1995 PONTIAC GRAND-AM door lock

When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition key
off. The steering wheel should be clamped in a
straight-ahead position, with a clamping device
designed for towing service. Do not use the vehicle’s
steering column lock for this. The transaxle should be in
NEUTRAL (N) and the parking brake released.
The ignition key must be in the OFF position to prevent
the automatic door locks from locking during towing.
Don’t have your vehicle towed on the front wheels,
unless you must.
If the vehicle must be towed on the
front wheels, don’t go more than
35 mph (55 km/h) or
farther than
50 miles (80 km) or your transaxle will be
damaged.
If these limits must be exceeded, then the
front wheels have to be supported on
a dolly.

Towing from the Rear -- Vehicle Hookup
TOW LIMITS-35 MPH (55 KPH), 50 MILES
(80 KM)
Before hooking up to a tow truck, be sure to read all the
information in “Towing
Your Vehicle” earlier in this
section.
Also be sure to use the proper hook-up for your
particular vehicle.
NOTE: The ignition key must be in the OFF position to
avoid the automatic door lock from locking during tow.
Attach T-hook chains on
both sides, in the slotted
holes in the underbody,
just ahead
of the wheels.
NOTICE:
Do not tow with sling-type equipment or rear
bumper valance will be damaged. Use wheel-lift
or car carrier equipment (additional ramping
may be required for car carrier equipment). Use
safety chains and wheel straps.

The cap is behind a hinged door on the right side of your
vehicle.
To open the fuel door, pull the fuel access handle on the
floor by the driver’s seat.
The remote fuel filler door release can help keep your
fuel tank from being siphoned. Always be sure the fuel
door is closed and latched after refueling.
While refueling, hang the cap inside the fuel door.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise).

At Least Once a Year
Key Lock Cylinders
Lubricate the key lock cylinders with the lubricant specified in Part
D.
Body Lubrication
Lubricate all body door hinges. Also lubricate all hinges and latches, including those for the hood, trunk lid,
glove box door and console door. Part
D tells you what
to use. More frequent lubrication may be required when
exposed to a corrosive environment.
Starter Switch
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room
around the vehicle.
2. Firmly apply both the parking brake (see “Parking
Brake” in the Index
if necessary) and the regular
brake.
NOTE: Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be
ready to turn off the engine immediately if it starts.
3. On automatic transaxle vehicles, try to start the
engine in each gear. The starter should work only in
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
If the starter works in
any other position, your vehicle needs
service.
On manual transaxle vehicles, put the shift lever in
NEUTRAL (N), push the clutch down halfway and try to start the engine. The starter should work only
when the clutch
is pushed down all the way to the
floor. If the starter works when the clutch isn’t
pushed all the way down, your vehicle needs service.
