1998 Oldsmobile Achieva park assist

Trunk Release: The trunk will unlock anytime the
vehicle symbol on the transmitter is pressed and
the ignition is
OFF. If the ignition is on, the trunk
will unlock if the gear selector is in PARK
(P) or
NEUTRAL
(N) . The interior lamps will come on
for
40 seconds or until the ignition switch is turned
to the
ON position.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote lock control 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 your retailer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle, Each vehicle can have only two transmitters
matched to
it.
You can match your transmitter to as many 1998
General Motors vehicles as you own, as long as they
have the same Remote Lock Control system. Contact
your retailer for assistance with this.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote lock
control transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is 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 battery.
I NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any
of the circuitry. Static from your
body transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to lock it up and take your keys.
But what if you have to leave your key?

If possible, park in a busy, well lit area.

trunk or glove box. Be sure to close and lock the
storage area.
Close all windows.
Slide the remote trunk release lockout switch all
the way to the right.
Lock the glove box.

Passlock@
Your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock
theft-deterrent system. During normal
operation, the SECURITY light will
go
off after the engine is started.
If the engine stalls
and the SECURITY light flashes,
wait until the light stops flashing before trying to restart
the engine. Remember to release the key from the
START position as soon as the engine starts.
If you are driving and the SECURITY light comes
on, you will be able to restart the engine if you turn
the engine
off. However, your Passlock system is
not working properly and must be serviced by your
retailer. Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock at this
time. You may also want to check the fuse (see “Fuses
and Circuit Breakers” in the Index). See your retailer
for service.
If the SECURITY light comes on while the engine is
running, a problem has been detected and the system
may need service. See your retailer for service.
In an emergency, call the Oldsmobile Roadside
Assistance Center at
1-800-442-OLDS (6537).
Passlock is a passive theft-deterrent system. The system
is armed once the key is removed from the ignition.
Passlock enables fuel
if the ignition lock cylinder is
turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not used,
fuel is disabled.
