park assist PONTIAC BONNEVILLE 2003 Owners Manual

Press the left or right side of the UR selector switch
located beneath the control pad to choose the left
or right mirror.
To adjust the mirror, use one of the four arrows located
on the control pad to move the mirror in the direction
you want it to go. When finished adjusting the mirrors,
leave the UR selector switch in the center position,
to prevent unwanted mirror movement in case the
control pad is accidentally bumped while driving. Adjust
each outside mirror
so that you can see a little of
your vehicle and the area behind your vehicle.
If your vehicle is equipped with the memory function,
the mirrors and driver’s seat position can be stored into
memory. See
Memory Seat and Mirrors on page 2-48.
Qutside Curb View Assist Mirror
If you have the memory seat and mirrors feature, the
passenger’s outside power mirror also includes a
tilt-down feature that operates when the shift lever is in
REVERSE (R). When the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE
(R), the passenger’s mirror wtii return to ils
original position after a five-second delay. This delay
prevents movement of the mirror
if multiple gear
transitions (REVERSE
(R) to DRIVE (D) to
REVERSE (R)) occur during a parallel parking
maneuver. This feature can be programmed on or
off
through the DIC personalization programming menu.
See
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-62 for
programming instructions.
Outside Convex Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved
so you can see more from the
ver’s seat.
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles)
look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
Outside Heated Mirrors
If vour vehicle has this feature, when you operate the
rear window defogger, the heated driver’s and
passenger’s outside power mirrors are warmed to help
clear them of ice and snow. See “Rear Window
Defogger’’ under
Climate Control System on page 3-25
or Automatic Climate Control System on page 3-28
for more information.

Programming the HomeLinkB
Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLink@ Transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April
1, 1982.
Keep the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as
well as for future HomeLink@ programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink@ buttons should be erased
for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink@
Buttons” or, for assistance, contact HomeLink@ on the
internet at: www.homelink.com or by calling
1 -800-355-351 5.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door or gate operator you are programming. When
programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside
of the garage.
It is recommended that a new battery be installed in
your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the radio frequency. Your vehicle’s engine should
be turned
off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons,
releasing only when the indicator light begins to
flash, after
20 seconds. Do not hold down the
buttons for longer than
30 seconds and do not
repeat this step to program
a second and/or third
transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter about
1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink@
buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired
button on HomeLink@ and the hand-held transmitter
button.
Do not release the buttons until Step 4
has been completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers may
require you to substitute Step
3 with the procedure
noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this section.
4. The indicator light wiii tiasn siowiy at iirsi and iilerl
rapidly after HomeLink@ successfully receives the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter.
Release both buttons.

DIC Vehicle Personalization
The DIC can be used to program the following
personalization features available with your vehicle:
Automatic Door Locks
Window Lock Out
Security Feedback
Delayed Locking
Perimeter Lighting
Memory Seats
Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
Driver ID
The DIC is used to program the personal choices of two
drivers. The drivers are recognized as DRIVER
#1
and DRIVER #2. You will let the DIC know which driver
you are by using your remote keyless entry transmitter
or by pressing the appropriate memory seat control
button located on the driver’s door or by choosing the
driver with the
DIC. Each remote keyless entry
transmitter was preprogrammed to belong to DRIVER
#I
or DRIVER #2. Each transmitter may be programmed
differently for each driver. When you
press the button with the unlock symbol on
your transmitter, the DIC will automatically change driver
numbers and the vehicle will recall the personalization
settings that were last made to correspond to your
transmitter, including your radio and comfort control
settings. See
Climate Controls Personalization on
page
3-33.
If you unlock the vehicle using your door key instead of
your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers and
will recall the information from the last transmitter use or
the last driver change using the memory seat controls.
If this happens and you were not the last driver of
the vehicle, simply press your correct driver number on
the memory seat controls or press the button with
the unlock symbol
on your transmitter or select the
personalization programming mode and choose
the correct driver number.
Use the following steps for personalization programming
instructions.
1. Turn the ignition on and keep the transaxle in
2. Press the MODE button to reach personalization
3. Press the SELECT button to enter personalization

Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the engine
stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer but
it will take much more effort.
Magnetic Speed Variable Assist
Steering
Your vehicle may have this optional steering system
that continuously adjusts the effort you feel when
steering at all vehicle speeds.
It provides ease when
parking, yet a firm, solid feel at highway speeds.
Steering Tips
Driving on Curves
It’s important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned on
rl- I L --Y^Y ^Y ^. .- .-- l~l,,,’, ... L. .. LI IC I ICVV~ I lappc1 I VI I clul vca. I ICI G a VVI ~y.
Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is subject to
the same laws of physics when driving on curves.
The traction of the tires against the road surface makes
it possible for the vehicle to change its path when
you turn the front wheels; If there’s no traction, inertia
will keep the vehicle going in the same direction. If
you’ve ever tried to steer a vehicle on wet ice, you’ll
understand this.
The traction you can get in a curve depends on the
condition of your tires and the road surface, the
angle at which the curve is banked, and your speed.
While you’re in a curve, speed is the one factor you can
control.
Suppose you’re steering through a sharp curve.
Then you suddenly accelerate. Both control
systems
- steering and acceleration - have to do
their work where the tires meet the road. Adding
the sudden acceleration can demand too much of those
places. You can lose control. See
Traction Control
System (TCS) on page 4-9.
What should you do if this ever happens? Ease up on
the accelerator pedal, steer the vehicle the way you
want it to go, and slow down.
If you have Stabilitrak@, you may see the STABILITY
SYSTEM ACTIVE message on the Driver Information
Center. See “Stability System Active Message”
Speed limit signs near curves warn that you should
adjust your speed. Of course, the posted speeds
are based on good weather and road conditions. Under
less favorable conditions you’ll want to go slower.
