1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Owner's Manuals

Replacing Safety Belts After
a Crash
If you’ve had a crash, do you need new
belts?
After a very minor collision, nothing
may be necessary. But if the belts were
stretched, as they would be if worn
during
a more severe crash, then you
need new belts.
If you ever see a label on a right front
safety belt in 4-dOOr Oldsmobiles that
says to replace the belt, be sure to do
so.
Then the new belt will be there to help
protect you in an accident. You would
see this label on the belt near the door
opening.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace
them. Collision damage also may mean you will need
to have safety belt or seat
parts repaired
or replaced. New parts
and repairs may be necessary even if the
belt wasn’t being used at the time of the
collision.
Q: What’s wrong with this?
A: The belt is torn.
Torn or frayed belts may not protect you
in a crash. They can rip apart under
impact forces.
If a belt is torn or frayed,
get a new one right away.

Keys The ignition keys are for the ignition
only.
The door keys are for the doors and all
Ither loclts. When
a new Oldsmobile is delivered,
the dealer removes the plugs from the
door keys, and gives them to the first
owner.
Each plug has a code on
it that tells
your dealer or a qualified locltsmith
how to make extra door keys. Keep the
plugs in a safe place. If you lose your
door keys, you’ll be able to have new
ones made easily using these plugs.
The ignition keys don’t have plugs.
Your Oldsmobile dealer or Roadside
Assistance has the code for your keys. If
you need a new ignition key, contact
your Oldsrnobile dealer. In an
emergency, contact the Oldsmobile
Roadside Assistance program at
1-800-442-OLDS (6537).
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.

Features & Controls
Power Door Locks
You can lock or unlock all doors of your
vehicle from the driver or passenger
door lock switch.
On 4-dOOr models, the switch on each
rear door works only that door’s lock. It
won’t lock (or unlock) all of the
doors-that’s a safety feature.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from inside, then
get out and close the door.
Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the
ignition. All of the doors will lock when
you move your shift lever out
of P
(Park) or N (Neutral). Each time you
close your doors and turn on the
ignition, the doors will lock
automatically. If someone needs to get
out while the vehicle is running, have
that person use the manual or power
lock. When the door is closed again, it
will lock automatically as long as the
shift lever is out of
P (Park) or N
(Neutral). All doors will automatically
unlock when the ignition is turned off.
If you don’t want the doors to
automatically unlock when you turn the
ignition off, you can remove the Lock
Control fuse in the Component Center.
See the
Index under Fuses G Circuit
Breakers .
Remote Lock Conlrol (OPTION)

can lock and unlock your doors or
