I To Resume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a
desired speed and then you apply the
brake. This,
of course, shuts off the
cruise control. But you don’t need to
reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 Wh) or more, you can
move the cruise control switch
from ON
to RESUME/ACCEL (which stands for
Resume/Accelerate) for about half a
second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen
speed and stay there.
If you have the 3800 V6 engine, cruise
control memory
will be erased when
you place the transaxle
in P (Park). If
this is the case, you will not be able to resume your set speed
by moving the
cruise control switch to
RESUME/ACCEL. Use the SET
button to reset cruise (see To Set Cruise
Control earlier in this section).
If you hold the switch
at
than half a second, the vehicle will
keep going faster until you release
the switch or apply the brake. You
could be startled and even lose
control.
So unless you want to go
faster, don’t hold the switch at
RESUME/ACCEL.

and Indicators
This section decribes the warning lights
and gages that may be on your vehicle.
The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying attention
to your warning lights and gages could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be
or is a problem with one
of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in
the details on the next few pages, some warning lights come on briefly when
you turn the ignition key just to let you
know they’re working.
If you are
familiar with
this section, you should
not be alarmed when this happens. bages
can indicate when there may be
or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to
let you
know when there’s a problem with your
vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes
on and stays on when you are driving,
or when one
of the gages shows there
may be a problem, check the section
that tells you what to do about it. Please
follow the manual’s advice. Waiting to
do repairs can be costly-and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your
warning lights and gages. They’re a big
help.

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning light
With anti-lock, this light will go on
when you
start your engine and may stay
on for three seconds or
so. That’s
normal.
If the light doesn’t come on,
have
it fixed so it will be ready to warn
you if there is a problem.
If the light stays on or comes on when
you’re driving, stop
as soon as possible
and
turn the key off. Then start the engine
to reset the system.
If the light still stays
on, or comes on again while you’re
driving, your Oldsmobile needs service. Unless the regular brake system waming
light is
also on, you will still have brakes,
but not anti-lock brakes.
If the regular
brake system warning light
is also on,
see
Brake System Warning Light earlier
in this part.
If the anti-lock brake system warning
light ever flashes, your anti-lock
brake
system is still working but needs
service.
The anti-lock brake system warning
light
may also come on when you are
driving with a compact spare tire.
If this
happens, the light
means you won’t have
anti-lock until you replace
the compact
spare with a full-size tire.
If the warning
light stays on after you replace the
compact spare with
a full-size tire, or if
it comes on again when you’re driving,
your Oldsmobile needs service.
