1996 OLDSMOBILE AURORA change time

Operating the RECIRC mode in cold temperatures or
under high humidity conditions may cause moisture to
form on the inside of the windshield. If this condition
occurs, deselect the RECIRC button.
A/C ON: Press this button to turn the air conditioning
on and off. If the system is operating in the automatic
mode, the A/C
ON indicator light will automatically
illuminate.
In the auto mode, the A/C compressor will
only operate when the system determines it is needed.
OFF: Rotate the AUTO-PUSH knob to the OFF
position. Turning the system off will cause the fan to
turn off and the airflow to be directed out the lower floor
outlets. The system will still try to keep the interior of
the vehicle at the previously chosen comfort setting. The
outside temperature will show in the display when the
system is
OFF.
Air Conditioning
The air conditioner cools, dehumidifies and filters the
air for the inside of the vehicle.
The air conditioning compressor is enabled in all
modes unless the A/C
ON button is in the off position
(indicator light will not be illuminated). However, the
air conditioning compressor will not operate when the
outside temperature is below 44°F
(7 "C). When the
air conditioner is on, you may sometimes notice slight
changes in your vehicle's engine speed and power. This
is normal, because the system is designed to cycle the
compressor on and off
to keep the desired cooling and
help fuel economy.
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let
the hot
air out. This reduces the time required to cool the
interior of the vehicle to a comfortable level.
If the
system is in the automatic mode (AUTO-PUSH knob
indicator light
is on), during very hot days the system
will automatically
go to the RECIRC mode and the
temperature door will
be positioned at the full cold position
for maximum cooling. You can choose the extreme comfort setting of
60°F ( 16 " C), but the system will not cool any
faster by choosing the extreme comfort setting.

Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK” is designed to discourage theft of your
radio. It works by using a secret code
to disable all radio
functions whenever battery power is removed.
The THEFTLOCK feature for the radio may be used or
ignored. If ignored, the system plays normally and the
radio
is not protected by the feature. If THEFTLOCK is
activated, your radio will not operate if stolen.
When THEFTLOCK is activated, the radio will display
LOC to indicate a locked condition anytime battery
power
is removed. If your battery loses power for any
reason, you must unlock the radio with the secret code
before it will operate.
Activating the Theft-Deterrent Feature
The instructions which follow explain how to enter your
secret code to activate the THEFTLOCK system. It is
recommended that
you read through all nine steps
before starting the procedure.
NOTE:
If you allow more than 15 seconds to elapse
between any steps, the radio automatically reverts to
time and you must start the procedure over at Step
4.
ProCarManuals.com

Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need
to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease
stopping distance.
If you get too close to the vehicle in
front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes
if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave
enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have
anti-lock brakes.
Using Anti-Lock
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
and let anti-lock work for you. You may hear a motor or
clicking noise during a hard stop, but this is normal.
Traction Control System
Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel
spin.
This is especially useful in slippery road conditions.
The system operates only
if it senses that one or both of
the front wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction.
When
this happens, the system works the front brakes and
reduces engine power to limit wheel spin.
TRACTION
ACTIVE
This light will come on
when your traction control
system is limiting wheel
spin. See “Traction Control
System Active Light”
in the
Index.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this is
normal.
If your vehicle
is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may
re-engage the cruise control. (See “Cruise Control” in
the Index.)
