ECO mode PONTIAC BONNEVILLE 2002 Owners Manual

1-29
In many crashes severe enough to inflate an air bag,
windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may also occur
from the right front passenger air bag.

Air bags are designed to inflate only once. After an
air bag inflates, you'll need some new parts for your
air bag system. If you don't get them, the air bag
system won't be there to help protect you in another
crash. A new system will include air bag modules
and possibly other parts. The service manual for
your vehicle covers the need to replace other parts.

Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic frontal
sensor, which helps the sensing system distinguish
between a moderate frontal impact and a more
severe frontal impact. Your vehicle is also equipped
with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which
records information about the frontal air bag system.
The module records information about the readiness
of the system, when the system commands air
bag inflation and driver's safety belt usage at
deployment. The module also records speed, engine
rpm, brake and throttle data.
Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag
systems. Improper service can mean that an air
bag system won't work properly. See your dealer
for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the covering for the driver's or
the right front passenger's air bag, or the air
bag covering on the driver's and right front
passenger's seatback, the bag may not work
properly. You may have to replace the air bag
module in the steering wheel, both the air bag
module and the instrument panel for the right
front passenger's air bag, or both the air bag
module and seatback for the driver's and right
front passenger's side impact air bag. Do not
open or break the air bag coverings.

This feature lets the driver delay the actual locking of
the vehicle. When the driver's power door lock switch
or the remote keyless entry lock button is pressed, with
the key removed from the ignition and the driver's door

Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match additional transmitters to
your vehicle.

Wiper-Activated Headlamps
This feature turns on the low
-beam headlamps,
instrument panel cluster backlighting and taillamps
when the Twilight Sentinel

is in day mode and after
the windshield wipers have been in use for
approximately six seconds.
To operate the wiper
-activated headlamps, the Twilight
Sentinel must be on. If the wiper
-activated headlamps
are on and the ignition switch is turned to ON, the
wiper
-activated headlamps will continue. When you
turn the key to OFF, the wiper
-activated headlamps will
immediately turn off. The wiper
-activated headlamps
will also turn off if you turn off the Twilight Sentinel or
the windshield wipers.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully
functional daytime running lamps are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel monitors
the exterior light level for the operation of DRL and
Twilight Sentinel, so be sure it isn't covered. The DRL
system will make your high
-beam headlamps come on
at a reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:

The ignition is on,

the exterior lamp control is off, and

the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When the DRL are on, only your high
-beam headlamps
will be on at reduced intensity. The taillamps,
sidemarker and other lamps won't be on. Your
instrument panel won't be lit either.

the courtesy lamps instead of immediate turn off after
you remove the key from the ignition.
Delayed Exit Lighting
This feature will turn on the interior lamps for
25 seconds after you remove the key from the ignition
while the doors are closed and it is night. This will give
you time to find the door handle or lock switches as you

This lighting will only be deactivated if the key is
reinserted into the ignition switch or the power door
locks are activated.
Parade Dimming
To activate the instrument panel backlighting during the
day, turn the exterior lamp switch to the parking lamp or
headlamp position. Dimming of the instrument panel
display is not possible during daylight hours. The
instrument panel display can only be adjusted when
the parking lamps or headlamps are on and it is
dark outside.

keyless entry transmitter (if equipped) is pressed, the
DRL headlamps, parking lamps and back
-up lamps will
turn on if it is dark enough outside.
