The square-shaped keys are for the
.gnition only. The
oval-shaped keys are for the doors
and all other loclts.
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. If you lose your keys,
you'll
be able to have new ones made
easily using these plugs.

NOTICE:
Your Oldsmobile has a number of
new features that can help prevent
theft. But you can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if
you ever lock your keys inside. You
may even have to damage your
vehicle
to get in. So be sure you
have extra keys.
Door Locks
I'here are several ways to lock and
unlock your vehicle.

Matching rransmitfer(sj 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
transmitters with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, the remaining transmitters
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.
(General Motors
offers several different models of these
systems on their vehicles.) Each vehicle
can have only two transmitters matched
to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to
another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your
key chain transmitter should last about
two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the
transmitter won’t work at the normal
range in any location.
If you have to get
close to your vehicle before the
transmitter works, it’s probably time to
change the batteries.
To Replace Batteries in the Remote
Lock Control:
1. Pop the cover off by inserting a dime
(or something similar) in the groove
between the covers and twisting.
