4 Hazard Warning Flashers
Your hazard warning flashers let you
warn others. They also let police know
you have a problem. Your front and real
turn signal lights will flash on and
off.
4 Jump Starting
If your battery has run down, you may
want to use another vehicle and some
jumper cables to start your Oldsmobile.
But please follow the steps below to do
it safely.
-
Slide the switch up to make your front
and rear turn signal lights flash on and
off.
Your hazard warning flashers work no
matter what position your key is in, and
even
if the key isn't in.
To turn off the flashers, slide the switch
down.
When the hazard warning flashers are
on, your turn signals won't work.
4 Other Warning Devices
If you carry reflective triangles, you can
set one up at the side of the road about
300 feet (100 m) behind your vehicle.

To Jump Start Your Oldmob!le:
1. Checkthe otber vehicle.. It must have
a 1.2-volt battery with a negative
ground system,
NOTICE:
Ifthe other system isn’t a 12-vdt
1 .system with a negative grouad,
, both vehicles can be. damagd.
4. Open the h0od.s and locate the
batteries.

Find the positive (+) and negative
(-) terminals on each battery. Your
Oldsmobile has a remote positive
(+)
jump starting terminal. The terminal
is on the same side
of the engine
compartment as your battery.
You should always use the remote
positive
(+) terminal instead of the
positive
(+) terminal on your battery.
To uncover the remote positive
(+)
terminal, lift the red plastic cap.
5. Check that the jumper cables don’t
have loose or missing insulation.
If
they do, you could get a shock. The
vehicles could be damaged, too. Before
you connect
the cables, here
are some basic things
you should
know. Positive
(+) will go to positive
(+) and negative (-) will go to
negative
(-) or a metal engine part.
Don’t connect
(+) to (-) or you’ll get
a short that would damage the
battery and maybe other parts, too.
