1993 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE battery replacement

You can match a transmitter to as many
Aifferent vehicles as you own, provided
they are equipped with
exactly the same
model system.
(General Motors offers
several different models of these systems
on their vehicles.) Each vehicle can have
only two transmitters matched to it. See
your dealer to match transmitters to
another vehicle.
Your Remote Keyless Entry 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:
(1) This
device may not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) This device must
accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation. Should
interference
to this system
occur,
try this:
Check to determine if battery
replacement is necessary. See the
instructions on battery replacement.
Check the distance. You may be too
far from your vehicle. This product
has a maximum range.
Check the location. Other vehicles or
objects may be blocking the signal.
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.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your
key chain transmitter should last about
two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the
transmitter won’t work at the normal
range in any location. If you have to get
close to your vehicle before the
transmitter works, it’s probably time to
change the batteries.
To Replace Batteries in the Remote
Keyless Entry:
1. Remove the screw from back cover.
2. Lift the front cover off, bottom half first.
3. Remove and replace the two batteries
4. Reassemble the transmitter.
5. Check the transmitter operation.

Replacing Brake System Pants
The braking system on a modem vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to be of
top quality and work well together if the
vehicle is to have really good braking.
Vehicles we design and test have top-
quality GM brake parts in them, as your
Pontiac does when it is new. When you replace parts of your braking system-
for example, when your brake linings
wear down and you have to have new
ones put in-be sure you get new
genuine GM replacement parts. If you
don’t, your brakes may no longer work
properly. For example, if someone puts
in brake linings that are wrong for your
vehicle, the balance between your front
and rear brakes can change, for the
worse. The braking performance you’ve
come to expect can change
in many
other ways
if someone puts in the wrong
replacement brake parts.
Battery
Every new Pontiac has a Delco
Freedom@ battery.
You never have to
add water to one of these. When it’s
time for a new battery, we recommend a
Delco Freedom@ battery. Get one that
has the catalog number shown on the
original battery’s label.
Jump Starting
For jump starting instructions, see the
Index under Jump Starting.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle
for 25 days or more, take off the black
negative
(-) cable from the battery.
This will help keep your battery from
running down.
1
Batteries have acid that can
burn you and gas that can
explode.
You can be badly hurt if
you aren’t careful. See the Index
under Jump Starting for tips on
working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how
to
prepare your vehicle for longer storage
periods.
