How to Use This Manual
Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning to end when they first receive their new vehicle. If you do this, it will help you learn about the features and controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you will find that pictures and words work together to explain things.
2004 Oldsmobile Bravada Power Lumbar
Your vehicle may have this feature. The seatback lumbar support can be adjusted by moving a control located on the outboard side of the seat cushions. To increase or decrease support, hold the control forward or rearward. Keep in mind that as your seating position changes, as it may during long trips, so should the position of your lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed.
2004 Oldsmobile Bravada Power Windows
The controls for the power windows are located on the armrest on each of the side doors. With power windows, the switches operate the windows when the ignition is in RUN, ACCESSORY or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. The driver’s door has a switch for each of the passenger’s windows as well. Press the top or bottom of the switch to raise or lower the window. If you hold the switch down for three to seven seconds after the window has been completely lowered or raised, the window will not operate for about 15 seconds.
2004 Oldsmobile Bravada Express–Down Window
The driver’s and front passenger’s window switches have an express-down feature that allows you to lower the window without holding the switch down. Press down briefly on the bottom of the driver’s window switch labeled AUTO to activate the express-down feature. Lightly tap the switch to open the window slightly. The express-down feature can be interrupted at any time by pressing the top of the switch.
2004 Oldsmobile Bravada Window Lockout
Your vehicle has a lockout feature to prevent passengers from operating the power windows. The lockout switch is located in front of the window switches. A light in the lockout switch will come on to show that the switch has been activated. Press the lockout switch again to return to normal operation.
2004 Oldsmobile Bravada Sun Visors
To block out glare, you can pull the visor down. You can also slide the visor along the rod from side-to-side to cover the driver or passenger front window.
2004 Oldsmobile Bravada Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can help.
2004 Oldsmobile Bravada Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may be equipped with a content theft-deterrent alarm system.
Here’s how to operate the system:
- Open the door.
- Lock the door with the power door lock switch or the remote keyless entry transmitter. The security light should flash.
- Close all doors. The security light should turn off after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not armed until the security light turns off.
If a locked door is opened without the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go off. The headlamps and parking lamps will flash for two minutes, and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate if you lock the doors with a key or use the manual door lock. It activates only if you use a power door lock switch with the door open, or with the remote keyless entry transmitter. You should also remember that you can start your vehicle with the correct ignition key if the alarm has been set off.
