2001 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE ignition

2-104
HUD shows these images when they are lighted on the
instrument panel.
The speedometer may display a difference of 1.5 mph
(2.4 km/h) from the HUD image. This is normal.
When the ignition key is turned to ON, all possible
HUD images will come on, then the HUD will
operate normally.If you never look at your instrument panel cluster, you
may not see something important, such as a warning
light. So be sure to scan your displays and controls and
the driving environment just as you would in a vehicle
without HUD.
NOTICE:
Although the HUD image appears to be near
the front of the vehicle, do not use it as a parking
aid. The HUD was not designed for that purpose.
If you try to use it that way, such as in a
parking lot, you may misjudge distance
and run into something.

2-106
If the sun comes out, or it becomes cloudy, or if you turn
on your headlamps, you may need to adjust the HUD
brightness using the HUD dimmer control. Polarized
sunglasses could make the HUD image harder to see.
Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove
any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of
the HUD image.
Spray household glass cleaner on a soft, clean cloth.
Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry it. Do not spray
cleaner directly on the lens, because the cleaner fluid
could leak inside the unit.If you can't see the HUD image when the ignition is on,
check to see if:

The HUD unit is covered,

the HUD dimmer control is adjusted correctly,

the HUD image is adjusted to the proper height, or

a fuse in the fuse panel may have blown. See ªFuses
and Circuit Breakersº in the Index.
If the HUD image is not clear, it could be too bright.
Move the HUD dimmer control further downward.
You may need to clean the windshield and HUD lens.
Your windshield is part of the HUD system. If you ever
have to have a new windshield, be sure to get one
designed for HUD. If you don't, the HUD image may
look blurred and out of focus.

Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system
work for you.
With these systems, you can control the heating,
cooling and ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle
also has a flow
-through ventilation system described
later in this section.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passenger
compartment air filter. For more information, see
ªPassenger Compartment Air Filterº in the Index.
Comfort Controls Personalization
(If Equipped)
This feature allows two different drivers to store and
recall their own climate control settings for temperature,
air delivery mode and fan speed. The personal choice
settings recalled are determined by the transmitter used
to enter the vehicle. After the button with the unlock
symbol on a remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed,
and the ignition is in ON, the climate control will adjust
to the last settings of the identified driver. The settings
can also be changed by pressing one of the memory
buttons (1 or 2) located on the driver's door, until you
hear two beeps. When adjustments are made, the new
settings are automatically saved for that driver.
Standard Climate Control System
Fan Knob
The left knob regulates the force of the air coming
through the system. Turn the knob clockwise to increase
the fan speed and counterclockwise to decrease the fan
speed. Push this knob to turn the fan off. The fan must
be on to run the air conditioning compressor.
Temperature Knob
The right knob regulates the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn it toward the blue area
for cooler air. Turn it toward the red area for warmer air.

Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work better, reducing the chance of
fogging your windows.

In cool damp weather, minimize your use of RECIRC
to reduce the chance of fogging your windows.

When you enter a vehicle with the standard system in
cold weather, select FLOOR mode to supply air
through the floor outlets. Then turn the fan on high for
a few moments before driving away. This will blow
moist air from the intake outlets toward the floor, not
the windshield. It reduces the chance of fogging your
windows. If you have the electronic system, the
AUTO setting will do this for you. Manual operation
of the electronic system in the FLOOR mode will also
supply air through the floor outlets.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all its controls, to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
Setting the Clock for Systems with Radio
Data System
Press and hold HR or MIN for two seconds. Then press
and hold HR until the correct hour appears. AM or PM
will appear on the display. Press and hold MIN until the
correct minute appears. The clock may be set with the
ignition on or off.
To set the clock to the time of an FM station
broadcasting Radio Data System (RDS) information,
press and hold HR and MIN at the same time for
two seconds until UPDATED and the clock symbol
appear on the display. If the time is not available
from the station, NO UPDATE will appear on the
display instead.

Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer
than that are so thin they may not work well in this
player. The longer side with the tape visible should face
out. If the ignition is on, but the radio is off, the tape can
be inserted and will begin playing. If you hear nothing
but a garbled sound, the tape may not be in squarely.
Press the eject button to remove the tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the BAL FADE, TONE,
EQ, SEEK and SCAN controls just as you do for the
radio. The display will show TAPE and an arrow
showing which side of the tape is playing. The tape
player automatically begins playing the other side when
it reaches the end of the tape.
Your tape bias is set automatically when a metal or chrome
tape is inserted. If you want to insert a tape when the
ignition is off, first press the eject button or the RCL knob.
If an error appears on the radio display, the tape won't
play because of an error.
TIGHT TAPE is displayed when the tape is tight and the
player can't turn the tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold
the tape with the open end down and try to turn the right
hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn the tape over and repeat. If the hubs do not turn
easily, your tape may be damaged and should not be
used in the player. Try a new tape to make sure your
player is working properly.
BROKEN TAPE is displayed when the tape is broken.
Try a new tape.
WRAPPED TAPE is displayed when the tape is
wrapped around the tape head. Attempt to get the
cassette out. Try a new tape.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, please contact your dealer. If your radio
displays an error message, write it down and provide it
to your dealer when reporting the problem.
