Turn Signal and Lane Change
lndicafor
The turn signal has two upward (for
Right) and two downward (for Left)
positions. These positions allow you to
signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the
way up or down. When the turn is
finished, the lever will return
automatically.

A green arrow on the instrument panel
will flash in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or
lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if
the arrows don’t flash but just stay on, a
signal bulb may be burned out and
other drivers won’t see your turn signal. If
a bulb is burned out, replace it to help
avoid an accident. If the green arrows
don’t go on at all when you signal a
turn, check the fuse (see the
Index
under Fuses G Circuit Breakers) and
for burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with
added wiring for the trailer lights, a
different turn signal flasher is used.
With this flasher installed, the signal
indicator will flash even
if a turn signal
bulb is burned out. Check the front and
rear turn signal lights regularly to make
sure they are working.

Use the adjustable tiedown loops in the
side rails
to help secure large loads.
Reposition the tiedowns by turning
them counterclockwise, then slide them
along the side rail. Turn the tiedowns
cloclnvise
to tighten them in place.
Tiedowns may be removed and used in
the adjustable tapped plates in the
crossrails.
You may also use these
tapped plates to secure bicycle or ski
racks.
Electronic Level Control (OPTION)
With this option, the rear of the vehicle
automatically adjusts to changes in load
weight. (See the
Index under Loading
Your Vehicle.)
You may hear the compressor operating
when you load or unload your vehicle,
and periodically
as the system self-
adjusts. This is normal. The compressor
should operate for brief
periods of time. If the sound continues
for an extended period
of time, your
vehicle needs service. To keep your
battery from being drained, you may
want to pull the 20-amp
ELC fuse in the
fuse control panel until you can get
your vehicle serviced (see the
Index
under Fuses G Circuit Breakers).

Ad-On Electrical Equiprnent
NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to
your Oldsmobile unless you check
with your dealer first. Some electrical
equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be
covered by your warranty. Some
add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from
working as they should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system.
Before attempting to add anything
electrical to your Oldsmobile, see
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped
Oldsmobile
in the Index.
Fuses & Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are
protected from short circuits
by a
:ombination of fuses and circuit
breakers in the wiring itself. This greatly
reduces the chance of damage caused
by electrical problems.
To identify and check fuses, refer to the
Fuse panel, which is behind the
glove
box door, and the fuse usage chart later
in this section.
To remove a fuse, grasp it firmly and
pull.
U
Look at the silver-colored band inside
the fuse.
If the band is broken or
melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the
correct size.
