Features & Controls

6 Cmke Control (OPTION) With cruise control, you can maintain a spesd of about 25 mph (40 W h ] or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can really help on long trips . Cruise control does not work at speeds ‘be1.0~ about 25 mph (40’ W h ) . When you apply your brakes, or the clutch pedal, the cruise control shuts off.

1 CAUTION

‘

-D

Cruise control can be dangerous where you can’t drive safely at a steady speed. So, don’t use your cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic. Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause needless wheel spinning, and YQU could lose control. Don’t use cruise control on slippery roads.

To Set Cruise Control 1. Move the cruise control switch to

ON.

A CAUTION

If you leave your cruise control switch ON when

you’re not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you don’t want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switch OFF until you want to use it.

2. Get up to the speed you want.

3. Push in the SET button at the end of

the lever and release it.

4. Take your foot off the accelerator

pedal.

To Resume a Sei Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake or clutch pedal. This, of course, shuts off the cruise control. But you don’t need to reset it. Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can move the cruise control switch from ON to RESUME/ACCEL (which stands for Resume/Accelerate) for about half a second. You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.

A If you hold the switch at

RESUME/ACCEL longer

than half a second, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch or apply the brake or clutch pedal. You could be startled and even lose control. So unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch at RESUME/ACCEL.

Features & Controls

To increase Speed While Using ‘Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the first: 1. Use the accelerator pedal to get to the

higher speed.

2. Push the button at the end of the

lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.

Here’s the second way to go to a higher speed: Move the cruise switch from ON to RESUME/ACCEL. Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the switch. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to RESUME/ACCEL for less than half a second and then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 rnph (1.6 km/h) faster.

To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control:

Push in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half a second. Each time you do this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.

r

Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.

Using Cruise Control on Hills How well your cruise control will work on hills depends upon your speed, load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake or clutch pedal takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't use cruise control on steep hills.

To Get Out of Cruise ConW There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:

Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch pedal, if you have a manual transaxle; OR Move the cruise switch to OFF. Ti Erase Cruise Speed Memory When you turn off the cruis'e control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased.

Operation of Lights Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlamps, parking lamps, fog lamps, side marker lamps and tail lamps) meets all applicable federal lighting requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate these lamps. For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your lower beam lamps with fog lamps at all times, or that headlamps be turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lamps, especially at dawn or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your own state or provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations. Lights On Reminder If you open the door while leaving the lights on, you will hear a warning tone.

Dayfime Running lights (CANADA ONLY) The Canadian Federal Government has decided that “Daytime Running Lights” (DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL can make your vehicle more visible to pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. DRL are required on new vehicles sold in Canada. Your DRL work with a light sensor on top of the instrument panel. Don’t cover it up. The low beam headlights will come on at reduced brightness in daylight when:

The ignition is on The headlight switch is off, and The parking brake is released.

At dusk, the exterior lights will come on automatically and the low beams will change to full brightness. At dawn, the exterior lights will go out and the low beams will change to the reduced brightness of DRL (if the headlight switch is off). Of course, you may still turn on the headlights any time you need to. To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking brake while the ignition is in the Off or Lock position. Then start the vehicle. The DRL will stay off until you release the parking brake.

Headlighf High-Low Beam Changer To change the headlights from low beam to high or high to low, pull the turn signal/headlight beam lever all the way toward you. Then release it. When the high beams are on, a blue light on the instrument panel also will be on.

Your vehicle may also have a driver information system that worlrs along with the warning lights and gages. See the Index under Driver Information Center.

Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators This section describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them. Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an expensive r’epair or replacement. Paying attention to your warning lights and gages could also save you or others from injury. Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As you will see in the details on the next few pages, some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to let you know they’re working. If you are

familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed when this happens. Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you lmow when there’s a problem with your vehicle. When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly-and even dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help.

Features & Controls

Odometer Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the U.S.) or kilometers (used in Canada). Your Pontiac has a tamper resistant odometer. If you see silver lines between the numbers, you’ll h o w that someone has probably tried to turn it back, so the numbers may not be true. You may wonder what happens if your Pontiac needs a new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the mileage total of the old odometer, then it must be. But if it can’t, then it’s set at zero and a label must be put on the driver’s door to show the old mileage reading when the new odometer was installed.

Fuel Gage You have one of the fuel gages shown. The fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left, when the ignition is on. When the indicator nears E (Empty), you still have a little fuel left, but you should get more soon. Here are three things that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with your fuel gage:

At the gas station, with your ignition on, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads F (Full).

It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more or less than half the tanks capacity to fill the tank. The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up.

For your fuel tank capacity, see Service Station Information on the last page of this manual.

Voltmeter (OPTION) When the engine is running, the gage shows the condition of the charging system. Readings between the red warning zones indicate the normal operating range. Readings in either red warning zone indicate a possible problem in the electrical system. Have your vehicle serviced immediately. When your engine is not running, but the ignition is on (in the Run position), the gage shows your battery’s state of charge.

Brake System Warning Light Your Pontiac’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good bralung, though, you need both parts working well. If the warning light goes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away. This light should come on as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem. This light will also come on when you set your parking brake, and will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release

fully. If it stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means you have a brake problem. If the light comes on while driving, pull off the road and stop carefully. You maJ notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service. (See the Index under Towing Your Pontiac.) 1 CAUTION

Your brake system may not be working properly if the WIMC warning light is on. Driving with the brake warning light ora can lead to an accident. If the light is still on after you’ve pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have I the vehicle towed €or senrice.

the regular brake system warning light is also on, see the Index under Brake System Warning Light. If the anti-lock brake system warning light ever flashes, your anti-lock brake system is still working but needs service as soon as possible.

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light (OPTION) With anti-lock, this light will go on when you start your engine and it will stay on for three seconds. That’s normal. If the light doesn’t come on, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If the light stays on or comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the key off. Then start the engine to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again while you’re driving, your Pontiac needs service. Unless the regular brake system warning light is also on, you will still have brakes, but not anti-lock brakes. If

Compass The compass shows the direction your vehicle is facing whenever the engine is running. For best accuracy, it should be calibrated:

Whenever it displays the message “CALIBRAT/COMPASS” Whenever it doesn’t seem to be showing the correct direction.

Mobile telephones, two-way radios, and other electronic devices can cause inaccurate compass readings if they are placed near the compass, and you may need to recalibrate the compass.

To Calibrate the Compass: 1. Drive to an open area, like a large empty parking lot. You need to be able to drive safely in circles. Be sure the place is not only free of other vehicles but also away from power lines or large metal buildings. 2. With the engine running and all

accessories off, press CAL. The word “CALIB” will appear.

3. Be sure there’s no traffic, then slowly drive in a circle. Don’t go faster than 5 mph (8 l d h ) , because the vehicle needs to stay level. The compass will orient itself.

4. When the compass is oriented, the

word “CALSET” will appear. Locate north and point the front of the vehicle at north.

5. Press NORTH. The words “N SET”

will appear. Your compass is now calibrated.

If you travel more than 500 miles (804 km) east or west, you can quickly recalibrate to compensate for variations in the earth’s magnetic field. Simply point the front of the vehicle at true north and press NORTH.

Head-Up Display (OPTION) If you have the optional Head-Up Display (HUD), you can see the speedometer reading, in English or metric units, displayed “through” the windshield. The HUD also shows: * Turn signal indicator lights. A high beam indicator symbol. A CHECK GAUGES message. (For low oil pressure, high coolant t.emperature, and high or low battery voltage.). A low fuel warning symbol.

HUD shows these lights when they are lit on the instrument panel. When you sit straight in your seat, the HUD image will appear slightly to the right. When the ignition key is turned to Run, all possible HUD images will! come on and look like this. Then the Head-Up Display will operate normally.

Although the HUD image appears to be near the front of the vehicle, do not use it as a parking aid. The HUD was not designed for that purpose. If you try to use it that way, such as in a parking lot, you may misjudge distance and run r,y, into something.

To adjust the HUD so you can see it properly: 1. Start your engine and slide the HUD

dimmer control (to the right of the steering wheel, below the wiper/ washer control) all the way to HI. The brightness of the HUD image is determined by whether the headlight switch is on or off, and where you have set the HUD dimmer control.

2. Adjust the seat, if necessary, before setting the height control. Slide the HUD image height control all the way toward you, raising the image as far as possible, Then slide the HUD image height control away from you so the image is as low as possible but in full view.

3. Slide the dimmer control toward OFF until the HUD image is no brighter than necessary. To turn the HUD off, slide the HUD dimmer control to OFF. If the sun comes out, or it becomes cloudy, or if you turn on your headlights, you may need to adjust the HUD’s brightness using the HUD dimmer control. Polarizing sunglasses could make the HUD image harder to see.

1 L bright, or too high in your If the HUD image is too field of view, it may take you more time to see things you need to see when it’s dark outside. Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed low in your field of view.

Features & Controls

Head-Up Display (CONT.) To switch the speedometer from English (conventional) to metric units, or back again, use the tip of a ball point pen (or something similar) to depress the MODE button on the Driver Information Center until ENGLISH or METRIC appears on the display. Release the MODE button and use the pen to depress the SET button below it to switch to the ,other unit of measure.

Care of the Head-Up Display Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of the HUD image. To Clean the HUD: Spray household glass cleaner on a soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry it. Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens, because the cleaner fluid could leak inside the unit if you do.

If You Can’t See the HUD Image When the Ignition is On:

Is anything covering the HUD unit? Is the HUD dimmer control close enough to HI? Is the HUD image adjusted to the proper height? Still no HUD image? Check the fuse in the CLUST position in the fuse panel. See the Index under Fuses G Circuit Breakers.

If the HUD Image is Not Clear:

It could be too bright. Move the HUD dimmer control closer to OFF. You may need to clean the windshield and HUD lens.

Your windshield is part of the HUD system. If you ever have to have a new windshield, be sure to get one designed for HUD. If you don’t, the HUD image may look blurred and out of focus.

Climate Control The air conditioner and heater work best if you keep your windows closed while using them. Your vehicle also has the flow-through ventilation system described later in this section. OFF: Press to turn the blower off. Some air will still come from the outlets at the floor. Press any function button to turn the system on. Temperature Control Lever: This lever changes the temperature of the air coming through the system. The higher the lever setting, the warmer the air.

a: Selects the force of air you want.

Press 4 to lower the fan speed, b to raise it. Air Conditioning There are three air conditioning settings: MAX: Provides maximum cooling or quick cool-down on very hot days. This setting recirculates much of the air inside your vehicle, and it should not be used for long periods because the air may become too cold and dry.

A/C: Use for normal cooling on hot days. This setting brings in outside air, cools it and directs it through the instrument panel outlets. B/L (Bi-Level): Use on cool, but sunny days. This setting brings in the outside air, but directs it in two ways. The cool air is directed to the upper portion of your body through the instrument panel outlets, but most warmed air is directed through the heater ducts and a little to the defrost and side window vents. At times this temperature difference may be more apparent than others. On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot inside air escape. This reduces the time your air conditioner’s compressor will have to run, which should help fuel economy.

setting directs 90% of the air

The through the defroster vents and the side window vents, and 10% to the floor.

Heating and Ventilation When you don’t need to cool the outside air, use these next settings. You can leave the air as it is or heat it. The air conditioner compressor doesn’t run in the VNT and HTR settings. This reduces the engine load, resulting in improved fuel economy (gas mileage). VNT (Vent): For mild outside temperatures, when little heating or cooling is needed, push VNT. Air flow is through the instrument panel outlets. Slide the temperature control lever to a comfortable level. HTR (Heater): When outside temperatures are cold, push HTR. This will send most of the heated air through the ducts near the floor. The rest will come out of the defroster vents and side window defogger vents.

Defogging and Defrosting There are two settings for clearing your windows. For each setting, adjust the temperature control as desired. The air conditioner compressor will run in these settings to remove moisture from the air when the temperature is above freezing.

\p

This setting allows half of the air to flow to the floor heater ducts, and half to go to the windshield and side window vents located in the windshield pillars. Use this setting to warm passengers while keeping the windshield clear.

Comfort Controls & Audio Systems

Defogging and Defrosting (CONT.) To rapidly defrost the windshield, slide the temperature control lever all the way up and press the (j@ button. Adjust the fan to the highest speed.

Your vehicle is equipped with side window defogger vents located on the window pillar. For additional side window defogging, push the B/L button, set the fan control to HI and aim the side vents on the instrument panel to the side windows. For increased air flow to the side vents, close the center vents.

Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window. Press to turn on. The defogger will turn off automatically after about 10 minutes of use. If you turn it on again, the defogger will operate for about five minutes only. You can also turn the defogger off by turning off the ignition or pressing again. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license across the defogger grid on the rear window.

Flow-Through Ventilation System Your Pontiac’s flow-through ventilation system supplies outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or the air conditioning fan is running.

Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow, or any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater and defroster will work €ar better, reducing the chance of fogging the inside of your windows.. When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, set the blower fan to the highest setting for a few moments b e h e driving off, This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the inside of your windows. * Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.
