1998 OLDSMOBILE SILHOUETTE fold seats

Cupholders Storage Bin
There are cupholders on the inboard side of the front
passenger’s seat and the right side
of the second row
bench seat.
To use the cupholders, simply pull down the tray. Keep
the trays up when not in use.
Your vehicle has storage compartments and cupholders
on either side of the vehicle, next to the third row seats.
The seatbacks have cupholders that can be used when
the seatbacks are folded down. At
the base
of the center instrument panel console, there
is a storage bin. To open the bin, lift the latch release
and the door will fold down.
Inside the bin, you will find a tray that slides out. Slide
the tray all the way toward the rear of the vehicle until
the tray locks onto the plastic tabs at the end of the guide
rails. The tray holds
CDs or cassettes in the center area.
You can also store cassettes in the left side area. The
right side area can hold either the coinholder, which lifts
out, or another cassette. The tray can be removed for
cleaning or when you want to replace the selection
of
CDs or cassettes. Slide the tray back into the storage bin
before closing the bin door. The tray can also be placed
in the glove box for locked storage if desired.

/I CAL TION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or in
a crash.
0 Put things in the cargo area of your vehicle.
Try to spread the weight evenly.
0 Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle
so that some of them are
above the tops
of the seats.
0 Don’t leave an unsecured child restraint in
your vehicle.
0 When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
0 Don’t leave a seat folded down unless you
need to.
Electronic Level Control (Option)
On vehicles equipped with the optional electronic level
control, the rear of the vehicle is automatically kept
level as you load or unload your vehicle. However, you
should still not exceed the
GVWR or the GAWR.
You may hear the compressor operating when you load
or unload your vehicle, and periodically as the system
self-adjusts. This is normal.
The compressor should operate for brief periods
of time.
If the sound continues for an extended period of time,
your vehicle needs service.
To keep your battery from
being drained, you may want to remove the
ELC fuse in
the fuse control panel until you can have your vehicle
serviced (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index.)
Using heavier suspension components to get added
durability might not change your weight ratings. Ask
your retailer to help you load your vehicle the right way.
