I How To Wear Safety Belts
Properly
Adults
This section is only for people of adult
size.
Be aware that there are special things to
how about safety belts and children.
And there are different rules for smaller
children and babies. If a child will be
riding in your Oldsmobile, see the
section after this one, called
Children.
Follow those rules for everyone’s
protection.
First, you’ll want
to know which
restraint systems your vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
I Driver Position
This section describes the driver’s
restraint system.

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 Seats
in the Index) so you can sit up straight.

To unlatch the belt, just push the
button on the buckle. The belt should
go back out of the way.
Before you close the door, be sure the
belt is out of the way. If you slam the
door on it, you can damage both the
belt and your vehicle.
Safety Belt Use During
Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Like
all
occupants, they are more likely to be
seriously injured if they don’t wear
safety belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a lap-
shoulder belt, and the lap portion
should be worn as low as possible
throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is to
protect the mother. When a safety belt
is worn properly, it’s more likely that
the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash.
For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key
to malung safety belts effective is
wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger
Position
The right front passenger’s safety belt
works the same way as the driver’s
safety belt. See
Driver Position, earlier
in- this part.
When the lap portion of the belt is pulled
out all the way, it will lock.
If it does, let
it go back
all the way and start again.

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.

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.

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

Theft
Vehicle
theft is big business, especially
in some cities. Although your
I Oldsmobile has a number of theft
deterrent features, we know that
nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal. However, there are
ways you can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with
the keys inside, it’s an easy target for
joy riders
or professional thieves - so
don’t do it.
When
you park your Oldsmobile and
open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
tone reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you.
Always do this. Your steering wheel
will be locked, and
so will your ignition
and transmission. And remember to
lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows
and lock your vehicle. Remember to
keep your valuables out of sight. Put
them in a storage area, or take them
with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will
be watching your vehicle, it’s best to
lock it up and take your keys. But what
if you have to leave your ignition key?
What
if you have to leave something
valuable
in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area,
like your glove box.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
Tailgate Lock
From the outside, use the round key to
open the tailgate. With the key in the
lock, turn the lock handle to the left to
unlock the window.
Raise the window, then turn the lock
handle to the right to unlock the
tailgate.
