fuse PONTIAC GRAND PRIX 2003 Owners Manual

Front Seats
Manual Seats
You can lose control of the 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.
If your vehicle is equipped with manual seats, lift the
lever, located under the front
of the seat, using a twisting
motion. This will unlock the seat. Slide the seat to
where you want it and release the lever.
Try to move
the seat back and forth to make sure the seat is locked
in place.

Changes or modifications to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
PASS-Key@
Ill uses a radio frequency transponder in
the key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
PASS-Key@ 111 Operation
Your vehicle is equipped with PASS-Key@ Ill
(Personalized Automotive Security System)
theft-deterrent system. PASS-Key@
Ill is a passive
theft-deterrent system. This means you don’t have to do
anything special to arm or disarm the system. It works
when you insert or remove the key from the ignition.
When the PASS-Key@
Ill system senses that someone
is using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s
starter and fuel systems. The starter will not work and
fuel will stop being delivered
to the engine. Anyone
using a trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will
be
discouraged because of the high number of electrical
key codes.
When trying to start the vehicle
if the engine does not
start and the SECURITY light comes on, the key
may have a damaged transponder. Turn the ignition
off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key appears
to be undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time,
you may also want to check the fuse, see Fuses
and Circuit Breakers
on page 5-97. If the engine still
does not start with the other key, your vehicle needs
service.
If your vehicle does start, the first key may
be faulty. See your dealer who can service the
PASS-Key@
Ill to have a new key made. In an
emergency, contact Pontiac Roadside Assistance.
See Roadside Assistance Program
on page 7-5 for
more information.
It is possible for the PASS-Key@
Ill decoder to learn
the transponder value of a new or replacement key.
Up to
10 additional keys may be programmed for
the vehicle. This procedure is for learning additional
keys only.
If all the currently programmed keys are lost
or do not operate, you must see your dealer or a
locksmith who can service PASS-Key@
Ill to have keys
made and programmed to the system.
See your dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key@
Ill to get a new key blank that is cut exactly
as the ignition key that operates the system.

flashes faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident.
If the arrows don’t go on at all when you signal
a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and then check the
fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers
on page 5-97.
A chime will sound if you leave the turn signal on
for more than
3/4 mile (1.2 km).

will appear. While the high-beam headlamps are
on, the fog lamps will
not illuminate.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up-Display
(HUD), an arrow will appear in the display area to
indicate that the high beams are on. See Head-Up
Display
(HUD) on page 3-75 for more information.

If You Can’t See the HUD Image When
the Ignition

Is anything covering the HUD unit?
Is the HUD dimmer setting bright enough?
Is the HUD image adjusted to the proper height?
Still no HUD image? Check the fuse in the
instrument panel fuse block. See Fuses and
Circuit
Breakers on page 5-97.
If the HUD Image Is Not Clear
Is the HUD image too bright?
Are the windshield and HUD lens clean?
The windshield is part of the HUD system.
If you ever
need a new windshield, be sure to get one designed for
HUD.
If you don’t, the HUD image may look blurred
and out of focus.
Accessory Power Outlets
Your vehicle has a 12-volt outlet which can be used
to plug in electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone, a compact disc player, etc. It is located on
the passenger’s side, near the floor. Remove the tethered cap
to use the outlet. When not
using the outlet, be sure
to cover it with the
protective cap.
The accessory power outlet will only operate while the
ignition is on and for a few minutes after turning the
ignition
off. If you would like to operate an accessory for
an extended period of time, see your dealer for more
information.
Notice: When using an accessory power outlet,
maximum electrical load must not exceed amperage
rating. Always turn
off any electrical equipment
when not in use. Leaving electrical equipment on
for extended periods will drain your battery.
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adapter fuses.
If you experience a
problem, see your dealer for additional information
on the accessory power plugs.

a moment. This is normal.
If you have a problem with your oil pressure, this light
may stay on after you start your engine, or come

it catches fire. You or others could be burned.
Check your oil as soon
as possible and have
your vehicle serviced.

problems can be costly and is not covered by
your warranty.

Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
want to use the proper service manual. It tells you
much more about how
to service your vehicle than this
manual can. To order the proper service manual,
see Service Publications Ordering information on
page 7-10.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting
to do your own service work, see Servicing
Your Air
Bag-Equipped Vehicle on page 1-57.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date of any service work you
perform. See Part
E: Maintenance Record on page 6-16.
- --I can be jured and your v icle coul Be
damaged
if you try to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough about
it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement parts and tools before you attempt any vehicle
maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. “English” and “metric”
fasteners can be easily confused. If
you
use the wrong fasteners, parts can later
break or fall off.
You could be hurt.
Adding Equipment to the Outside of
Your Vehicle
Things you might add to the outside of your vehicle can
affect the airflow around it. This may cause wind noise
and affect windshield washer performance. Check with
your dealer before adding equipment to the outside of
your vehicle.
