1995 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE battery replacement

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
“Theft-Deterrent System” 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 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.

Operation
The driver’s door will unlock when UNLOCK is
pressed. If pressed again within
25 seconds, all doors
will unlock. Also, if your car is equipped with a locking
fuel filler door
it will unlatch at this time. All doors will
lock when
LOCK is pressed.
The
trunk will unlock when the opened trunk symbol on
the key fob
is pressed, but only when the ignition is off.
Press any button to illuminate the interior lamps (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
exactly the same model system, (General Motors ofks
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.

NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads
could result in costly
brake repair.
b
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.
Your rear drum brakes don’t have wear indicators, but if
you ever hear a rear brake rubbing noise, have the rear
brake linings inspected. Also, the rear brake drums
should be removed and inspected each time the tires are
removed for rotation or changing. When you have the
front brakes replaced, have the rear brakes inspected,
too.
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 apply the brakes moderately, with or
without the vehicle moving, your brakes adjust for wear.
Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern 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 replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label.
