Your automatic transaxle may have a shift lever located
on the steering column or on the console between the
seats.
There are several different positions for your shift lever.
PARK
(P):
This locks your front wheels. It's the best
position to use when you start your engine because your
vehicle can't move easily.
Ensure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P) range
before starting the engine. Your Oldsmobile has a
brake-transaxle shift interlock. You have to fully apply
your regular brake before you can shift from PARK (P)
when the ignition key is in the ON position. If you
cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift
lever -- push the shift lever all the way into PARK (P)
and also release the shift lever button on floor shift
