The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it's more
likely that the fetus won't be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
To learn how to wear the right front passenger's
safety belt properly, see ªDriver Positionº earlier
in this section.
The right front passenger's safety belt works the same
way as the driver's safety belt
-- except for two things.
If the belt stops before it reaches the buckle, tilt the latch
plate and keep pulling until you can buckle the belt.
On some vehicles, if you pull the shoulder portion of the
belt out all the way, you will engage the child restraint
locking feature. If this happens, just let the belt go back
all the way and start again.

1-27 Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.
There are parts of the air bag system in several places
around your vehicle. You don't want the system to
inflate while someone is working on your vehicle. Your
dealer and the service manual have information about
servicing your vehicle and the air bag system. To
purchase a service manual, see ªService and Owner
Publicationsº in the Index.
CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service. You
can be injured if you are close to an air bag when
it inflates. Avoid yellow connectors. They are
probably part of the air bag system. Be sure to
follow proper service procedures, and make sure
the person performing work for you is qualified
to do so.
The air bag system does not need regular maintenance.
Rear Seat Passengers
It's very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear
seat are hurt more often in crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren't safety belted can be thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.

Keys
CAUTION:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition
key is dangerous for many reasons. A child or
others could be badly injured or even killed.
They could operate the power windows or
other controls or even make the vehicle move.
Don't leave the keys in a vehicle with children.

2-5
Your vehicle comes with two master keys and one spare
key. The master key can be used for the ignition, as well
as all door locks, trunk and storage compartments.
The third key is provided as a spare key.These keys don't have key plugs. Your Oldsmobile
dealer has a code for your key and can assist you if you
need a new key. In an emergency, contact Oldsmobile
Roadside Assistance. See ªRoadside Assistanceº in
the Index for more information.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of features that can
help prevent theft. But you can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your key inside. You may have to damage
your vehicle to get in. So be sure you have an
extra key.

2-6
Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

Passengers -- especially children -- can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked,
the handle won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash if the doors aren't locked.
So, wear safety belts properly and lock
the doors whenever you drive.

Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.

Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or stop
your vehicle. Locking your doors can help
prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your key or keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).
From the inside, use the manual lever. Each door has
a lever that works only on that door's lock. The lever
won't unlock or lock all the doors. Push the lever
rearward to unlock and forward to lock.

2-7 Power Door Locks
Press the power door lock
switch located on either
front door near the handle to
lock or unlock all the doors.
The rear doors do not have power door lock switches.
Push the manual lever rearward to unlock and forward
to lock.
Last Door Closed Locking
This feature allows the doors to be locked while the
passengers are leaving the vehicle. This also provides
a brief time period after all the doors are closed,
but before the doors lock, in which the doors may
be reopened.
Last door closed locking is activated by either the
power door lock switch inside the vehicle or by pressing
LOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped). After pressing the power door lock
switch once, three chimes will be heard. The three
chimes indicate that the last door closed locking has
been activated.
If you wish to let the last door closed locking feature
complete the locking cycle, no additional action is
required. The last door closed locking feature will lock
the doors automatically after all the doors have been
closed for a period of five seconds. During this
five second period, any door may be reopened.
You can customize or disable the last door closed
locking feature. If disabled, the doors will lock
immediately when a power door lock switch is pressed.
