Features & Controls
Power Door Locks
With power door locks, you can lock or
unlock all the doors of your vehicle from
the driver or front passenger door lock
switch.
The switch on each rear door works only
that door’s lock.
It won’t lock (or unlock)
all
of the doors - that’s a safety feature.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your
keys, open your door and set the locks from
inside. Then get out and close the door.
If your vehicle has
the theft deterrent
option, see “Universal Theft Deterrent”
later
in this section.

Remote Keyless Entry
(OPTION)
If your Pontiac has this option, you can
lock and unlock your doors or unlock
your
trunk from up to 30 feet (9 m) away
using the key chain transmitter supplied
with your vehicle.
Your Remote Keyless Entry System
operates on a radio frequency subject to
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Rules.
This device complies
with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(I) This devict
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
3peration.
Should interference to this system occur,
try
this:
0 Check to determine if battery
replacement is necessary. See the
instructions on battery replacement.
0 Check the distance. You may be too
far from your vehicle. This product
has a maximum range.
0 Check the location. Other vehicles or
objects may be blocking
the signal.
0 See your Pontiac dealer or a qualified
technician for service.
Changes or modifications to this system
by other than an authorized service
facility could void authorization to use
this equipment.
Operafion
The driver’s door will unlock when
“UNLOCK’ is pressed. If
it is pressed
again
within 25 seconds, all the doors will
unlock. Also, if your car is equipped with

Features & Controls
Universal Theft
Deterrent
(omoN) (CONI)
To Stop the Alarm:
If you set off the alarm by accident,
unlock any door with your key.
You can
also
turn off the alarm by pressing the
“UNLOCK” button on the Keyless Entry
System transmitter. The alarm won’t stop
if you try to unlock a door any other way.
How to Test the Alarm:
Roll your window down, then follow the
directions under
“To Arm the System”
earlier. Once the alarm is set, reach
through the window and manually unlock
the door from the inside or
turn on the
ignition. The alarm should sound.
If the alarm does not sound when it
should, check to see
if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown. To replace
the fuse, see “Fuses
& Circuit Breakers”
in the Index.
To reduce the possibility
of theft, always
arm the theft deterrent system
when
leaving your vehicle.
H Illuminated Entry
System
(omoN)
When you lift the lever of either front
door, a light will glow around the door
lock. This will help you insert the door
key at night.
The lights inside your vehicle will also
go
on. These lights will go off after about 20
seconds, or when you start your engine.
These lights will also
go on when you
press any button on the optional Remote
Keyless Entry transmitter.
If a door is left ajar, your interior lights
will turn
off after ten minutes to save your
battery.
Trunk Lock
To unlock the trunk from the outside, insert the door key and
turn it.

To keep the photocells operating well,
occasionally clean them
with a cotton
swab and glass cleaner.
Manual Remote
Control Mirror
The outside rearview mirror should be
adjusted
so you can just see the side of
your vehicle when you are sitting
in a
comfortable driving position.
Adjust the driver side outside mirror
with
the control lever on the driver’s door.
To adjust your passenger side mirror, sit
in the driver’s seat and have a passenger
adjust the mirror for you.
H Convex Outside Mirror
Your right side mirror is convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so
you can see more from the driver’s seat.
Power Remote Control
Mirrors
(OPTION)
A control lever on the driver’s door
controls both outside rearview mirrors.
Select
the mirror you want to adjust by
rotating the lever to the left or right.
Adjust each mirror
so that you can just
see the side of your vehicle when you are
sitting in a comfortable driving position.
When you operate the optional rear
window defogger, the outside rearview
mirrors are also heated to help clear them
of ice and snow.

Your Driving and the Road
Skidding (CONI)
Of course, traction is reduced when water,
snow, ice, gravel, or other material is on
the road. For safety, you’ll want to slow
down and adjust your driving to these
conditions. It is important to slow down
on slippery surfaces because stopping
distance
will be longer and vehicle
control more limited.
While driving on a surface with reduced
traction, try your best to avoid sudden
steering, acceleration, or braking
(including engine braking by shifting to a
lower gear). Any sudden changes could
cause the tires
to slide. You may not
realize the surface is slippery until your
vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize
warning clues
-- such as enough water,
ice
or packed snow on the road to make a
“mirrored surface”
-- and slow down
when
you have any doubt.
Remember: Any anti-lock braking system
(ABS) helps avoid only the braking skid.
Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day
driving. One reason is that some drivers
are likely to be impaired
-- by alcohol or
drugs, with night
vision problems, or by
fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
0 Drive defensively.
0 Don’t drink and drive.
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to
reduce the glare from headlights
behind you.
Since you can’t see as well, you may
need to slow down and keep more
space between you and other vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher
speed roads. Your headlights can light
up only so much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you’re tired, pull off the road in a
safe place and rest.
Night Vision
No one can see as well at night as in the
daytime.
But as we get older these
differences increase.
A 50-year-old driver
may require at least twice as much light to
see the same thing at night as a
20-year-old.
What you do
in the daytime can also
affect your night vision. For example, if
you spend the day
in bright sunshine you
are wise to wear sunglasses. Your eyes
will have less trouble adjusting to night.
But if you’re driving, don’t wear
sunglasses at night. They may cut down
on glare from headlights, but they also
make a lot of things invisible.

Engine Accessory Belt
The 3800 (L27) engine uses an engine
accessory belt. This diagram shows the
features connected by the belt routing.
See “Maintenance Schedule’’
in the Index
for when to check the belt.
A. Power Steering
B. Crank
C. Coolant Pump
D. Air Conditioning
E. Alternator
F. Tensioner
3800 Supercharged
(L67) Engine (OPTION)
Your Bonneville may have a 3800
Supercharged engine. The Supercharger is
a device which is designed to pump more
air into the engine than
it would normally
use. This air mixed
with fuel, creates
increased engine power. Since the
Supercharger is a pump and is driven
from an engine accessory drive belt,
increased pressure is available at all
driving conditions, The Powertrain Control
Module
(PCM),
works with a vacuum control to regulate
the increased pressure required during
specific driving conditions. When this
increased pressure or boost is
not desired,
such as during idling and light throttle
cruising, the excess air that the
’
Supercharger is pumping is routed,through
a bypass. All of these controls, working
together provide high performance
character and fuel efficiency
in the3800
V6 Supercharged engine.
The power steering pump uses a Remote
reservoir mounted on the throttle wd
cruise control cable bracket. See
“Maintenance Schedule”
in the Index for
when you should check the fluid:
