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.

If your Oldsmobile has this option, you can lock and
unlock your doors and liftgate from up to
30 feet (9 m)

For the lock delay feature to work, the ignition and
the interior lamps control (located to the left of the
instrument panel cluster) must
be off. If you wish to
lock the doors with the interior lamps on, press the
lock symbol or the rear of either power door lock
switch twice.
If any door
is open when you press the lock symbol or
the rear
of either power door lock switch, a chime will
sound three times. This indicates that all doors and the
liftgate will lock about five seconds after the last door
has been closed.
To override the lock delay feature, press the lock symbol
or the rear of either power door lock switch again, and
the doors and liftgate will lock immediately. If the
sliding door
is open, it will lock automatically within
five seconds after
it is closed, and the doors and liftgate
will lock again.
To cancel the lock delay feature, press the unlock
symbol
or the front of either power door lock switch.
Remote Operation of the Power Sliding Door
If you have the optional power sliding door (see “Power
Sliding Door” later in this section), your remote
transmitter will have a third button that has
a van
symbol on it. Press it to open or close the sliding door.
If the sliding door is locked, first press
the unlock
symbol twice to unlock all doors, then press the van
symbol to open the sliding door.
You can operate the power sliding door with the remote

To open or close the sliding door, press and release one
of two PWR DOOR switches. There is one mounted
on
the wall, just in front of the sliding door; the other is the
rear-most switch on
the side of the overhead console.
(If you have the compact overhead console, this switch
is located between the reading lamps.) The sliding door must be unlocked
for the power sliding
door to operate. The ignition does not have to be on and
the key does
not have to be in the ignition. To prevent
accidental operation
of the sliding door, disable the
power sliding door by placing
the power sliding door
enable switch in the
OFF position.
When the key is
in the ignition in the RUN position, the
power sliding door will only open if the transaxle is in
PARK
(P). The transaxle does not have to be in PARK
(P) to close the door. If the enable switch is ON and the
power sliding door
is open or in the process of closing
when you shift out of PARK
(P), a tone will sound and
the power sliding door warning light on your instrument
panel will flash (see “Power Sliding Door Warning
Light” in the Index). This is a warning light that the
sliding door is not completely closed.
