1-3 Memory Seat (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature the controls are
located on the driver's door
armrest, and are used to
program and recall memory
settings for the driver's
seating and outside
mirror positions.
Adjust the driver's seat (including the seatback recliner
and lumbar) and both of the outside mirrors to the desired
position. Then press and hold button 1 (for driver 1) for
three seconds. A chime will sound to let you know that
the position has been stored.A second mirror and seating position can be programmed
by repeating the procedure with a second driver and
pressing button 2 for three seconds. Each time button
1 or 2 is pressed and released while the vehicle is in
PARK (P), the memory position will be recalled, if
programmed to do so through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). Each time a memory button is pressed,
a single chime will sound.
If you use the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to enter your vehicle, the preset driver's seat
and mirror positions will be recalled. The numbers on
the back of the transmitters, 1 or 2, correspond to the
numbers on the memory controls.
The seat and mirror positions can also be recalled by
placing the key in the ignition, if programmed to do
so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat controls or
memory buttons.

Driver Position
This part describes the driver's restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here's how to
wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight.
To see how, see ªSeatsº in the Index.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don't let it get twisted.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt isn't long enough, see ªSafety Belt
Extenderº at the end of this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.

Side impact air bags would not help you in many types
of collisions, including frontal or near frontal collisions,
rollovers, and rear impacts, primarily because an
occupant's motion is not toward those air bags.
Air bags should never be regarded as anything more
than a supplement to safety belts, and then only in
moderate to severe frontal or near
-frontal collisions for
the driver's and right front passenger's frontal air bags,
and only in moderate to severe side collisions for the
driver's and right front passenger's side impact air bags.
What will you see after an air bag inflates?
After an air bag inflates, it quickly deflates, so quickly
that some people may not even realize the air bag
inflated. Some components of the air bag module
-- the
steering wheel hub for the driver's air bag, the
instrument panel for the right front passenger's bag, the
side of the seatback closest to the door for the driver and
right front passenger's side impact air bags
-- will be
hot for a short time. The parts of the bag that come into
contact with you may be warm, but not too hot to touch. There will be some smoke and dust coming from the
vents in the deflated air bags. Air bag inflation doesn't
prevent the driver from seeing or being able to steer the
vehicle, nor does it stop people from leaving the vehicle.
CAUTION:
When an air bag inflates, there is dust in the air.
This dust could cause breathing problems
for people with a history of asthma or other
breathing trouble. To avoid this, everyone in the
vehicle should get out as soon as it is safe to do so.
If you have breathing problems but can't get out
of the vehicle after an air bag inflates, then get
fresh air by opening a window or a door.
Your vehicle has a feature that will automatically unlock
the doors and turn the interior lamps on when the air
bags inflate (if battery power is available). You can lock
the doors again and turn the interior lamps off by using
the door lock and interior lamp controls.

2-3 Power Windows
The controls for the power windows are located on the
armrest on each of the side doors. With power windows,
the switches operate the windows when the ignition is
in RUN, ACCESSORY or when Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) is active. (See ªRetained Accessory
Powerº in the Index.) The driver's door has a switch
for each of the passenger's windows as well.
Press the bottom of the switch to lower the window.
Press the top of the switch to raise the window.Express
-Down Window
The driver's and front passenger's window switches
have an express
-down feature that allows you to lower
the window without holding the switch down. Press the
bottom of the driver's window switch down briefly to
activate the express
-down feature. Lightly tap the
switch to open the window slightly. The express
-down
feature can be interrupted at any time by pressing the
top of the switch.
Lockout Switch
Your vehicle has a lockout feature to prevent passengers
from operating the power windows. A small light in the
lockout switch will come on to show that the switch has
been activated. Press the lockout switch again to return
to normal operation.

This vehicle has one
double
-sided key for the
ignition and door locks.
It will fit with either side up.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer provides the
owner with a pair of identical keys and a key code number.The key code number tells your dealer or a qualified
locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep this number in
a safe place. If you lose your keys, you'll be able to have
new ones made easily using this number. Your selling
dealer should also have this number.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. But you can have a lot
of trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your keys inside. You may even have to
damage your vehicle to get in. So be sure you
have extra keys.
If you ever do get locked out of your vehicle, call the
Oldsmobile Roadside Assistance Center. See ªRoadside
Assistanceº in the Index.

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.
You can use the remote keyless entry system.
You can use your key to unlock your door from the outside.
You can lock or unlock the door from the inside by
sliding the manual lever forward or rearward. When the
door is unlocked, you can see a red area on the lever.
The manual lever on each rear door works only that
door's lock.
