2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette sensor

2-119
When shifting into REVERSE (R) and an object is
detected, one of the following will occur:
A chime will sound the first time an object is detected,
if the object is between 20 inches (0.5 cm) and
5 feet (1.5 m) away.
Rear parking assist can detect objects 3 inches (7.6 cm)
and wider, and at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) tall, but it
cannot detect objects that are above liftgate level.
In order for the rear sensors to recognize an object,
it must be within operating range.If the rear parking assist system is not functioning
properly, the display will flash red, indicating that there
is a problem unless, the disable switch is on. The light
will also flash red when shifting into REVERSE (R)
if a trailer was attached to your vehicle, or if a bicycle
or an object was on the back of, or hanging out of
your liftgate during your last drive cycle. The light will
continue to flash, whenever in REVERSE (R), until the
vehicle is driven forward at least at 15 mph (25 km/h)
without any obstructions behind the vehicle.
It may also flash red if the ultrasonic sensors are not
kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free
of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush or the system may
not work properly. If after cleaning the rear bumper and
driving forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h), the display
continues to flash red, see your dealer.
It will also flash red if your vehicle is moving in
REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Other conditions that may affect system performance
include things like the vibrations from a jackhammer or
the compression of air brakes on a very large truck.
As always, drivers should use care when backing up
a vehicle. Always look behind you, being sure to
check for other vehicles, obstructions and blind spots.
For cleaning instructions, see ªCleaning Your Vehicleº
in the Index.

EJT: Press this button located next to the cassette
slot to remove a tape. The radio will play. EJT may be
activated with the radio off. Cassette tapes may be
loaded with the radio off if this button is pressed first.
CLEAN: If this message appears on the display, the
cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still play
tapes, but you should clean it as soon as possible to
prevent damage to the tapes and player. See ªCare of
Your Cassette Tape Playerº in the Index. After you clean
the player, press and hold the cassette eject button for
five seconds to reset the CLEAN indicator. The radio
display will display CLEANED to show the indicator
was reset.
Tight/Loose Tape Sensor Defeat
With the radio off and the ignition on, press and hold the
TAPE CD button to disable the tight/loose tape sensing
feature to enable play of some tape head cleaners and
portable CD adapters. The radio will display READY
and flash the cassette icon. The tight/loose tape sensing
feature will then be disabled until the next time a
cassette is ejected.Playing a Compact Disc
Insert a disc partway into the slot, label side up.
The player will pull it in. The disc should begin playing.
The display will show the CD symbol. If you want to
insert a compact disc with the ignition off, first press
DISP or EJT.
If you're driving on a very rough road or if it's very hot,
the disc may not play and CHECK CD may appear
on the display. When the road becomes smooth or the
temperature returns to normal, the disc should play.
If the disc comes out, it could be one of the following:

The disc is upside down.

It is dirty, scratched or wet.

It is very humid. (If so, wait about an hour
and try again.)
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, please contact your dealer.
