Suppose you set your cruise control at
a desired speed
and then
you apply the brake or clutch pedal. This, of
course, shuts off the cruise control. But you don’t need
to reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 kdh)
or more, you can move the cruise control switch from
ON to RES/ACC (Resume/Accelerate) for about half a
second.
You’ll go right back up
to your chosen speed and stay
there.

Also, if your vehicle is left with the ignition turned off
for over 24 days, battery power to your clock, audio
system and Remote
Lock Control (if you have this
option) will be turned
off to reduce battery drain. When
the ignition is turned on again, battery power will
be
resupplied. However, under these conditions, it will be
necessary to reset the clock and audio system settings.

Speedometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Tamper-Resistant Odometer
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven, in either miles (used
in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).
Your Oldsmobile has a tamper-resistant odometer.
If you
see silver lines between the numbers, you’ll know that
someone
has probably tried to turn it back, so the
numbers may not be true.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed.
If the new one can be set to the
mileage total
of the old odometer, then it must be. But if
it can’t, then it’s set at zero and a label must be put on
the driver’s door to show the old mileage reading when
the new odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven
since you last reset it.
To reset the trip odometer to zero,
press the knob to
the right of the gage.

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
‘A CHECK
OAQES
With the anti-lock
brake system,
this
light will come on
when you start your
engine and it will stay
on for
three seconds.
That’s normal.
If the
light doesn’t come
on, have it fiied
so it
will be ready to warn
you
if there is a
problem.
If the light flashes when you’re driving, you don’t have
anti-lock brakes and there could be a problem with your
regular brakes. Pull
off the road and stop carefully. You
may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal
may go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop.
Have the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your
Vehicle” in the Index.)
If the anti-lock brake system warning light stays on
longer than normal after you’ve started your engine,
turn
the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on and stays on
when you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn
the ignition
off. Then start the engine again to reset the
system.
If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you’re driving, your Oldsmobile needs service.
If
the light is on but not flashing and the regular brake
system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but
you don’t have anti-lock brakes.
