1994 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA key battery

Should interference to this system
occur, try this:
Check to determine if battery
replacement is necessary. See the
instructions on battery replacement.
Check the distance. You may be too
far from your vehicle. This product
has a maximum range.
Check the location. Other vehicles or
objects may be blocking the signal.
See your Oldsmobile dealer or a
qualified technician for service.
Changes or modifications to this system
by other than an authorized service
facility could void authorization to use
this equipment.
Operation
When you press UNLOCK, the driver’s
door will unlock automatically. If you
press
UNLOCK again within five
seconds, all doors will unlock. All doors
will lock when
DOOR is pressed.
The tailgate glass will unlock when
0 is pressed, but only when the
transmission is in
P (Park).
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.

Features & Controh

1. Without pushing the accelerator
pedal, turn your ignition key to
Start.
When the engine starts, let go of the
key. The idle speed will go down as
your engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in Start for longer
than
15 seconds at a time will cause
your battery to be drained much
sooner. And the excessive heat can
damage your starter motor.
2. If it doesn’t start right away, hold your
key in
Start. If it doesn’t start in three
seconds, push the accelerator pedal
about one-quarter of the way down for
12 more seconds, or until it starts,
3. If your engine still won’t start (or
starts but then stops), it could be
flooded with too much gasoline. Try
this: Wait
15 seconds to let the
starter motor cool down. Then push
your accelerator pedal all the way to
the floor. Hold it there. Then,
hold
the key in Start for no more than ten
seconds. This clears the extra
gasoline from the engine. If
the engine still doesn’t start, wait
another
15 seconds and do it all again.
When the engine starts, let go of the
key and the accelerator pedal.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work
with the electronics in your vehicle.
If you add electrical parts or
accessories, you could change the
way the fuel injection system
operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your dealer.
If
you don’t, your engine might not
perform properly. If you ever have
to have your vehicle towed, see the
part of this manual that tells how to
do it without damaging your
vehicle. See
Towing Your Truck in
the
Index.
Driving llzrough Deep
Standing Water
NOTICE:
If you drive too quickly through
deep puddles or standing water,
water can come in through your
engine’s air intake and badly damage
your engine. If you can’t avoid deep
puddles or standing water, drive
through them very slowly.
