PARKING-Cars with trailers should not
be parked on a grade. However, if you
must, this
is
the way
to
do
it:

Apply regular brakes.
2.
Have
someone place wheel chocks
under trailer wheels.
3. When wheel chocks are in place, release
regular brakes until chocks absorb load.
4.
Apply parking brake.
S.
Place transmission in ''PARK''.
If
the
car
is
parked
on
a grade, don't shift
the transmission lever
to
"PARK" until the
trailer wheels are chocked and
the
parking
brake is set.
If
you do,
the
weight
of
the
car
and trailer may exert
so
much force
on
the parking pawl in the transmission that it
may be
hard·
to
get the shift lever out
of
''PARK''.
When starting, after being parked on a
grade:
1. Apply regular brakes and hold until
steps 2 and 3 below are completed.

Your engine
is
designed
to
operate on
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
of
approximately
91,
research method.
If
you
plan to drive your Oldsmobile
outside
the
United States and its
jurisdictions or
Canada, there
is
a
possibility
the
gasolines available in some
countries will not meet the needs
of
your
engine.
Use
of
low octane rated gasolines
may cause engine knocking or serious
engine damage, for which Oldsmobile
is
not responsible.
Use
of
leaded gasoline in,a
car
equipped with a catalytic converter
may cause the converter
to
lose its
effectiveness for emission control.
It
could
also affect the warranty.
If
you must
use
leaded gasoline in a car designed for
unleaded fuel, converter modification and
different maintenance intervals will be
required. To obtain gasoline information
and a maintenance schedule for the
countries in which you plan
to
travel, write
to: Oldsmobile Division,
Customer Service
Department, Lansing, Michigan 48921 , (or
in
Canada, write

Canada
Limited,
