Manual Front Seat
A You can lose control of the
1 vehicle if you try to adjust a
manual driver's seat while the
vehicle
is moving. The sudden
movement could startle and
confuse you, or make
you push a
pedal when
you don't want to.
Adjust the driver's seat
only when
the vehicle is not moving.
. .
Move the control lever under the front
of the seat to unlock it. Slide the seat to
where you want it. Then release the
lever and
try to move the seat with your
body, to make sure the seat is locked
into place.

Servicing Bur Pontiac with the
Air Bag System
Please tell or remind anyone who works
on your Pontiac that it has the air bag
system. There are parts of the air bag
system in several places around your
vehicle. You don’t want the system to
inflate while someone is working on
your vehicle. The air bag system does
not need regular maintenance. Your
Pontiac dealer and the
1993 Bonneville
Service Manual have information about
the air bag system, including repair or
disposal.
For up to two minutes after
L b the ignition key is turned off
and the battery disconnected, an
air bag can still inflate during
improper service. You can be
injured if you are close to
an air
bag when it inflates. Be sure to
follow the proper service
procedures. When electrical
work is done under
the
hood or inside your vehicle, the ignition
should be in
LOCK, if possible.
Avoid wires wrapped with yellow
tape,
or yellow connectors. They are probably
part of the air bag system.
If your vehicle has a driver’s air bag and
a right-front passenger’s air bag, both
bags must be disconnected
if the
ignition has to be on for electrical work
Dr if the steering column is to be
disassembled.
First, disconnect
the driver’s air bag like
this:
. Turn off the ignition.
Remove the SIR (air bag) fuse (see the
Index under Fuses & Circuit Breakers).
Disconnect the yellow connector at
the base of the steering column.
ProCarManuals.com

After you follow this procedure for the
driver’s air bag, then disconnect the
right-front passenger’s air bag like this:
Lower the passenger side hush panel
under the glove box.
Disconnect the yellow connector at
the base of
the instrument panel.
When the work is complete, if the air
bag system was disconnected, be sure
to
reattach everything and replace the fuse
before turning the ignition on. When
you turn
the ignition key on, be sure you
see the inflatable restraint light on
the
instrument panel. If you don’t see this
light flash and then go out as usual, have
your air bag system repaired.

Safety Belt Use During
Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Like all
occupants, they-are more likely to be seriously injured if they don’t wear
safety belts.
A pregnant woman should
wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap
portion should be
worn as low as
possible throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is to
protect the mother. When a safety belt is
worn properly, it’s more likely that
the
fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key
to making safety belts effective is
wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
The right-front passenger’s safety belt
works the same way as the driver’s
safety belt. See the
Index under Driver
Position.
When the lap portion of the belt is
pulled out all the way, it will lock. If it
does, let it go back all the way and start
again.
If your vehicle has a center passenger
position, be sure to use the correct
buckle when buckling your lap-shoulder
belt. If you find that the latch plate will
not go fully into the buckle, see if you
are using the buckle for the center
passenger position.

The ignition key must be clean and dry
before it’s inserted
in the ignition or the
engine may not
start.
If the engine does not start and the
SECURITY light is on, the key may be
dirty or wet.
Turn the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three
minutes and try again. The security light
may remain on during this time.
If the
starter still won’t work, and the key
appears
to be clean and dry, wait about
three minutes and try the other ignition
key. At this time, you may also want to
check the fuse (see the
Index under
Fuses & Circuit Breakers). If the starter
won’t work with the other key, your
vehicle needs service.
If your vehicle
does
start, the first ignition key may be
faulty. See your Pontiac dealer or
a
locksmith who can service the
PASS-Key
IITM
If you accidentally use a key that has a
damaged or missing resistor pellet, the
starter won’t work and the
SECURITY
light will flash. But you don’t have to
wait three minutes before trying one of
the other ignition keys.
See your Pontiac
dealer or a locksmith who can service
the PASS-Key
IITM to have a new key
made.
If you’re ever driving and the
SECURITY light comes on and
remains on, you will be able to restart
your engine if you
turn it off. Your
PASS-Key
II? system, however, is not
working properly and must be serviced
by your Pontiae dealer. Your vehicle is
not protected by the PASS-Key
IFM
system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key IFM
ignition key, see your Pontiac dealer or a
locksmith who can service PASS-
Key IFM to have a new key made.
Theft-Deterrent System (omoN)
If your Pontiac has this option, it has a
theft-deterrent alarm system. With this
system, the
SECURITY light will flash
when you open the door (if your ignition
is
off).
This light reminds you to arm the theft-
deterrent system when leaving your
vehicle.
To Arm the System:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door
lock switch or Keyless Entry
transmitter. The
SECURITY light
should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY
light will go off after about 30 seconds
and the system will then be armed.

Features & Controls
Turn Signal and Lane Change
Indicator
The turn signal has two upward (for
Right) and two downward (for Left)
positions. These positions allow you to
signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the
way up or down. When the turn is
finished, the lever will return
automatically.
A green arrow on the instrument panel
will flash in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or
lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release
it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if
the arrows don’t flash but just stay
on, a
signal bulb may be burned out and other
drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If you
have the Driver Information Center, it
will tell you if you have a burned out
bulb. See the
Index under Driver
Information
Center.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help
avoid an accident.
If the green arrows
don’t go on at all when you signal a
turn, check the fuse (see the
Index under
Fuses & Circuit Breakers) and for
burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with
added wiring for the trailer lights, a
different
turn signal flasher is used.
With this flasher installed, the signal
indicator will flash even if a
turn signal
bulb is burned out. Check the front and
rear turn signal lights regularly to make
sure they are working.

Oil Warning Light
If you have a problem with your oil, this
light may stay on after you
start your
engine, or come on
when you are
driving. This indicates that oil is not
going through your engine quickly
enough to keep
it cool. The engine
could be low
on oil, or could have some
other oil problem. Have
it fixed right
away. The
oil light could also come
on in two
other situations:
When the ignition is on but the engine
is not running, the light will come
on
as a test to show you it is working, but
the light will go out when you turn the
ignition to
Start. If it doesn't come on
with the ignition on, you may have a
problem with the fuse or bulb. Have
it
fixed right away.
If you make a hard stop, the light may
come on for a moment. This is
normal.
Clusters with gages use the CHECK
GAGES warning light to alert you of a
potential oil pressure problem.
4iU I JUN
Don't keep driving if the oil
pressure is low. If you do,
your
engine can become so hot that
it catches fire. You or others could
be burned. Check your oil as soon
as possible and have your vehicle
serviced.
