Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also,
in
this
book you
will
find
these blue notices:
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.
Vehicle

Seats

Safety
Belts
Seatback Latches
In 2-door Oldsmobiles, the front seat
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 in place.
There’s one time the seatback may not
fold without some help from you. That’s
if
your vehicle is parked facing
down
a
fairly steep hill.
To fold a seatback forward, push the
seatback toward the rear as you lift this
latch. Then the seatback will fold
forward. The latch must be
down
for
the seat to work properly.

To
Open:

on
the seat tab.
To
Close:
Push the seatback up to its
original position.
Check latch resistance regularly by
pulling on the seat tab. If the seatback
does not latch securely, have it repaired
right away.
A
loose seatback
can

an
injury in a sudden stop.

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
Don’t let anyone ride where
they can’t wear a safety belt
properly.
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 lmow if you’ll be in a crash.
If you do have a crash, you don’t how
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
buclde 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
