ACC
(Accessory)
(B):
This position unlocks the
transaxle. It
also
lets you use things like the radio and
windshield wipers when the engine is not running.
To
use
ACC,
push in the key and turn it to the right. Use
this position if your vehicle must be pushed or towed,
but never
try
to push-start your vehicle.
ON
(C):
This position unlocks the ignition and
transaxle.
This
position is
also
where the key returns
after you start your engine and release the switch. The
switch stays in ON when the engine is running. But even
when the engine
is
not running, you can use
ON
to
operate your electrical power accessories, and to display
some instrument panel warning lights.
START
(D):
This position starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch will
return to
ON
for
normal
driving.
Starting
Your
Engine
Move your shift lever to
PARK
(P)
or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won’t start in any other position
--
that’s a
safety feature. To restart when you’re already moving,
use NEUTRAL
(N)
only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your Oldsmobile
is moving. If you do, you could damage the
transaxle. Shift to PARK
(P)
only when your
vehicle is stopped.
Starting Your
3100
Engine
1.
Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your
ignition key to
START.
When the engine starts, let
go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your
engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in START for longer than
15
seconds at a time
will
cause your battery to
be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat
can damage your starter motor.
