Automatic  Door  Locks 
Just close your  doors  and  turn  on  the  ignition. All of the 
doors  will  lock  when  you  move  your  shift lever out of 
PARK  (P) or NEUTRAL  (N).  All  doors will  unlock 
automatically  when  the ignition is turned 
off. 
If  someone  needs  to  get  out  while the vehicle  is 
running, have  that  person  use  the manual  or power  lock. 
When  the door  is closed again, it  will  lock  automatically 
as  long  as the  shift  lever  is  out of  PARK  (P)  or 
NEUTRAL  (N)  and  the ignition is  on.  Note that the 
door  must  be  opened, then closed, 
or the  door  will  not 
automatically  relock. 
If  you  don’t  want  the doors to  unlock  automatically 
when  you 
turn the  ignition off, you  can  remove  the Lock 
Control fuse  in the  instrument panel  fuse block.  See 
“Fuses  and  Circuit  Breakers” in the Index. 
Leaving  Your  Vehicle 
If you  are  leaving the vehicle, take  your keys,  open  your 
door  and  set the  locks  from  inside. Then  get  out  and 
close the  door. 
Remote Lock Control  (Option) 
If your Oldsmobile  has  this option, you can lock  and 
unlock  your  doors  or unlock  your’trunk  from  up to 
30 feet (9 m) away  using  the key  chain  transmitter 
supplied  with  your  vehicle.

radio  frequency  subject  to  Federal Communications 
Commission  (FCC)  Rules. 
This device  complies  with  Part 15 of  the  FCC  Rules.

Operation 
Press UNLOCK  once to unlock  the driver’s  door. Press 
UNLOCK again  within  five seconds to  unlock all the 
doors.  The  interior  lamps will come on (see “Illuminated 
Entry”  in  the Index  for more details). 
To lock  all doors, press DOOR. To unlock  the  trunk, 
press  the  vehicle symbol  on the  transmitter.  The trunk 
will  only  unlock 
if your  transaxle is  in PARK (P). 
Matching  Transmitter(s) 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  retailer.  Remember  to  bring  any  remaining 
transmitters  with  you  when  you 
go to  your  retailer. 
When  the retailer  matches  the  replacement transmitter  to 
your  vehicle,  any remaining transmitters  must also be 
matched.  Once  the new  transmitter  is coded,  the lost 
transmitter will  not  unlock  your  vehicle.  Each vehicle 
can have  only  two transmitters  matched  to it. 
Battery  Replacement I 
Under  normal  use,  the batteries in  your  key  chain 
transmitter  should last about  two  years. 
You  can tell the batteries are  weak  if the transmitter 
won’t  work  at the  normal range  in  any location.  If you 
have to  get close  to  your  vehicle before  the transmitter 
works,  it’s  probably  time to change  the batteries.

‘ Starting Your Engine 
Move  your shift lever to PARK (P) or  NEUTRAL, (N). 
Your  engine  won’t  start  in any  other  position -- that’s  a 
safety  feature. 
To restart  when  you’re  already  moving, 
use  NEUTRAL  (N)  only. 
NOTICE: 
Don’t  try  to  shift  to  PARK (P) if your  Oldsmobile 
is  moving. 
If you  do, you  could  damage  the 
transaxle.  Shift  to  PARK 
(P) only  when your 
vehicle  is stopped.

ignition  key 
to START.  When  the  engine  starts, let

the key.  The idle  speed  will  go down  as your 
engine  gets  warm.

I NOTICE: 
Your  engine  is  designed  to  work with the 
electronics  in  your  vehicle. If you  add  electrical 
parts  or  accessories,  you could  change  the  way 
the  engine  operates.  Before  adding  electrical 
equipment,  check  with  your  retailer. 
If you  don’t, 
your  engine  might  not  perform properly. 
If you ever  have  to  have  your  vehicle towed, see 
the  part  of this  manual  that  tells how  to  do  it 
without  damaging  your  vehicle.  See “Towing 
Your  Vehicle”  in the  Index.
