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.

On the Road
Unless you are the only driver, it is
good to share the driving task with
others. Limit
turns behind the wheel to
about
100 miles (160 km) or two hours
at a sitting. Then, either change drivers
or stop for some refreshment like coffee,
tea or
soft drinks and some. limbering
up. But do stop and move around. Eat
lightly along the way. Heavier meals
tend to make some people sleepy.
On two-lane highways or undivided
multilane highways that do not have
controlled access, you’ll want to watch
for some situations not usually found on
freeways. Examples are: stop signs and
signals, shopping centers with direct
access to the highway, no passing zones
and school zones, vehicles turning left
and right off the road, pedestrians,
cyclists, parked vehicles, and even
animals.
Highway Hypnosis
Is there actually such a condition as
“highway hypnosis”? Or is it just plain
falling asleep at the wheel?
Call it
highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or
whatever.
There is something about an easy stretch
of road with the same scenery, along
with the hum of the tires on the road,
the drone of the engine, and the rush
of
the wind against the vehicle that can
make you sleepy. Don’t let it happen
to
you! If it does, your vehicle can leave
the road
in less than a second, and you
could crash and be injured.
What can you do about highway
hypnosis? First, be aware that it can
happen.
Then here are some tips:
Make sure your vehicle is well
ventilated, with a comfortably cool
interior.
