1997 Oldsmobile Aurora change time

Setting the Mirror Time Delay
OFF: This
setting turns off the day/night function and
compass. The mirror will stay in the day mode.
M: This turns on the day/night portion of the mirror to
automatically reduce glare.
C/M: This setting turns on the compass in addition to
the day/night function. The letter or letters displayed in
the top right corner
of the mirror indicate the direction
in which you are traveling. This mirror
has a time delay feature that prevents rapid
changing from the night mode
to the day mode as you
drive under lights and through traffic.
Reverse Gear Day Mode
The reverse mode is another important feature of
the electrochromic mirror. When you shift into
REVERSE (R), the mirror changes to the day mode.
This gives you a bright image in the mirror as you
back up.
Cleaning the Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the
photocells when necessary.

Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped
with “Rolling Codes”
If you programmed the universal transmitter, but the
garage door will not open, and
if your garage door
opener was manufactured after
1995, your garage door
may have a security feature that changes the “code”
of your garage door opener every time it is opened
or closed.
To determine if your garage door opener has this rolling
code feature, press the appropriate button on the
universal transmitter that was programmed. If the red
light flashes rapidly for one to two seconds, then turns
solid, your garage door opener has this feature.
To program a garage door opener with the rolling code
feature, do the following:
1.
2.
3. Program your hand-held
transmitter to the universal
transmitter by following the steps provided under
“Programming the Transmitter” earlier.
Remove the cover panel from
the garage door
opener receiver. It is located near the garage door
opener motor.
Locate the training button on the garage door opener
receiver. The exact location and color will vary
among brands.
4.
5.
6.
Press the training button on the garage door opener
receiver for one to two seconds.
Return to your vehicle and press the programmed
button on the universal transmitter until the red light
flashes rapidly (about two seconds).
Release the button, then press it again
to confirm it
was programmed to the garage door opener receiver.
You may now use either the universal transmitter or the
hand-held transmitter to open your garage door. If
you
still have difficulty in programming and require
assistance, please call your Aurora retailer.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons until the red light begins to flash.
Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be
reprogrammed using the procedure for programming the
transmitter explained earlier.
Accessories
Accessories for your universal transmitter are available
from
the manufacturer of the unit. If you would like
additional information please call 1-800-355-35 15.

When the remaining oil life or transaxle fluid life is low,
the system will alert you with a message:
CHANGE OIL SOON
or CHANGE TRNS
FLUID SOON
When the oil or transaxle fluid life is down to zero, you
will receive
the message:
CHANGE OIL NOW or CHANGE TRNS
FLUID NOW
To reset the OIL LIFE reminder after an oil change or
the TRNS FLUID LIFE reminder after a transaxle
fluid change:
1. With the ignition on, press the ENG button so the
OIL LIFE percentage or the TRNS LIFE percentage
is displayed.
2. Press RESET and hold for five seconds. The word
RESET will appear, then OIL LIFE 100% or TRNS
FLUID 100%.
Remember, you must reset the OIL LIFE or TRNS
FLUID yourself after each oil or transaxle fluid change.
It will not reset itself. Also, be careful not to reset the
OIL LIFE or TRNS FLUID accidentally at any time
other than when the oil or transaxle fluid has just been
changed. It can’t be reset accurately until the next oil or
transaxle fluid change. The
DIC does
not replace the need to maintain your
vehicle
as recommended in the Maintenance Schedule in
this manual.
Also, the oil change reminder will not
detect dusty conditions or engine malfunctions that may
affect the oil.
If you drive in dusty areas, change your oil
after every
3,000 miles (5 000 km) or three months,
whichever occurs first, unless the DIC instructs you to
do so sooner. Also, the oil change reminder does not
measure how much oil you have in your engine.
So, be
sure to check your oil level often. See “Engine Oil” in
the Index.
Check Oil Level Warning
When CHECK OIL LEVEL appears, it indicates that the
engine oil level is
1 to 1 1/2 quarts (0.9 L to 1.4 L) low.
The message will appear only if the engine is running
and it’s been at least eight minutes since the engine was
last running. If the message appears, check the oil
dipstick level. If it reads low, your oil level should be
brought up
to the proper level (see “Engine Oil” in the
Index). After bringing the oil
to the proper level, the
ignition must be off for eight minutes to allow
the
majority of oil to drain into the oil pan.

Elapsed Time (ET)
When the ignition is on, the DIC can be used as a
stopwatch. The display will show hours and minutes.
The elapsed time indicator will record up to
100 hours,
then it will reset to zero and continue counting. Press
ET, and the display will show the amount
of time that
has elapsed since the elapsed time indicator was last
reset (not including time
the ignition is off), such as:
01:08 ELAPSED TIME
To reset elapsed time to zero, press RESET while the
elapsed time is displayed.
Date
Press DATE to display the date. To change the date,
press DATE then RESET. The following display
will appear:
MONTH? XX/DD/YY
MM, DD and YY represent
the month, date and year
you currently have in your system. Check to make sure
your clock is in the correct AM or PM mode. Notice that each
key has a number. Push the key to enter
the number. The first XX’s will flash until you enter the
first digit for the month. You don’t need to enter the
leading zero if the number is under
10. Press ENTER
after you’ve entered the month. The display will
change to:
DAY? MM/XX/YY
Set the day just as you set the month. After the day entry
is made, press ENTER and the display will change to:
YEAR? MM/DD/XX
Set the year just as you set the month and day.
If a valid
date is entered, the display will automatically exit to the
date mode and display the day of the week, the month
and the date. If an invalid date is entered, the display
will return to MONTH? XX/DD/YY and you’ll need
to
repeat the above steps.
After
a battery reconnect (loss of power), the display
will read CONFIRM TIME AND DATE.

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 OFF. 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 set to
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.
