1993 PONTIAC GRAND-PRIX height

_1
To adjust the HUD so you can see it
properly:
1. Start your engine and slide the HUD
dimmer control (to the right
of the
steering wheel, below the wiper/
washer control) all the way to
HI.
The brightness of the HUD image is
determined
by whether the headlight
switch is on or off, and where you
have set the HUD dimmer control.
2. Adjust the seat, if necessary, before
setting the height control. Slide the
HUD image height control all the
way toward you, raising the image as
far as possible, Then slide the HUD
image height control away from you
so the image is as low as possible but
in full view.
3. Slide the dimmer control toward
OFF until the HUD image is no
brighter than necessary. To turn the
HUD off, slide the HUD dimmer
control to OFF. If the
sun comes out,
or it becomes cloudy,
or if you turn
on your headlights,
you may need to
adjust the HUD’s brightness
using
the HUD dimmer control. Polarizing
sunglasses could make
the HUD
image harder to see.
If the HUD image is too
1 L bright, or too high in your
field of view, it may take you more
time to see things you need to see
when it’s dark outside. Be sure to
keep the HUD image dim and
placed low in your field of view.

To switch the speedometer from
English (conventional) to metric
units, or back again, use the tip of a

button and use the pen to depress the
SET button below it to switch to the

Care of the Head-Up Display
Clean the inside of the windshield as
needed to remove any dirt or film that
reduces the sharpness or clarity
of the
HUD image.
To Clean the HUD:
Spray household glass cleaner on a soft,
clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently,
then dry it.
Do not spray cleaner
directly on the lens, because the cleaner
fluid could leak inside the unit if you
do.
If You Can’t See the HUD Image
When the Ignition is On:
Is anything covering the HUD unit?
Is the HUD dimmer control close
enough to
HI?
Is the HUD image adjusted to the
proper height?
Still no HUD image? Check the fuse
in the
CLUST position in the fuse
panel. See the
Index under Fuses G

Your Driving and the Road
Disc Brake Wear Indicators
(COWT.)
NOTICE
Continuing to drive with worn-out
brake pads could result in costly
brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates
may cause a brake squeal when the
brakes are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean something
is wrong
with your brakes.
Brake linings should always be replaced
as complete axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does
not return to normal height, or
if there
is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This
could be a sign
of brake trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a moderate brake
stop, your disc brakes adjust for wear. If
you rarely make a moderate or heavier
stop, then your brakes might not adjust
correctly. If you drive in that way,
then-very carefully-make a few
moderate brake stops about every
1,000
miles (1 600 km) , so your brakes will
adjust properly.
