2004 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE fog light

Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not activate if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
activates only if you use a power door lock switch while
the door is open, or the remote keyless entry
transmitter.
Avoid setting off the alarm by accident.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. Unlocking a door any
other way will set off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock the driver’s
door with your key. You can also turn off the alarm
by pressing the button with the unlock symbol on the
remote keyless entry transmitter. The alarm will not stop
if you try to unlock a door any other way.
Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with the
power door lock switch while the door is open, or
with the remote keyless entry transmitter (if
equipped).
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for
the SECURITY light to go out.
4. Then, reach in through the window, unlock the door
with the manual door lock and open the door. This
should set off the alarm.If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to
see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-101.
If the alarm does not sound, or the exterior lamps do
not ash, see your dealer.
Content Theft-Deterrent
If your vehicle has this option, it has a content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
A light located in your Twilight Sentinel
®cluster, above
the fog lamp button, will begin to ash 30 seconds
after the vehicle ignition is turned off to let you know the
system has been armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to
enter the vehicle without using the remote keyless entry
transmitter or a key, breaks a window, tries to damage
the vehicle or turns the ignition to ON. If any of these do
occur, the horn will sound and the parking lamps will
ash for up to two minutes.

When it is dark enough outside, your regular intensity
headlamps will come on at full brightness and the
DRL lighting will turn off. The parking lamps that
normally come on with your headlamps will also come
on. When it is bright enough outside, the regular
intensity headlamps and parking lamps will turn back
off, and the reduced brightness DRL lighting will
turn back on.
To idle your vehicle during the day with the DRL off,
shift the transaxle into PARK (P). The DRL will stay off
until you shift out of PARK (P).
At night, you can turn off all exterior lamps when you
are in PARK (P) by turning the Twilight Sentinel
®knob
all the way to OFF.
If the knob was already in OFF, it must be cycled to ON
and back to OFF. Turn the knob clockwise to turn the
exterior lighting back on. The lamps will come back
on automatically when you put the transaxle in gear.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps
The fog lamps button is located below the twilight knobs,
to the left of the steering wheel on the instrument panel.
An indicator light in the button will glow when the fog
lamps are on. Your parking lamps will also come
on automatically while the fog lamps are active.
If your fog lamps are on when you use your high beams
or ash-to-pass feature, the fog lamps will be disabled
while the feature is being used.

#A/C (Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning compressor on and off. When A/C is
pressed, an indicator light in the button will come on
to let you know that air conditioning is activated. If your
climate control system is off, you may also turn it
back on in vent mode by selecting the A/C button.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the
time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days, do the following:
1. Select the vent mode.
2. Select the recirculation mode.
3. Select A/C.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside of your vehicle to become too
dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in
your vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from
the air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of
water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling or
after turning off the engine. This is normal.Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity
(moisture) condensing on the cool window glass. This
can be minimized if the climate control system is used
properly. There are two modes to clear fog or frost from
your windshield. Use the defog mode to clear the
windows of fog or moisture and warm the passengers.
Use the defrost mode to remove fog or frost from the
windshield more quickly.
Press one of the available mode buttons to select the
defog or defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode directs most of the air to the
windshield and the oor outlets. A small amount of air is
also directed to the outboard outlets (for the side
windows). When you select this mode, the system turns
off recirculation and runs the air conditioning compressor
unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing.
The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in the
defog mode.

PASS (Passenger’s Side Temperature):The knob on
the right is used to change the temperature of the air
coming through the system on the passenger’s side of
the vehicle. Push this knob to turn the system on
and off. Turn the knob toward the blue area to decrease
the set temperature, and toward the red area to
increase the set temperature. When this knob is
adjusted, only the word PASS will be displayed under
the set temperature.
9(Fan):Press the Fan button to display and hold the
current fan speed while in manual mode. Press the
HIGH side to increase fan speed and the LOW side to
decrease the fan speed.
MODE:Press this button repeatedly to cycle through
and choose the mode of air delivery into the vehicle. The
system will stay in the selected mode until MODE is
pressed again or until the AUTO button is pressed.
FLOOR:This mode directs most of the airow to the
oor outlets with some directed to the outboard
outlets (for the side windows) and the windshield.
BI-LEVEL:This mode directs airow through the
instrument panel outlets and slightly warmer air through
the oor outlets.PANEL:This mode directs airow through the
instrument panel outlets.
Whenever MODE is pressed, the display will show the
current system settings for ve seconds before
returning the display to the exterior temperature.
The mode button can also be used to select the DEFOG
mode. Information on defogging and defrosting can
be found later in this section.:OUTSIDE AIR:Press this button to turn the
OUTSIDE AIR mode on or off. When this mode is on,
outside air will circulate through your vehicle. When the
button is pressed, an indicator light in the button will
come on to let you know that it is activated. The
OUTSIDE AIR mode can be used with all modes except
the recirculation mode.
If you are in city traffic, and your vehicle is stopped and
idling, or the weather is hot, the system may switch
from the OUTSIDE AIR mode to the recirculation mode.
To prevent the air inside of your vehicle from becoming
too stale, be sure to return to the outside air mode
periodically.
