever to the unlock position on
the door you want to open.
