If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to
be undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time,
you may also want to check the fuse (see ªFuses and
Circuit Breakersº in the Index). If the engine still does
not start with the other key, your vehicle needs service.
If your vehicle does start, the first key may be faulty.
See your dealer who can service the PASS
-Key III to
have a new key made. In an emergency, contact Pontiac
Roadside Assistance. See ªRoadside Assistanceº in the
Index for more information.
It is possible for the PASS
-Key III decoder to learn
the transponder value of a new or replacement key.
Up to 10 additional keys may be programmed for the
vehicle. This procedure is for learning additional keys
only. If all the currently programmed keys are lost or do
not operate, you must see your dealer or a locksmith
who can service PASS
-Key III to have keys made and
programmed to the system.
See your dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS
-Key III to get a new key blank that is cut exactly
as the ignition key that operates the system.Canadian Owners: If you lose or damage your keys,
only a GM dealer can service PASS
-KEY III to have
new keys made. To program additional keys, you will
need two current driver's keys, (black in color). You
must add a step to the procedure, ªTo program the
new key.ºAfter Step 2, repeat Steps 1 and 2 with
the second current driver's key, (black in color).
Then continue with Step 3.
To program the new key do the following:
1. Verify that the new key has ªPK3º stamped on it.
2. Insert the master key in the ignition and start the
engine. If the engine will not start, see your dealer
for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to OFF, and
remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to RUN
within five seconds of removing the original key.
5. The SECURITY light will turn off once the key has
been programmed. It may not be apparent that the
SECURITY light went on due to how quickly the
key is programmed.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 if additional keys are
to be programmed.

Turn and Lane Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is finished, the lever will return to its
original position automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash
in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return to its
original position when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrow
flashes faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers won't see your turn signal.If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned
-out bulbs and then check
the fuse. See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index.
A chime will sound if you leave the turn signal on for
more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km).
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high beam,
or high to low, pull the multifunction lever all the way
toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this light on the
instrument panel cluster will
appear. While the high
-beam
headlamps are on, the fog
lamps will not illuminate.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Head
-Up-Display
(HUD), an arrow will appear in the display area to
indicate that the high beams are on. See
ªHead
-Up-Display (HUD)º in the Index for
more information.

Accessory Power Outlet
Your vehicle has a 12-volt outlet which can be used to
plug in electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone,
a compact disc player, etc. It is located on the
passenger's side, near the floor.
Remove the tethered cap to use the outlet. When
not using the outlet, be sure to cover it with the
protective cap.
The accessory power outlet will only operate while the
ignition is on and for a few minutes after turning the
ignition off. If you would like to operate an accessory
for an extended period of time, see your dealer for
more information.
NOTICE:
When using accessory power outlets:
Maximum load of any outlet should not
exceed the fuse rating.
Be sure to turn off electrical equipment
when not in use. Leaving electrical
equipment on for extended periods can
drain the battery.
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible with the
accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle or
adapter fuses. If you experience a problem, see your dealer
for additional information on the accessory power plugs.
NOTICE:
Adding some electrical equipment to your vehicle
can damage it or keep other things from working
as they should. This wouldn't be covered by your
warranty. Check with your dealer before adding
electrical equipment, and never use anything that
exceeds the fuse rating.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the
proper installation instructions included with the equipment.
NOTICE:
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs
only. Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of
the power outlet can cause damage not covered
by your warranty.
2-99 Care of the Head-Up Display
Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove
any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of
the HUD image.
To clean the HUD, 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 could leak into the unit.If You Can't See the HUD Image When the Ignition
Is On
Is anything covering the HUD unit?
Is the HUD dimmer setting bright enough?
Is the HUD image adjusted to the proper height?
Still no HUD image? Check the fuse in the
instrument panel fuse block. See ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index.
If the HUD Image Is Not Clear
Is the HUD image too bright?
Are the windshield and HUD lens clean?
The windshield is part of the HUD system. If you ever
need 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.
6-69 Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers
and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. This
greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by
electrical problems.
Look at the silver
-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating. Spare fuses are located in the instrument
panel. See ªUnderhood Fuse Blockº in the Index.Instrument Panel Fuse Block
Some fuses are in a fuse block located inside of the
glove box behind a small bin on the right side. To open,
pull the cover out. The fuse block is inside. On the back
edge of this cover is a fuse puller and a fuse usage chart.
To use the fuse puller, place the wide end of the fuse
puller over the plastic end of the fuse. Squeeze the ends
over the fuse and pull it out.
To reinstall the bin, position the lower end and turn
the top into position. Press on the sides until it snaps
into place.
