Stowable Seat
Your vehicle may have a stowable seat. The stowable
seat is a full bench seat and comes with the convenience
center. See
Convenience Center on page 2-60 for more
information. The stowable seat can be removed and
replaced, or with the seatback folded, it can lie flush with
the convenience center.
Folding the Seatback
If the seatback isn’t locked, it could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
press rearward on the seatback
to be sure it
is locked. To
fold down the seatback,
pull up on the lever located
on the back of the seat
and push the seatback
down until
it is locked
into place.
Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is
locked into place.
To raise the seatback, do one of the following:
From the rear of the vehicle, pull up on the lever to
release the seatback, then pull the strap, located
on the right side of the seat, to pull the seatback up.
The seatback has a patch of hook and loop
fastener to stow the strap on the rear of the seat
when not in use, or
from the passenger’s side sliding door, pull up on
the lever to release the seatback, then push up
on the seatback to raise the seat.
Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is
locked into the upright position.

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 “Seats” in the Index.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let it get twisted.
The shoulder belt may lock
if you pull the belt across
you very quickly.
If this happens, let the belt go back
slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you
more slowly.

If something is between an occupant and an
air bag, the bag might not inflate properly or
it
might force the object into that person causing
severe injury or even death. The path of an
inflating air bag must be kept clear. Don’t put
anything between an occupant and an air bag,
and don’t attach or put anything on the
steering wheel hub or on or near any other air
bag covering. Don’t let seat covers block the
inflation path
of a side impact air bag.
The right front passenger’s side impact air bag is in the
side
of the passenger’s seatback closest to the door.

This key can be used for
the ignition as well as all
door locks, the liftgate
lock and the storage
compartments.
If you need a new key, contact your dealer, who can
obtain the correct key code.
Your vehicle has the PASS-Key@
Ill vehicle theft
system. The key has a transponder in the key head that
matches a decoder in the vehicle’s steering column.
If a replacement key or any additional key is needed,
you must purchase this key from your dealer. The key
will have PK3 stamped on it. Keep the bar code tag that
came with the original keys. Give this tag to your dealer
if you need a new key made. Any new PASS-Key@
Ill key must be programmed
before it will start your vehicle. See
PASS-Kep 111 on
page 2-29
for more information on programming
your new key.
Notice: Your vehicle has a number of features
that can help prevent theft. 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
spare keys.
If you ever do get locked out of your vehicle, call
Oldsmobile Roadside Assistance. See
Roadside
Assistance Program on page 7-5
for more information.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Onstar@ system
with an active subscription and you lock your keys inside
the vehicle, Onstar@ may be able to send a command
to unlock your vehicle. See
OnStap System on
page 2-47
for more information.

Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
You can lock and unlock
your doors and the liftgate
from about
3 feet (1 m)
up to
30 feet (9 m)
away using the remote
keyless entry transmitter
supplied with your vehicle.
UNLOCK: When you press UNLOCK on the remote
keyless entry transmitter, only the driver’s door will
unlock. If you press UNLOCK again within five seconds,
all the doors and the liftgate will unlock.
If you would
like all the doors to unlock the first time you press
UNLOCK, see
Vehicle Personalization on page 2-62.
With the content theft-deterrent system, the UNLOCK
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter will
disarm the system. See
Content Theft-Deterrent on
page
2-27 for more details. When
you use your remote keyless entry transmitter to
unlock your vehicle or to operate the power sliding
door(s), the parking lamps will flash to let you know the
command was received.
If you would like to change the way the parking lamps
operate with remote unlock confirmation, see
Vehicle
Personalization on page 2-62.
LOCK: To lock all doors, press LOCK on the remote
keyless entry transmitter. See
Power Door Locks
on page 2-10 for more details on the power door lock
features. With the content theft-deterrent system,
the LOCK button may arm the system. See
Content
Theft-Deterrent on page 2-27
for more details.
When you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to
lock your vehicle, the parking lamps will flash to let you
know the command has been received. If you press
the LOCK button again, within five seconds, the horn will
sound and the parking lamps will flash to let you know
the vehicle is already locked.
If you would like to change the way the parking lamps
and horn operate with remote lock confirmation,
see
Vehicle Personalization on page 2-62.
