2004 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE glove box

Rear Reading Lamps
The rear reading lamps, located over each rear door,
will come on as courtesy lamps when you open
any of the doors while it is dark outside. They will also
come on as part of the interior lighting features listed
previously.
To turn on a reading lamp when the doors are closed,
press either button. Press it again to turn the lamp off.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp or cigarette lighter. When the ignition is
turned off, the power to these features will automatically
turn off after 10 minutes. Power will be restored for
an additional 10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk
is opened or the courtesy lamps are turned on. To
restore power back to the cigarette lighter the ignition
must be turned back to ON.

At Least Twice a Year
Restraint System Check
Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages
are working properly. Look for any other loose or
damaged safety belt system parts. If you see anything
that might keep a safety belt system from doing its
job, have it repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety belts
replaced.
Also look for any opened or broken air bag coverings,
and have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag
system does not need regular maintenance.)
Wiper Blade Check
Inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking. Replace
blade inserts that appear worn or damaged or that
streak or miss areas of the windshield. Also see
“Windshield Wiper and Wiper Blades” underCleaning
the Outside of Your Vehicle on page 5-94.
Weatherstrip Lubrication
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth. During very cold,
damp weather more frequent application may be
required. SeePart D: Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-25.
Automatic Transaxle Check
Check the transaxle uid level; add if needed. See
Automatic Transaxle Fluid on page 5-23. A uid loss
may indicate a problem. Check the system and repair if
needed.
At Least Once a Year
Key Lock Cylinders Service
Lubricate the key lock cylinders with the lubricant
specied in Part D.
Body Lubrication Service
Lubricate all hinges and latches, including those for the
hood, rear compartment, glove box door, console
door and any folding seat hardware. Part D tells you
what to use. More frequent lubrication may be required
when exposed to a corrosive environment.
