@ What's wrong with  this? 
A: The belt is twisted across the body. 
A CAUTION: 
You  can  be  seriously  injured  by a  twisted  belt.  In 
a crash,  you  wouldn't  have  the  full  width  of  the 
belt  to  spread  impact  forces.  If  a  belt  is  twisted, 
make  it  straight 
so it  can  work  properly,  or  ask 
your  retailer  to 
fix it.

Replace any  wheel  that  is  bent,  cracked, or badly  rusted 
or  corroded.  If wheel  nuts  keep  coming  loose,  the  wheel, 
wheel  bolts and  wheel  nuts should  be  replaced. If the 
wheel  leaks air,  replace  it (except  some  aluminum 
wheels,  which  can  sometimes  be  repaired). See your 
Oldsmobile  retailer if any  of these  conditions exist. 
Your  retailer  will  know  the  kind 
of wheel  you  need. 
Each  new  wheel  should  have  the  same  load-carrying 
capacity,  diameter,  width,  offset  and  be  mounted  the  same  way as  the  one  it replaces. 
If you  need  to replace  any  of your  wheels,  wheel  bolts 
or  wheel  nuts,  replace them  only  with  new 
GM original 
equipment 
parts. This  way,  you  will  be sure to  have  the 
right  wheel,  wheel  bolts  and  wheel  nuts  for your 
Oldsmobile  model. 
L 
Using  the wrong  replacement  wheels,  wheel  bolts 
or  wheel  nuts on your  vehicle  can  be  dangerous. 
It  could  affect  the brakin.g  and handling  of your 
vehicle,  make your tires  lose air and  make  you 
lose  control. 
You could  have a collision in which 
you  or others  could  be  injured. Always  use 
the correct  wheel,  wheel  bolts  and wheel  nuts 
for  replacement. 
NOTICE: 
The  wrong  wheel  can  also  cause  problems  with 
bearing  life, brake  cooling,  speedometer  or 
odometer calibration, headlamp  aim, bumper 
height,  vehicle  ground clearance and  tire or tire 
chain clearance to the  body and chassis. 
See “Changing  a Flat Tire”  in  the  Index for more 
information.
