1994 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE trunk

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.
The 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.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your
keys, open your door and set the locks from
inside. Then get out and close the door.
If your vehicle has
the theft deterrent
option, see “Universal Theft Deterrent”
later
in this section.

Remote Keyless Entry
(OPTION)
If your Pontiac has this option, you can
lock and unlock your doors or unlock
your
trunk from up to 30 feet (9 m) away
using the key chain transmitter supplied
with your vehicle.
Your Remote Keyless Entry System
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:
(I) This devict
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
3peration.
Should interference to this system occur,
try
this:
0 Check to determine if battery
replacement is necessary. See the
instructions on battery replacement.
0 Check the distance. You may be too
far from your vehicle. This product
has a maximum range.
0 Check the location. Other vehicles or

the signal.
0 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

Operafion
The driver’s door will unlock when
“UNLOCK’ is pressed. If
it is pressed
again
within 25 seconds, all the doors will
unlock. Also, if your car is equipped with
a locking fuel filler door, it will unlatch at
ProCarManuals.com

this time. All doors, including the fuel
filler door,
will lock when “LOCK” is
pressed.
The trunk
will unlock when the opened
trunk symbol is pressed, but only when
the ignition is off.
Press any button to illuminate the interior
lights (see “Illuminated Entry System’’
in
the Index).
Matching Transmitter(s)
To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is
lost or stolen,
a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer.
Remember
to bring any remaining
transmitters
with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the
replacement transmitter to your vehicle,
the remaining transmitters
must also be
matched. Once the new transmitter is
coded, the lost transmitter
will not unlock
your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many
different vehicles as
you own, provided
they are equipped with exactlv 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.
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.
ro Replace Batteries in the Remote
Keyless Entry:
I. Remove the screw from the back
cover.
2. Lift the front cover off, bottom half
first.
3. Remove and replace the two batteries
(2016).
4. Reassemble the transmitter.
i. Check the transmitter operation.

does start, the first ignition key may be
faulty. See your Pontiac dealer or a
locksmith who can service the
PASS-Key’II.
If you accidentally use
a key that has a
damaged
or missing resistor pellet, the
starter won’t work and the “SECURITY”
light
will flash. But you don’t have to
wait three minutes before trying another
ignition key.
See your Pontiac dealer or a locksmith
who can service the PASS-Key@II to
have
a new key made.
If you’re ever driving and the
“SECURITY” light comes on and
remains on, you
will be able to restart
your engine
if you turn it off. Your
PASS-Key@II system, however, is not working properly and must be serviced by
your Pontiac dealer. Your vehicle is not
protected by the PASS-Key@II system.

Universal Theft
Deterrent
-(OPTION)
If your Pontiac has this option, it has a
theft deterrent alarm system. With this
system, the “SECURITY”
light will flash
as you open the door
(if your ignition is
off).
This light reminds you to arm
the theft
deterrent system when leaving your
vehicle.
To Arm the System:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door
lock switch or Keyless Entry
transmitter. The “SECURITY” light
should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The “SECURITY”
light should go off after about
30 seconds and the system will then
be armed.
If the “SECURITY” light comes on for
one
minute and then shuts off while the
ignition is on, the security system has
detected a problem with itself. See your
dealer for service.
If a door or the trunk is opened without
the key or Keyless Entry transmitter, the
alarm
will go off. It will also go off if a
door lock or the trunk lock is damaged.
Your vehicle’s lights
will flash and the
horn
will sound for three minutes, then
will go off to save battery power.
Remember, the theft deterrent system
won’t arm
if you lock the doors with a
key or manual door lock. It arms only if
you use a power door lock switch or
Keyless Entry transmitter.
To Avoid Setting Off the Alarm by
Accident:
If you don’t want to arm the theft
deterrent system, the vehicle should be
locked “after”
the doors are closed.
Always unlock
a door with a ke,y; or use
the Keyless Entry System transmitter.
Unlocking a door any other way will set
off the alarm.

earlier. Once the alarm is set, reach

If the alarm does not sound when it
should, check to see
if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown. To replace
the fuse, see “Fuses
& Circuit Breakers”
in the Index.
To reduce the possibility
of theft, always
arm the theft deterrent system
when
leaving your vehicle.

door, a light will glow around the door
lock. This will help you insert the door

seconds, or when you start your engine.
These lights will also
go on when you

Keyless Entry transmitter.
If a door is left ajar, your interior lights
will turn
off after ten minutes to save your
battery.

I Electronic Compass
(OPTIOEI)
lome vehicles are equipped with an
lectronic compass.
As with all
ompasses, this
unit senses the earth’s
lagnetic field
to show the direction the
ar is pointing.
’he earth’s magnetic field
is not always
he same direction as true north as we
:now it.
So, you must enter a zone
umber
to tell the compass the difference
letween magnetic and actual north. This
ells the compass where in the country
’ou are driving ’he
compass shows the zone number
in
se each time you turn your key on. This
3 shown above. The number is turned off
fter a few seconds.
’he compass remembers your zone,
so
‘ou only have to change it if you drive to
new zone on the map. The compass
.djusts only a small amount for each
:one,
so you may not notice a difference
f you drive from one zone to the next
me,
until you cross several zones.
