This figure lights up as a reminder to
buckle up. (See
Safety Belt Reminder
Light
in the Index.)
In many states and Canadian provinces,
the law says to wear safety belts. Here’s
why:
They work.
You never how if you’ll be in a crash.
If you do have a crash, you don’t know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some
crashes can be
so serious that even
buckled up a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes are in between. In
many of them, people who buckle up
can survive and sometimes walk away.
Without belts they could have been
badly hurt
or killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts
in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling up does matter
... a lot!
Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you
go as fast as it goes.
1. For example, if the bike is going 10
mph (16 km/h), so is the child.
2. When the bike hits the block, it
stops. But the child keeps going! 15

With safety belts, you slow down as the
vehicle does.
You get more time to stop.
You stop over more distance, and your
strongest bones take the forces. That’s
why safety belts make such good sense.
HereAre Questions Many
People
Ask About Safety
Belts
- and the Answers
Q: Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle
after an accident if I’m wearing a
safety belt?
A: You could be - whether you’re
wearing a safety belt or not. But you
can easily unbuckle a safety belt,
even if you’re upside down. And
your chance of being conscious
during and after an accident,
so you
can unbuckle and get out, is much
greater if you are belted.
Q: Why don’t they just put in air bags
so people won’t have to wear safety
belts?
A: Air bags are in some vehicles today
and will be in more
of them in the
future. But they are supplemental
systems only
- so they work with
safety belts, not instead of them. Every
air bag system ever offered for
sale has required the use of safety
belts. Even if you’re in a vehicle that
has air bags, you still have to buckle
up to get the most protection. That’s
true not
only in frontal collisions, but
especially
in side and other
collisions.
drive far from home, why should I
wear safety belts?
A You may be an excellent driver, but
if you’re in an accident - even one
that isn’t your fault
- you and your
passengers can be hurt. Being a good
driver doesn’t protect you from
things beyond your control, such as
bad drivers. Most accidents occur
within
25 miles (40 lun) of home.
And the greatest number
of serious
injuries and deaths occur at speeds
of less than
40 mph (65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
Q: If I’m a good driver, and I never
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to Run or Start,
a light will come on for about eight
seconds to remind people to fasten
their safety belts. Unless the driver’s
safety belt is already buckled, a tone
will also sound.

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.
