Windshield Washer
At the top of the turn signal/multifunction lever there’s a
paddle with the word
PUSH on it. To spray washer fluid
on the windshield, push the paddle for less than a
second. The wipers will clear the window and there
either stop or return to your preset speed. For more
washer cycles, push and hold the paddle. Remember,
driving without washer fluid can be dangerous.
A bad
mud splash can block your vision. You could hit another
vehicle or
go off the road. Check your washer fluid level
often.
Some models have a
WASHER FLUID warning, that
indicates
if the fluid level in the windshield washer is
low. See “Low Washer Fluid Warning Light” in the
Index.
NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer
fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze
and damage your washer fluid tank and
other parts
of the washer system. Also,
water doesn’t clean
as well as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only 314 full
when it’s very cold. This allows for
expansion, which could damage the tank
if
it is completely full.

Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(km/h). Your
odometer
shows how far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
The odometer
and trip odometer are displayed in the
Driver Information Center on vehicles
so equipped.
Tamper Resistant Odometer
Your Pontiac has a tamper resistant odometer. If you see
silver lines between the numbers, you’ll know that
someone has probably tried to turn it back,
so the
numbers may not be true.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the
mileage total
of the old odometer, then it must be. But if
it can’t, then it’s set at zero and a label must be put on
the driver’s door
to show the old mileage reading when
the new odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven
since you last reset it.
To set it to zero:
0 On vehicles with the Driver Information Center,
press the button labeled
TRIP.
On vehicles with the Systems Monitor, the button is
next to the trip odometer. Push and release in a
smooth, continuous motion until all zeroes appear.

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
E
ANTILOCK (@I)
With the anti-lock brake
system, this light will come
on when you start your
engine and may stay on for
several seconds. That’s
normal.
If the light doesn’t
come on, have it fixed
so it
will be ready to warn you if
there is a problem.
Traction Control System Warning Light
(Option)
This warning light
should come on briefly
as you start the engine.
r TRACTION OFF
If the light stays on, turn the ignition off. Or, if the light
comes on when you’re driving, stop
as soon as possible
and turn the ignition off. Then
start the engine again to
reset the system.
If the light still stays on, or comes on
again while you’re driving, your Pontiac needs service.
If the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you
still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes.
If the regular brake system warning light is also on, you
don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with
your regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light”
earlier in this part.
If the warning light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem. If it
stays on, or comes on when you’re driving, there may be
a problem with your traction control system
and your
vehicle may need service. When this warning light is on,
the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving
accordingly.
