The Power
of
Intelligent Engineering
Engineering with a purpose. It’s at
the heart of every Oldsmobile. Your new
Oldsmobile continues a 96-year tradition
of engineering excellence.
That tradition was born in Lansing,
Michigan, on August
2
1,
189
7,
when
Ransom
E.
Olds began building a
horseless carriage “in
as
nearly a perfect
manner
as
possible.” Soon, Oldsmobiles
rolled off the nation’s first assembly line.
Innovation and refinement have
always set Oldsmobiles apart.
In 1939,
Oldsmobile introduced the celebrated
Hydra-Matic transmission, a four-speed
forerunner
of
today’s advanced systems.
In
1948, the high-spirited Rocket
V8
engine set standards for performance.
c
A
Step Ahead
In
1966, Toronado made front-wheel-
anve news, including
Motor
Trend’s “Car
of
the Year.” Still breaking new ground.
the 1974 “Toro” became the first car
equipped with a production “air bag.”
Recent Oldsmobile engineering has
created exciting advancements like the
responsive Quad
4
engine. Versions
of
the 4-cylinder, 16-valve Quad 4 propelled
Oldsmobiles on roads and racetracks
to new standards
of economy and
performance.
Today, the all-wheel-drive security

Safety Warnings and Symbols
You will find a number of safety
cautions in this book. We use yellow
and the word CAUTION to tell you
about things that could hurt you
if
you were to ignore the warning.
You will also find a red circle with
a
slash through it in this book. This
safety symbol means:

Also,

you what the hazard is. Then we tell
these blue notices:
you what to do to help avoid or
reduce the hazard. Please read these
cautions. If you don’t, you or others
could be hurt.
In the blue notice area, we tell you
about something that can damage
your vehicle.
Many
times, this damage
would not be covered by your
warranty, and it could be costly. But
the notice
will
tell you what to
do
to
help avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals, you
might see CAUTION and NOTICE
warnings in different colors or
in
different words. In this manual, we’ve
used the familiar words and colors
that Oldsmobile
has
used for years.
You’ll also see warning labels on your
vehicle. They use the same colors,
and the words CAUTION or NOTICE.

This section
tells
you about the

how to adjust them-and
also
about
reclining
seatbacks and head restraints.
Manual Front Seat
You can lose control of the
-
vehicle if
you
try to adjust
a
manual driver’s seat while the
vehicle is moving. The sudden
movement could startle and
confuse you, or make you push
a
pedal when you don’t want to.
Adjust the driver’s seat
only
when
the vehicle is not moving.
I
Move the
control
lever under the front
of
the seat
to
unlock
it. Slide the
seat
to
where you want
it.
Then
release
the
lever and
try
to
move the seat
with
your
body, to make
sure
the seat
is
locked
into
place.
Manus/

Manual Reclining Seatback
To
adjust the seatback, lift the lever on
the outer side
of
the seat and move the
seatback where you want it. Release the
lever to lock the seatback.
Pull up
on
the lever and the seat will
go
to an upright position.
Don’t have a seatback reclined,
however,
if
your vehicle
is
moving.
Sitting
in
a
reclined
position
when
pur
vehicle
is
in
motion
can
be
I
dangerous.
Even
if
you
buckle
up,
your
shty
belts
can’t
do
their
job
wnen
you’re
reclined
like
this.
The
shoulder
beIt
can’t
do
its
job
because
it
won’t
be
against
your
body.
Instead,
it
will
be
in
front
of
you.
In
a
cmh
you
could
go
into
it,
receiving
neck
or
other
injuries.
The
lap
belt
can’t
do
its
job
either.
In
a
crash
the
belt
could
go
up
mer
your
abdomen.
The
belt
forces
would
be
there,
not
at
your
pelvic
bones.
This
could
cause serious
internal
injuries.
For
proper
protectiun
when
the
vehicle
is
in
motion,
haye
the
seat?mck
upright.
Then
sit
well
back
in
the
seat
and
wear
your
snfkty
belt
properly.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down
so
that the top of the restraint is closest to
the top of your ears.
This
position reduces the chance of a
neck injury in a crash.
Front Seatback Latches
(2-DOOR MODELS)
The front seatback folds forward to let
people get into the back seat. Your
seatback will move back and forth
freely, unless you come to a sudden
stop. Then it will lock into place.
There’s one time the front seats may not
fold without some help from you. That’s
if your vehicle is parked facing down a
fairly steep hill.
To
fold a front seatback forward, push
the seatback toward the rear seat as you
lift this latch. Then the seatback will
fold forward. The latch must be down
for the seat to work properly.
Easy-Entry Seat
(2-DOOR MODELS)
The right front seat of your vehicle
makes
it easy to get in and out of the
rear seat.
When
you
tilt the right front seatback
fully forward, the whole seat will slide
forward.
After someone gets into the
rear
seat
area, move the right front seatback to
its original position. Then move the
seat rearward until it locks.

For
Everyone
This
part
of
the manual tells you
how
to
use safety belts properly.
It
also tells you
some
things
you
should not do with
safety belts.
CAUTION
A
Don’t let anyone ride where
‘hey can’t wear a safety belt
yluycrly. If you are in a crash and
you’re not wearing a safety belt,
your injuries can be
much
worse.
You can hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected from
it.
You
can be seriously injured or killed.
In the same crash, you might not
be if you are buckled up. Always
fasten your safety belt, and check
that your passengers’ belts are
fastened properly too.
This figure lights up when you turn the
key to
Run
or
Start
when your safety
belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a
chime, too. It’s the reminder to buckle
up. In many states and Canadian
provinces, the law says to wear safety
belts. Here’s why:
They
work.
You never know
if
you’ll be in a crash.
If you do have a crash, you don’t know
if
it
will be a bad one.
A few crashes are very mild.
In
them,
you won’t get
hurt
even if you’re not
buckled up. And some crashes can be so
serious, like being hit by a train, that
even buckled up a person wouldn’t
survive. But most crashes are
in
between. In many of them, people who
buckle
up
can survive and sometimes
walk away. Without belts they could be
badly hurt or killed.
After
25
years of safety belts
in
vehicles,
the facts are clear. In most crashes
buckling up does matter.
