1993 PONTIAC GRAND-AM ECO mode

Features & Controls
Power Door Locks
With power door locks, you can lock or
unlock all the doors of your vehicle
from the driver or front passenger door
lock switch.
On 4-door models, the mechanical
switch on each rear door works only
that door’s lock. It won’t lock (or
unlock) all of the doors-that’s a safety
feature.
Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the
ignition. If you have an automatic
transaxle, all of the doors will lock
when
you move your shift lever out of
P (Park) or N (Neutral). If you have a
manual transaxle, all of the doors will
lock when the vehicle reaches about
8 mph (13 km/h). Each time you close
your doors and
turn on the ignition, the
doors will lock automatically only once.
If someone needs to get out while the
vehicle is running, have that person use
the manual or power lock. When the
door is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Just use the manual or
power lock to lock the door again.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from inside, then
get out and close the door.
Illuminated Entry/Exit System
When you lift the outside handle of either front door, the lights inside your
vehicle will go on. These lights will go
off after about
40 seconds, or when the
ignition is turned on.
If the ignition has been off for less than
two minutes, the lights inside your
vehicle will stay on for about four
seconds to provide
an illuminated exit.

Air Conditioning System
(OPTION)
The air conditioner and heater work
best if you keep your windows closed
while using them. Your vehicle also has
the flow-through ventilation system
described later
in this section.
3f : The left control knob sets the
fan speed. To select the force
of air you
want,
turn the knob. The fan is always
running unless the mode control is
moved to
OFF.
Temperature Control: The center
control knob regulates the temperature
of the air coming through the system.
Mode Control: The right control knob
changes the functions
of your system.
Air Conditioning
Your system has three air conditioner
settings. Before using your air
conditioner on very hot days, open the
windows long enough
to let hot inside
air escape. This reduces the amount
of
work your air conditioner's compressor
will have to do, which should help fuel
economy.
MAX: Use for maximum cooling. This
setting recirculates much
of the air
inside your vehicle
so it maximizes your
air conditioner's performance and your
vehicle's fuel economy.
A/C: Use for normal cooling on hot
days. This setting cools outside air and
directs it through the instrument panel
outlets.

Customer Assistance Information
How You Can Get an Index
Indexes are published periodically. Most
of the PSP’s which could potentially
apply to the most recent Pontiac models
will be listed in the most recent
publication for that model year. This
means you may want to wait until the
end
of the model year before ordering
an index, if you are interested in buying
PSP’s pertaining to a current model year
car or truck.
Some
PSP‘s pertaining to a particular
model year vehicle may be published in
later years, and these would be listed in
the later year’s index. When you order
an index for
a model year that is not
over yet, we’ll send you the most recently
published‘issue. Check the order form
for indexes for earlier model years. Cut
out the order form, fill it out, and
mail it in. We will then see to it that an
index is mailed to you. There is no
charge for indexes for the 1990-1993
model years.
Toll-Free Telephone Number
If you want an additional order form for
an index, just call toll-free and we’ll be
happy to send you one. Automated
recording equipment will take your
name
and mailing address. The number
to call is 1-800-551-4123.
A Very Important Reminder
These PSP’s are meant for technicians.
They are not meant for the “do-it-
yourselferI’ Technicians have the
equipment, tools, safety instructions, and
know-how to do a job quickly and safely.
Pontiac Service Publications
You can get these by using the following
order form.
Pontiac Division service manuals are
intended for use by professional,
qualified technicians. Attempting repairs
or service without the appropriate
training, tools, and equipment could cause injury to you or others and
damage to your vehicle that may cause it
not to operate properly.
