Trunk Light
This light comes on when you open
your trunk. It also comes on when you
open the doors or turn on the courtesy
lights.

Battery Rundown Protection
Your Pontiac is equipped with a Battery
Rundown Protection feature designed to
protect your vehicle’s battery.
When any interior light (trunk, reading,
footwell or glove box) is left on when
the ignition is turned off, the Battery
Rundown Protection system will
automatically shut the light off after
20
minutes. This will avoid draining the
battery.
To reactivate the interior lights, either:
The ignition must be turned on
The activated light switch must be
turned off and then on, OR
A front door must be opened. The Battery Rundown Protection feature
will
also be activated when any door of
your vehicle is left open.
Also,
if your vehicle is left with the
ignition turned
off for over 24 days,
battery power to your clock and audio
system will be turned off to reduce
battery drain. When the ignition is
turned on again, battery power will
be
resupplied. However, under these
conditions, it will be necessary to reset
the clock and audio system settings.

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your
speed in both miles per hour (mph)
and
kilometers per hour (kmlh). Your
odometer shows how
far your vehicle
has been driven, in either miles (used in
the
U.S.) or kilometers (used in
Canada).
Tamper Resistant Odometer
Your hntiac has a tamper resistant
odometer.
If you see silver lines
between the numbers, you’ll know that
someone has probably tried to
turn it
back,
so the numbers may not be true.
You may wonder what happens if your
vehicle 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.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far
you have driven since you last reset it.
To reset the trip odometer to zero, press
the knob to the right of the gage.

I CAUTION Anti-lock Brake Sptetn Warning
Light A Your brake system may not be
working properly if the brake
warning light is on. Driving with
the brake warning light on can lead
to
an accident. If the light is still
on after you’ve pulled off the road
and stopped carefully, have the
vehicle towed for service. Vith
anti-lock, this light will
go on
when you start your engine and may stay
on for two seconds or so. 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
the regular brake system warning light is
also on, see Brake System Warning Light
earlier in this part.
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.
