When the liftgate has been unlocked
with the power door locks, you won’t
need the key to open it. Simply turn
the
lock clockwise until the latch releases.
This is also true if you use the optional
remote keyless entry transmitter. See
Remote Keyless Entry later in this section.
To lock the liftgate, use either the power
door lock switch or the optional remote
keyless entry transmitter, or lock
it
manually by turning the lock
counterclockwise.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then
get out and close the door.
Remote Keyless Enfry (OPTION)
If your Oldsmobile has this option, you
can lock and unlock your doors and
liftgate from up to
30 feet (9 m) away
using
the key chain transmitter supplied
with your vehicle.
Operation
The driver’s door will unlock and the
interior lights will
go on when a is
pressed (see Illuminated Entry System
later in this section). If pressed again
within five seconds, all doors and the
liftgate will unlock. All doors and the
liftgate will lock when
fl is pressed.
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 lock
with
the power door lock switch or the remote transmitter.
This security feature
is designed to help keep you from
locking your keys
in your vehicle.
Lock Delay
The lock delay feature can be operated
using either the remote key chain
transmitter or the power door locks
switch (see
Power Door Lucks earlier in
this section).
For the lock delay feature to work, the
ignition and the interior lights control to
the left of the instrument panel cluster
must be off. If you wish to lock the
doors
with the interior lights on,
press
B or the rear of either power
door lock switch twice.

Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlamps, parking lamps, fog lamps,
side marker lamps and tail lamps) meets
all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states ahd provinces
may apply their own lighting regulations
that may require special attention before
you operate these lamps. For example,
some jurisdictions may require that you
operate your lower beam lamps with fog
lamps at all times, or that headlamps be
turned on whenever you must use your
windshield wipers. In addition, most
jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lamps, especially at dawn or
dusk. It is recommended that you check
with your own state or provincial
highway authority for applicable lighting
regulations.
Lights On Reminder
If you turn the ignition key to the Off or
Lock position while leaving the lights
on, you will hear a warning chime.
I
Headlight High-Low Beam
Changer
To change the headlights from high to
low beam, or low to high, simply pull
the turn signal lever all the way toward
you. Then release it.
When the high beams are on, a blue
light on the instrument cluster also will
be on.

Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper and washer
controls are located to the right
of the
instrument cluster.
For a Single Wiper Cycle: Press the
switch marked
MIST and release. For
more cycles, press and hold the switch.
For Pulse Delay Wiper Cycles: The
pulse delay cycle system allows
you to
set the wiper speed as slow as
20
seconds between cycles, or faster. Pulse
delay cycles are very useful in light rain
or snow. Slide the upper control
to the
DELAY area. The lower the position,
the slower the cycle; the higher the
position, the faster the cycle.
For Steady Wiper Cycles: Slide the
upper control either to the
LO or HI
position, depending on the wiper speed
you want.
