I was always told to push the brake pedal down first, then release the emergency brake, then, if you have a clutch, push that pedal down put it in gear and go! The same for an auto trans, and the point is so that you don't have the cars weight on the pin inside the auto tranny that locks the transmission in park. Also you wont be putting the cars weight on that first gear in a manual tranny. hope that helps?!

When you are approached by an emergency vehicle sounding a siren having at least one lighted lamp exhibiting a red or blue light you do not need to do anything keep driving as before?

NO. When being approached by an emergency vehicle using sirens and light/s, state laws in the U.S. generally require motorists to immediately pull to the right side of the road and wait for the emergency vehicle to pass. If stopped at an intersection with two-way traffic, remain stopped until the emergency vehicle passes. You should check the law in your particular jurisdiction.

How do you turn off headlights in a 1998 Oldsmobile silhouette when it is running?

You can only turn off the headlights by applying the emergency brake. When the emergency brake is on, the headlights will not light. Otherwise the best of my expererience is that they are on all the time. If you have remote start, put the emergency brake on before you leave the vehicle and when you remote start it, the headlights will not be on, but the driving lights (if switch is on) will be on as well as the parking lights.
