Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more
from the driver’s seat.
Manual Remote Control Mirror
The outside rearview mirror should be adjusted so you
can just see the side
of your vehicle when you are sitting
in a comfortable driving position.
Adjust the driver side outside mirror with the control
lever
on the driver’s door.
To adjust your passenger side mirror, sit in the driver’s
seat and have
a passenger adjust the mirror for you.
Power Remote Control Mirrors
(Option)
A control lever on the
driver’s door controls both
l outside rearview mirrors.
Select the mirror
you want to adjust by rotating the lever
to the left or right. Adjust each mirror so that you can
just see the side
of your vehicle and the area behind your
vehicle, when you are sitting in a comfortable driving
position.
When
you operate the optional rear window defogger,
the outside rearview mirrors are also heated to help clear
them
of ice and snow.

Engine Accessory Belt

3800 Supercharged (L67) Engine
(Option)
Your Bonneville may have a 3800 Supercharged engine.
The Supercharger is
a device which is designed to pump
more air into the engine than it would normally
use.
This air mixed with fuel, creates increased engine
power. Since the Supercharger is a pump and is driven
from an engine accessory drive belt, increased pressure
is available at all driving conditions.
The powertrain control module
(PCM), works with a
vacuum control to regulate the increased pressure
required during specific driving conditions. When this
increased pressure or boost is not desired, such as during
idling
and light throttle cruising, the excess air that the
Supercharger is pumping is routed through a bypass.
All
of these controls, working together provide high
performance character
and fuel efficiency in the
3800 V6 Supercharged engine.
The power steering pump uses a remote reservoir
mounted on the throttle and cruise control cable bracket.
See “Maintenance Schedule”
in the Index for when you
should check the fluid.
