Vehicle theft is big business, especially
in some cities. Although your
Oldsmobile has a number of theft
deterrent features, we lmow 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
transaxle. 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 trunk or glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
PASS-Key@ll
Your vehicle is equipped with the
PASS-ICey@II (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft
deterrent system. PASS-ICey@II is a
passive theft deterrent system. This
means you don’t have to do anything
different to arm or disarm the system. It
worlts when you insert or remove the
ltey from the ignition. PASS-I uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Keys11 system senses
that someone is using the wrong ltey, it
shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel
systems. For about three minutes, the
starter won’t work and fuel won’t go to
the engine. If someone tries to start
your vehicle again or uses another key
during this time, the vehicle will not
start. This discourages someone
from
randomly trying different keys with
different resistor pellets in an attempt to
make
a match. The
ignition key must be clean and dry
before it’s inserted in the ignition
or the
engine may not start. If the engine does
not start and the
SECURITY light is
on, the key may be dirty or wet. Turn
the ignition
off.
Clean and dry the ltey. Wait about three
minutes and try again. The security
light may remain on during this time. If
the starter still won’t work, and the ltey
appears to be clean and dry, wait about
three minutes and try the other ignition
ltey. At this time, you may also want to
check the fuses (see
Fuses G Circuit
Breakers
in the Index). If the starter
won’t work with the other ltey, your
vehicle needs service. If your vehicle
does start, the first ignition key may be
faulty. See your Oldsmobile dealer
or a
locksmith who can service the PASS-
I If you accidentally use a ltey that has a
damaged or missing resistor pellet, the
starter won’t work, and the
SECURITY light will come on. But you
don’t have to wait three minutes before
trying one
of the other ignition keys.

Convenience Net (OPTION)

Put
small loads, like grocery bags,

4 New ‘vehicle ‘Break=In”
NOTICE:
Your modern Oldsmobile doesn’t
need an elaborate “break-in.” But it
will perform better
in the long run
if
you follow these guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed -
fast or slow - for the first 500
miles (804 lm) . Don’t make full-
throttle
starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the
first
200 miles (322 km) or so.
During this time your new brake
linings aren’t yet broken in. Hard
stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier
replacement.
Follow this
“brealing-in” guideline
every
time you get new brake linings.

ACCES

I Ijyzition Switch
NOTICE:
If your ltey seems stuck in Lock
and you can’t turn it, be sure it is
all the way in.
If it is, then turn the
steering wheel left and right while
you turn the key hard. But turn the
ltey
only with your hand. Using a
tool to force it could break the ltey
or the ignition switch. If none of
this worlcs, then your vehicle needs
service.

start your vehicle.
Run: An “on” position to which the
switch returns after you start your
engine and release the switch. The
switch stays in the
Run position when
the engine is running. But even when
the engine is not running, you can use

accessories, and to display some instru-
ment panel warning lights.

ignition switch will return to
Run for
normal driving.
Note that even if the engine
is not
running, the positions
Accessory and
Run are “on” positions that allow you to
operate your electrical accessories,
such as the radio.
Starting Your Engine
Engines start differently. The 8th digit
of your Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) shows the code letter or number
for your engine. You will find the VIN
at the top left of your instrument panel.
(See
Vehicle Identification Number in
the
Index.) Follow the proper steps to
start the engine.
Move your shift lever to
P (Park) or N
(Neutral). Your engine won’t start in
any other position
- that’s a safety
feature. To restart when you’re already
moving, use
N (Neutral) only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to P (Park) if your
Oldsmobile is moving.
If you do,
you could damage the transaxle.
Shift to
P (Park) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
