Matching Transmitter@) 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 up to four transmitters
matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to
another vehicle.

This setting cools outside air and
directs it through the instrument panel
outlets. Adjust the temperature of the
air with the temperature control lever.
BI-LEV (Bi-Level): This setting is
designed for use
on sunny days when
the air is only moderately warm or cool.
On days like these, the
sun may
adequately warm your upper body, but
your lower body may not be warm
enough.
The
BI-LEV setting directs outside air
into your vehicle in two ways. Cooler
air is directed toward your upper body
through the front instrument panel
outlets, while warmed air
is directed
through the heater ducts
at your feet.
At times this temperature difference may be
more apparent than others. For
best results, slide the temperature
control lever
to the middle position, and
then adjust for comfort.
LOWER: This setting brings in most
heated air through the heater ducts, and
some through the defroster vents.
DEFOG: Because of your Silhouette’s
larger windshield area, this mode is
particularly useful during cold or
inclement weather. Press to direct
warmed air to the windshield and
through the heater ducts.
DEF (Defrost): Press to direct most
warmed air to the windshield and side
window vents.
To maximize air flow to the rear of your
vehicle, place the left second row
bucket seat in the forward position (see
the
Index under Adjusting Rear Seats).
This uncovers the rear air outlet.
Also keep the area around the base of
the center instrument panel console and
the area between and under the front
seats free of objects that could obstruct
3ir flow to the rear.

Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern
vehicle is complex. Its many parts have
to be of top quality and work well
together
if the vehicle is to have really
good braking. Vehicles we design and
test have top-quality
GM brake parts in
them, as your Oldsmobile does when it
is new. When you replace parts of your
braking system
- for example, when
your brake linings wear down and you
have to have new ones put in
- be sure
you get new genuine
GM replacement
parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no
longer work properly. For example, if
someone puts in brake linings that are
wrong for your vehicle, the balance
between your front and rear brakes can
change,
for the worse. The braking
performance you’ve come to expect can
change in many other ways if someone
puts in the wrong replacement brake
parts.
I Battery
Every new Oldsmobile has a Delco
Freedom@ battery.
You never have to
add water to one of these. When it’s
time for a new battery, we recommend a
Delco Freedom@ battery. Get one that
has the catalog number shown on the
original battery‘s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle
for
25 days or more, take off the black,
negative
(-) cable from the battery. This
will help keep your battery from
running
down.
Contact your dealer to learn how to
prepare your vehicle for longer storage
periods.
